The T69 can be easily installed in glove box, boot or (with more difficulty under a seat). In place there is no visible evidence that it is there so it does not attract thieves. Unlike most car radios it has no security system of its own so this invisibility is important.. I find its six CD capacity more than adequate. The T69 uses a spare channel on compatible radios to produce true CD sound quality equal to that inherent in the installed radio. For non-compatible radios the T69 needs an additional gizmo to 'trick' your radio into thinking the T69 is original equipment. The Ford (FOR 01) adapter is about the size of a cigarette packet and adds £40-£80 to the cost.. Despite this the T69 gives, in my opinion, original equipment sound quality, at one-third to one-half of the price, depending where you buy. I paid £139.98 for CDX T69 AND the FOR 01 combined.

I bought this to supplement my F7750S Sony head unit. I didn't want to drill 200 holes in the car so have put it into the glove box as yet fixed to anything. I have since driven over some rough roads and speed bumps - not one skip - truly amazing.
The main head unit has a marginally clearer sound but this is very good quality and a shuffle through 7 ( inc head unit) of your favourite CD's is a real pleasure. The glove box when closed parks the unit at a horrible angle but a quick adjustment of the levelling dials and its been fine. The cables are about a mile long for boot intallation - I replaced the phono RCA lead with one of my own but the head connector is not so easy. It would be nice if they supplied two lengths but at this price you cannot moan. This unit with the F7750 in my Vectra C have totally changed my attitude to car music - those with the same car will know the Vauxhall kit isn't half bad but this takes it on to another dimension. Highly recommended.
