Love my Crosstour, but hate the crappy stock electronics. Decided that its time the car had some tech worthy of it, so decided to upgrade a bit. Since our cars dont attract too many mods and there is crap for info online for it, I decided I would share my progress.
First I removed the stock CD changer and storage drawer so I could recess the mini back far enough so that it could be used easily even with the shifter in park.
Next I used the stock CD changer mounting bracket to fabricate a mount for it, and started prepping to make a fiberglass mold.
Once I had my mold finished, I added some hardware so that the mini could be ejected for removal, but still look stock when it was in the car.
Its Bondo time!
Since the factory sub is asstastic, some sound system upgrades are in order as well. Here was step 1 in my sub box fabrication
Time for more fun with fiberglass!
Welp, thats as far as I got today. Will be working on it more tomorrow and will probably start my new amp rack as well. Will post more pics as I progress. Wish me luck!
