Default Car Audio Question and Climate Control Question

Anyone have replaced the cd changer with a single din? Also, regarding placing the climate control where the ashtray is (for people who have) how much of a pain is it?

I replaced mine with a single din. It's pretty easy just move the shift **** all the way back so you have enough room to pull the ashtray out; there are clips that hold it in on the sides

where did you place your single din? In the ashtray location?

thanks for that, many of the threads I have seen do not seem to answer the direct question I am asking, but I could be wrong and I will take a look

I searched RADIO CODE and came up with this thread which has the comment below from a senior Club Lexus Moderator in it.

I've seen it done before. I think in someone build thread on a Sport Design GS300. Reason why he did it was because he had Navigation, and wanted aftermarket radio.
