Default Received my CD changer from Shokan yesterday.

Bought some M5 bolts at Lowe's ten minutes before they closed last night (hee) and installed the changer in about half an hour. I chose not to remove the whole bracket, which means I only got two bolts in. It was late, and I'm off to the Quattro Challenge later today, so I declared victory for the time being. I'll get the other bolts in at a later point. However, even with just two in, the changer feels solidly mounted. A road test revealed no skips or rattles.

For $177 delivered, I'm quite satisfied for now.

I told myself that the S4 gets no mod-money this year (must. buy. house.) although this was cheap enough to rationalize, and is a nice addition to my almost 2 year-old car.

Default Just ordered one myself

For that price, how could I not order one? They are really good to deal with. Took about 2 minutes for the whole transaction. Should be here Tuesday.

Default Shokan rocks! I put mine in 2 days ago... You can get one additional M5 in there

if you use the mechanics kind that has an allen-wrench. I don't think you will have any problems with only 2 though.

Default Were the bolts from Lowes short enough?

I had to cut mine down. They started at 10mm and were cut to 7 or 8mm.

Default Same deal.

They only had M5x10mm. But I used some lockwashers, which helped shorten the overall length, so they seem to be okay.

If I had had more time to get this all installed, I probably would've ground mine down as well.
