I installed my trailer brake controller in place of the casette player in my 2002 Suburban K2500.

I put the guts for a converter in there and the plugs under the onstar. Need to get some pics of it. Still need to seal it off with something, just dont know what yet

Any more ideas?

you could make a little slot to put an ipod or something?

Ya know,... the thing I like/hate about this forum is that although I've never used my cassette player, it never occured to me to put something else there. Now I can't stop thinking about it.
Might make a good stash spot for a 9mm in a spring clip. Maybe even a fake cassette player face. Hmmm...

I just ordered the compartment bin to replace the cassette player too after reading about it on this forum.

What about some sort of holder for a cell phone holder?

What did that cost you? Did you order it from the dealer?

Item #15958735 COMPARTMENT $19.07

Subtotal $19.07
Tax $0.00
UPS Ground $8.80
Special Shipping Cost $0.00
Total $27.87

You can do a google search with the part number and I found a half dozen places that had it. Says it will arrive tomorrow.

Thanks! I'd rather have that than the cassette player.

I got my storage compartment in Saturday, installed it in less than 5 minutes.

Open the flip compartment and using a 7mm socket pull out 2 screws (no need to even take the flip cover off). There are two plastic tabs on top of the plastic housing, I slid my hand up and gently popped them off.

Cassette player slides out and new compartment slides right in and clicks.

The compartment is bigger than I thought. Here is also a picture of it with a glock 27 in it so give you an idea of its size.

Very easy and cheap modification and gives a little more storage.

And if anyone needs a cassette player, it's free to anyone on this forum, just pay s&h.

Thanks Todd (and Trevor). I'm doing that.

Took less than 5 minutes to take out. I saved the cassette deck face to make a false front for the compartment. I'll take some pics when I get the part in.
