Do you guys remove your car stereo face plate when you park the car somewhere, or just leave it on at all times?

 

haha at the end I always used to leave mine on.



At first i took it off all the time, then it got annoying carrying around a black box with a useless faceplate.



If I was leaving it for a length of time I'd generally take it off hide it inside my house or glovebox depending on the area.

 

I generally dont unless I am parking it for more than 2 days. If I am just parking someone for a few hours or anything I wont take it out. Its just a hassle to do every time. I like to get in, open my sunroof and turn on my tunes and go.

 

I have an old school Kenwood that hides when it's off. No faceplate.

 

I take it out. I was taking it out and keeping it in the glovebox, but when my car was broken into they found it so they still tore my dash apart, so now it always goes inside the house or into any other place with me.

 

Unless its me stepping into a 7 11 or somethin of that sort I pull it. Putting it in the glove box does no good, thats the first freakin spot they look. When my car window got busted out the glove box contents were all over the floor and cd's missing. 6 months later they took my moms deck and got the faceplate out of the glove box. Putting you face plate in the glove box is the worst move you can do next to just leaving it in plain sight.

 

I'd stash mine under the seat so if you touched it you'd knock it down farther under the seat without really noticing. When I was living in the low-dolla side of town. Now I live & work in relatively pilfery-free places so I just leave it on.



edit: but then again, the radio doesn't have laser rocketships all over the faceplate, it just looks like a regular radio.

 

I always take it off. Already had one radio stolen: an old Blaupunkt with a keycard from the prelude. The keycard was not even in the radio and the radio from 1992 I think. They could not open the locks, so they smashed a window after they had damaged the locks It was a lot of damage for something that ain't worth anything.
