What do you put in an empty DIN slot?

tajender · 17th April 2009, 14:06

It generally houses the remote control for HU, my cellphone and whatever CC bills, petrol bills, Toll reciepts and some chillar at times. And yeah, a hip flask on nights when am going to a party where drinks are not served

It is always my Wallet and at times, my workplace Identity badge.

Did anyone try fitting a worldspace receiver in the empty slot. Somehow I never liked Double Din sets.

A worldspace receiver in the DIN slot?
Never thought about it for the only reason that they (WS receivers) will not function unless the Antenna is Fixed in a specific direction.

Hence, A vehicle in motion will always hamper this criterion.

Else, if one still wants to listen to WS, then the cars always needs to be in Rest, and in a specific direction

There's a whole thread on WS receivers in cars. Some people have used them in cars. Probably when the come with a car antenna, I'll think about it. My current car dosen't have a 2 DIN slot though.

tissue papers...thats what i keep

My thumbdrive extension for the HU is in the empty slot, so along with thumbdrive there will be my wallet along with some petrol bills.

You could "mod" it into a CD case holder. I'd cut a hole in my M800 dash to mount a HU and later shifted it to a "console box".

Some DIY with sheet metal and the eyesore was covered and made into a CD holder.

An interesting thread-I have cut a non slip mat to fit the space and now store my i-Pod, mobile and remote for the stereo!

scarlet.fever · 6th June 2009, 14:08

I keep coins and toll tax slips generally.

pedrolourenco · 6th June 2009, 15:43

How about fitting a couple of HDD's in the slot to connect to the HU? I would have but I oly have a single DIN slot.

harishnayak · 6th June 2009, 16:17

I Just keep my remote and avoid keeping anything else in the DIN slot or the dash as i feel irritated if my car looks untidy or not kept well.

revved_up · 6th June 2009, 17:07

I keep my DND toll card and and the HU remote.

Sportsmind · 7th June 2009, 16:51
