2582.0. "Vectra and audio alternatives" by KERNEL::MENDELSOHN (Greg Mendelsohn, Advanced Services Group) Fri May 23 1997 19:53

    Has anyone got a Vectra with the the CCR 600 stereo radio cassette and
    glove box mounted 6-disc CD autochanger as a replacemet for the
    standard CAR 400 unit.
    
    If you have, how much of the glovebox does it take up?

2582.1Not got one yet - But I've seen one !!42080::HARRINGTONMTue May 27 1997 18:3111
    Greg,
    
    got one on order, but I've "borrowed" a CDX for a weekend. It Takes up
    the whole glove box. It looks like a whole new moulding, as it's not as
    big as the normal "hole".
    
    Does this help ?

2582.2Why have they done this???45862::16.42.3.105::hiltong[email protected]Tue May 27 1997 18:513
Why do Vauxhall put this in the glovebox? Reduced cost of cabling???

Greg
2582.3I could tell you a story about reduced cable costs !!42080::HARRINGTONMThu May 29 1997 12:0313
    I hear - coz I asked why ? - it's for security ....!
    
    I asked if they could relocate it to the boot ... answer was no ... I
    needed to order "A" CD for "after fit" by the dealer. The glove box is
    usually much bigger than the CD front. It looks like they put a whole
    new panel in to reduce the opening size. You also loose the cooled
    glove box where you have aircon. I decided it was not worth the effort
    to sort out an alternative CD, so went with the standard Vauxhall
    option - I did think about an Omega instead - Boot mounted CD ..!!
