Nahh, only a 6 disk unfortunately

Do you know if you need to drill, or are there pre-drilled plugged holes?

/me hopes

Don't like the idea of drilling my puma

Don't like the idea of drilling my puma

Never fitted one myself, but velcro may be an alternative :?:

after doing this in every car ive owned mate i know a l;ittle bout this
first off...if you slide seat forward and have people in the back and so on quite a lot it tends to get bit of abuse alos a lotta dirt gets into it
i put mine in the boot everytime.......just run the wire under the carpet then through the back seat and place the changer in the corner of boot
as for the drilling part i used to just drill through but now iprefer to get bitta mdf use your boot carpet as a stencil and cut a mdf shape of your boot
glue this to the floor with some wood to metal glue and that means any drilling doesnt have to go through the floor as your attaching it to mdf
with just a boot changer this may seem like lotta hassle.....but as ive got sub and amp its essential as id have tholes all over boot
hope this helps mate
any questions gimme shout

Cheers people, will have a final look today.

I guess i'll be looking at the boot mount idea, since i can imagine that mounting it under the seat would, as mentioned, be a nightmare for passengers sitting behind...

Hehe - the kids love it in the back, just thinking of when they get a little bigger.

And no, they are well trained and CLEAN kids - trained not to touch anything they shouldn't touch!!

Never gone in for heavy duty tuning of the audi kit, prefer the turbo chatter myself ;-)

Well whilst I love my FRP pop n crackle too ... I have gone the same way as the earlier suggestions... 10 Disc unit in the boot and it seems the best way...

The only other option if you have a 6-Disc unit is to put it in the glove box... it does fit, though doesn't leave a lot of room for much else!

I wouldn't fit a CD changer in with velcro.

You'd be surprised how much stuff flies around the car in an accident- some of which may impact your head :?

Easy just fit a ford 6006 6 stacker in the dash,no additional wiring,it justs slips right in the hole :wink:

If you don't like the idea of drilling the boot floor (some thing I would never do. What a great way to encorage rust, unpainted self tapping screws pointing towards all the sh*t under the car) a good alternative is the back of the back seat. Cover a square of MDF with black carpet, 4 screws to the seat back, fasten the CD unit to that. It's less intrusive than is sitting in the middle of the boot floor two.

I myself have a nice Pioneer 12 disc changer mounted in the boot.

I cut some MDF to shape, primed and painted it black. I then drilled four holes from inside the boot through the right wheel arch to bolt the MDF board to the car. I then mounted the changer to the board, simple. I decided to mount the changer on the side of the boot so you can still remove the boot carpet if required, I also felt vertical mounting would give more useful boot space.

After fitting my rear Excel spoiler I no longer have the fear! :eyes: Must admit drilling holes in the boot lid with 13mm drill bit and the sound it made was a bit never racking at the time.

Have fun, there aren't many things better than playing around with your kat!

Just to comment on CD changer placement for the benefit of those who are not sure, I have

i) On first purchase standard Alpine 6 disk changer worked OK on the floor - I made wooden feet to level it and secured it with Velcro. It held securely and should not a problem in the event of an accident.

It does interfere to a limited extent with rear pax foot room and also the seat cables below.

ii) Permanent update to an in-seat installation. For those who have the mk1 Puma seat, there is an optional front trim to the seat which allows access to a changer mounted to the seat fame below the squab.

In my case I had to adapt it for the Alpine changer rather than std Ford Sony unit for which it is designed. But then it cost third of the price!.

And there it remains today - still in use 3 years later.
