Default Where to install VaisTech ML+?

I just got the VaisTech ML+ for my 06 is250. The ML+ unit is pretty large and I'm wondering where should I put the unit? When I installed the SL2ic, I put it in the center console area, but the ML+ seems too large for that, and it seems too large to fit behind the navi unit. I don't want to put it in the glove box. Please help.

Did you take apart panels or is it out in the open?

How do you remove the panel? I tried earlier today and was afraid of breaking it. Do you just pull it off? This is the bottom-most panel under the glove compartment, right?

Can't find how to unscrew the panel. Might need to take it in to Best Buy.

I put mine on the floor, under the carpet, where your passenger's feet would be. It's high up though so it doesn't get kicked or stepped on.

Do you have the luxury package or Mark Levinson? I seem to have some extra electronics in that area that takes up all the room.

I'm going to return it for a refund. User interface was not that great, and I need Pandora support.
