Subject: Some audio installation questions

I just took delivery on a CD changer, and I of course immediately ran
out the the parking garage to start thinking about installing it.

The little plastic "button" things on the carpet: are they some sort of
pop-off anchor?  I didn't yank real hard.

There's a, uhh, thing mounted behind the passenger-side seat under the
carpet (on my '96 w/leather package, anyway).  The best description I
can give is that it looks like a half-height 5.25" hard disk.  What is
it (or do I have a couple hundred megs available that I didn't even 
know about)?

The changer has an FM option (in fact, it seems like that's the *only*
interface option, which is probably OK for me) that involves a scheme
to stick the little modulator unit in-line in the cable to the antenna.
There are connectors that have that "I'm a standard connector" look to
them; does anybody know what the antenna connection looks like at the
back of the head unit?

Anyway, whatever I find out, I'll be happy to summarize here (I'll even
do HTML for the web site; if I drink *way* too much coffee sometime I
might even do diagrams!).
