It is fiber optic and you don't need to remove the glove box to get it in. The three conductor power harnees is behind the radio to the left of the glove box. The trick is getting the ac vent out so you can remove the trim panel around the radio to get the radio out. This will allow the connection of the fiber optics to the radio and the access to the power. When you get your cd changer there is a special bracket that allows easy mounting in the glove box.
