I've been told NO, car CD players are not meant to play sideways. The
other reply is correct that the area isn't deep enough unless you fabricate
something to push the head unit forward, and on a 2000 it'd probably be too
close to the shifter.
Matt Silvey built a cool under the glovebox mounting bracket which I have
on my '70 1600. The only thing I would change would be to get a remote
control head unit so I don't have to reach over so far to change channels.
