I had the dealer install the Mazda 6CD changer when I took
delivery of the car.  It is probably 3"x7"x12", mounted sideways
near the trunk latch.  When I eject the CD magazine, it pops out
towards the driver side.  I've been totally happy with the unit,
it only skips when I drive over a big enough bump that my
heart skips too.  There is a remote control+wire that runs to the
cabin and I stash it in the glove slot below the stereo.

I can't put big hard luggage in the trunk, but so what?  That's
what soft luggage and duffel bags are for.  I never had a problem
with 2 day and 3 day 2 person road trips.
