very nice most definately, but it would be nicer if you showed us some pics of the radio in the car

its under repair, as soon as it is working, definetely.....

Well, after a few weeks of waiting to get my cd repaired, im here, ready to show off my new radio. Thanks to everybody (especially lovo). Hope this inspires another soul. Why do this? Well of the advantages,

1. Have 6 original cd inside at a time, (saves time rather than burning into mp3.
2. Stock Look. (im Picky)
3. Im using my original amp (6th generation)
4. I can use a second amp for subs (once i boy a new battery)
5. Using a special adaptor from PIE, I can hook up an IPOD, MP3, or XM radio, and still be OEM
6. More powerful unit, than original.

Well I bought the unit from ebay, it came damaged, but it has been repaired.

One thing i found is be careful with the unit year, for a perfect fit it has to be a 2002 or older model, with no sides, meaning the metal flushes with the plastic. Otherwise some serious mods need to be done to the bezel. Also our amp is analog. Newer radios use a digital amp. And then you will have to find the space for the amp. I went for safe, rather than sorry. My next mod to this radio will be blue buttons.

Tools I used.

1. Solder Tool
2. Solder wire
3. Shrink cables.
4. Wiring guide.
5. 1 OEM harness and 1 aftermarket Factory Harness.
6. RCA outputs that are conected to the rear input speaker wires.
7. 6 hours of time to individually solder, shrink, pull my hairs and drink soda.


Tips. Solder all three power antennas, hook the shield ground with ground together. I left the Ilum(-) alone....


well I dont want to bother anyone else, here it is.
