There are 2 places you can put the pac unit. If your skilled enough, you can try and tuck it under the stock radio (which I am not skilled, nor had the patience for.). The other way I know of, is in the passenger side (alternate cig. lighter housing.). After you remove this housing, you will see you have alot of space in this area, near where the carpeting starts. I simply pulled off the plastic piece (after removing the 2-3 screws) and let it slide snugly in that spot. Then I simply put the dash piece back over it...it was a bit more snug as your concealing an object there...but it works!!
I've also heard you can put it near the upper glove cubby box (kinda floating) up there....but I didnt want to have it 'float' there. It would only be held up by 2-3 pieces of thin metal...id rather have it 'sit' somewhere.

I put mine in the glovebox area (right in front of the in-cabin air filter). Its a lot easier to access and since I have an open RCA connection on it, if I ever wanted to put in another device its just taking off the 3 screws of the glovebox to reach it.
