	The best thing you can do is to get a Sony Bensi Box with your
 system so you can remove the radio from the car.The Bensi Box is a 
 simple 2 piece unit,one box goes in the dash, and one goes around your      
 radio and you simply slide the unit in and out.The only "catch" to this
 is that you have to let the store you get it from install it......they
 don't sell it as a stand alone.Depending on the car,if you have a console
 there sometimes is a space between the dash and the console,you can mount
 your radio there and remove it when you want...which is what I did.
