you're probably right, but I get ocd about the wires for a portable system and it's nice to have on demand. It's the only thing I'm still really contemplating with this car. Maybe When i get to actually see it installed in a car I can make a better decision. I haven't found one on the lot yet...
I am going to be buying an MS3 in the next couple of weeks. I’m looking for a GT with Navi (haven’t decided on color yet, all four look awesome) I’ve already test driven one and basically fell in love on the spot. Anyway, I have made a short list for three different things. Mods/accessories...
I currently own a 240 and love that thing. The main reason for giving it up is it's age and reliability and professionalism I guess. I'm graduating and don't want to be driving to work in a two decade old car having to tote customers/coworkers around in it, squishing them in the back lol...

That is for a regular 3, and those pics are kinda low quality and dark.
**edit** I'm not sure how different the regular 3 and the speed 3 are in this respect.
I'm pretty sure this a how to on this forum, or maybe the other forum. Anyway, if you take out the glove box, it's kinda under there. I'll try to find the link.
