does anyone know the exact size of this little pocket? is it a weird shape or anything?

i haven't pulled the cover off of mine yet, because i don't want to damage it. but i'm curious as to what, if anything, would fit in that little spot, and not look retarded.

n/a car, so i wouldn't be in need of a small boost controller or turbo timer. what would be good in there? anything?
 
I dunno what would fit there but that piece comes off really easily. I am thinking of getting Sirus or XM radio so I'm gonna see if I can rig anything in there. The only thing that looks like that could possibily fit is the XM Commander Radio. If I get a hold of one and try it, I'll post pics. Other than that, I can't think of anything else fitting there.
 
The "pocket" inside of the deck is 1-5/8"x 5-1/4" wide x 5-1/8" deep. the panel is the exact size it looks and 3/4" deep, but just pull it out won't hurt anything...

I'm wondering too... I pulled mine off the other day and was thnking if there was something I could put in it's place to maybe hold my cell phone or something. Let me know if you figure something out.
 
I can't believe how much they want for just the Mazda tape deck. Plus probably another $100 to install it. (notcool)
 
I was thinking about the satellite commander too, but installing it the open slot down below the ac controls.

that work well you think?

It's just a cover, you have remove that using a credit card or something similar, slide it underneath and lift out. It's not screwed to anything just a cover.
 
down under the controls would work but it would look flush if the commander can be rigged in there...
 
i put an FM transmitter with an input jack in their for my mp3 player.
if we could have a plastic insert then it'd make a nice pocket
 
If anybody has an extra one of these covers, please pm me, I need one. I need the one that comes on the p5radios (the rectangular ones, not the ones with sloped sides).

Thanks!

You might be able to find a small 3-band EQ to fit in there. I know a couple of companys used to make 1/2 din 1/2 width units.

I was going to put my David Navone Line Out Converter in there.
 
do you think that we can upgrade EQ for manuafactory CD player? Can you guys give me any info about the stock CD?
