Like this: Http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?g=225250&i=113RC100MR&tp=1776 More marine radios and different sorts of remotes, both wired and not: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Product/Category.aspx?c=20&tp=419You could also just get a normal radio and put it where you like, but make sure it has a radio frequency remote (and not an infrared remote). then just use the remote, although you would be guessing at the station or other info, unless you opened the glove box to see it, or wherever you hid it.

My '63 EH Holden Roadster had no visible stereo unit when I first got it.
The CD Player was hidden under the speaker grille in the dash and the speakers were boxed marine units hidden under the seats!
The speaker grill had a couple of threaded posts with speedy nuts securing it to the dash.
The speedy nuts were removed so that it could be lifted at any time for access to the head unit then lowered to hide the whole set-up.
I ended up fitting speakers to the kick panels etc, as an open top vehicle soon drowned out the poor little marine speakers un-der the seats!
It does spin people out at car shows though, they see the speakers but can't find the head unit.They all say....in the glovebox, under the seat, in the boot etc.
No-one thinks of lifting the speaker grille on the dash!

I needed my old round original heater for my truck. Instead I mounted my radio in my glove box and still had room for keeping things in it. Instead of using the old cardboard box I just made a metal one.
