When i do get it done i'm going to do the same thing my buddy did with his gt and thats have it installed in the center console. I have an armrest so it wouldn't be seen,that would be my suggestion if you don't want to drill a hole in your glove box to run the wire to the HU.
The new generation alpine headunits have just the cable that hooks up to the ipod but the generation Alpine headunit I have uses the ipod interface thing that I hid in the glove box. My Alpines rear channel RCA output stopped working and the headunit isn't even a year old. I'm pissed but now I get to buy the new gen that has the interface built in.

They really need to make these things bluetooth so there isn't a need to wire the ipod to the unit.
