AVIC hideaway unit

Hello Everyone,
I am about to the be owner of a new-to-me '02 MCS. I have a AVIC-D3 in my current vehicle and I plan to put an AVIC-N5 in the Mini. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I should mount the hideaway unit? It has to be level and orientated in a specific fashion. I used to have an AVIC-N1 in my VW R32 and finding a place for the unit was a major PITA.

Thanks!
Bryan

It should fit into the glovebox. I also think there is enough room behind the knee panel just to the left of the steering column.

I definitely don't want to put it in the glove box. Is there room on top of the glove box behind the dash? I am really hoping to hear from someone who has done an AVIC install in their mini.
