What i do is i have the empeg on its own and in the glovebox the serial cable is pulled through into the glovebox as is the aux cable this means that i can run whatever i like through the empeg eg a cd walkman or my laptop. What i also have is a usb cable run through the dash to behind the empeg cage which can be pulled through and then the empeg unit put into the docking cage and i can use the laptop and usb connection. If i don't want to use it the cable is normally just left behind the cage and can be reached through the small hole in the back.

I really don't miss my cd player but i do miss the radio but it is coming isn't it folks
