That's ok, thanks. I waited too long to start researching. I did find numerous posts eventually but most were seven years old and I thought that there may have been some technological changes during that time. I just didn't want it stick it to the top of the car. The way it is now, I hardly even notice it's there.


I really had most of my struggles with the color of the radio, silver versus black. I ordered the black and then thought it wouldn't look right. Read too many posts from folk's regarding silver vs. black and finally the morning of my installation returned it and was going to order the Clarion marine radio in silver. I got home and my wife told me I was crazy (not the first time that's happened) and after thinking it over - again- I went back to the store and "bought back" the radio I just returned an hour ago. It's not carried in the store so fortunately they found it in the back. By this time they probably thought I was crazy too. I rescheduled the install for that afternoon, got it in and love it. I knew that whatever decision I made I was going to have to live with it for a long time but anyway, it all worked out. At least now I'm not driving down the road with some satellite dish attached to the roof!
