ROFL, about that...

I forgot to order the extension for the radio plug when I ordered the radio, so I technically don't have one ATM...

And my antenna doesn't work, but I'm not so sure it has anything to do with me replacing the radio, as it didnt work with the stock unit either. I actually was thinking it might be cool to replace it with one of those "shark fins" from the newer models. What do you think?

I think it's worth the extra 20 minutes to fix the power antenna...that is if the radio supports it.

Would it be a fuse issue, I'm not really sure how to go about fixing it. Also, as much far as head unit support, I wouldve ***ume that all modern radios support this lol... If not then shame on them

most likely it's a broken antenna mast. $20 and it's fixed...now I wouldn't know what it is without looking

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth, lol, sometimes I actually have to *gasp* work. Hard. The nerve some bosses thinking we are responsible for things... what the world coming to these days?

Anyways, I hadn't forgotten about those pics, but I'm not at home at the moment. Tomorrow morning, I promise to have my pics up showing the hell I went through for a self-installed 2 DIN radio. That works wonders with the stock speakers BTW... I'm actually thinking about leaving these bad boys in a bit longer since it sounds so clear. I just need a 8 incher now.
