No modding required to glovebox.... so small and light you can just double side tape it to the plastic encasing inside glovebox

Looks like very nice item. I may consider this for 2nd input. However yah how did you get power? no problem for heat?

tapped into 12V of cigarette adapter line behind the dash, with a switch to kill it when I'm not using it, cause I didn't want it turned on everytime I turn the ignition

it uses 12VDC power, so no DC/DC converter needed

As for heat, it's got a pretty massive heatsink on it....haven't had any issues since I've installed it, although the texas summer is just around the corner so we'll see

when I have some more time, I'm going to take it apart and run the infrared LED's behind the air vent.. tired of opening and closing the glovebox to use the remote
