Not bad....
but I have XM so I win. |
sooo...i dont pay for radio like u :shifty:
thats wat FM is for but not too pricey cause its free ::p |
Because I dont have to deal with commercials.
|
yeah but you have to deal with crappy stations and crappy songs... i have xm too, but in 2 cars so i guess that means i win except i hate it. got it as a gift with 2 years paid.
|
looks sick nice and umm purple =O
|
it was the flash....its black when no light is on it.....its black and blue screen.....
and i listen to cd's ......im eventually going to hook my ipod up to it once i get it fixed....the touch pad doesnt work but the buttons do.... |

ok..here is a picture of the "professional" wiring of my taurus(picture 1 and 2).....lemme tell ya...when i bought the new wire harnesses....holy crap..i vowed never to take my car to get wired any where ever again....the harnesses i bought pluged right together..no splicing of the wire.....(pic 3 )...i was dissappointed in Best buy.....remember that folks....nvr take to any place like best buy....
edit: that lone blue thing in the second pic was for my subs.... :punk: it was really easy to hookup and install the head unit into a bracket....just gotta be fearless and do it yourself.....next is rear speakers and subs... |
cool...ya im still interested in that deck..im wondering about the wiring too,,,how it works with the Mach system and all. I have no clue what harness to buy..lol :bash:
|
ill pull apart my deck tommorow morning...there are 2 parts u need....one of them is the Metra Vehicle Wiring Harness (80-1771)...the other i forget wat it was...but it was also made my metra......its a gay setup but its well worth it....the only concern is that u have a mach system....i have a non mach so it was a plug and play....just ask a circuit city or best buy rep wat u should do..they have the know it all about htat stuff but they suck at installation....
|
awesome! i always wondered, do u need to buy those plastic "sections" for the deck and below it?

|
what? i dont think ur understanding me...
see how its divided into 2 sections, and theres plastic sperating the two sections, where does that plastic come from? |
that cubby space is one solid plastic unit that holds the cd player in place.
|
its part of the Dash Kit.....Metra Dash Kit
it also fills the hole where the small head unit doesnt cover....its a nice compartment for an ipod |
thats what i wanted to know :)
|
hah...ok...but stangspeed....i highly recomend getting that head unit.....its a nice unit for 200....i know people will say dont get sony..but sony makes really nice products....but make sure it will work cause of the mach system

not the best buy around here... the best buy i went to is FULL of retards! i went to like 9 out of the 10 guys in the car audio department and each one was a retard... they didnt know SHYT... AT ALL!! i can not express enough that they didnt know anything! some of them try and confuse you and get all complicated... but they still dont know anything. finally i talked to the MANAGER of the car audio department and he got my car setup... i replaced the head unit and the door and rear speakers.... the installation went well but only because the HEAD installer did mine... he told me later on that most the guys dont know what there doing... haha! best buy is just retarded overall. :dots: :dots: |
hahah that sux.....one of my buddies works there and knows a hell of a lot so i got everything i needed...and for like free too...hehe...pays ot know people..
but overall im happy w/ my head unit |

yea..thats is an expensive headunit.....pioneer is the Sh!t...but i have a sony...a step down but o well
|
ok im pulling my hair out right about now..my g-friend surprised me with a new deck for christmas..alittle late but what the heck. ok i bought the harness adapter for my car i wired everything together from the unit harness to the factory harness...no freaking sound coming out...wtf? do i have to do somethnig with the amps or what? im lost now... :censored:
|
If you have the Mach 460 or 1000, i think it's a lot harder than that. If it's just the normal headunit, than yea, just hook up them wires
