I'm thinking about installing the empeg in my 2000 Outback now that the lease is up and I paid it off. I'm thinking about making it a permanent in-dash mount instead, by removing and/or reshaping the fascia. The goal would be for the empeg to fit behind the dash assembly, kind of like the stock radio. I'd run an Ethernet cable out to the pocket underneath the radio slots so that I can connect it to my home network (or to a wireless bridge) when I want.

Given that you've already disassembled your car, do you see any holes in this idea? (Besides of course the increased potential for theft.)
