Re: My double din install adventure
Well after spending 1/2 the day digging thru boxes of stuff I wasnt able to find the extra wiring harness plugs george (stepdad - I always called him george so from now on Im going to refer to him as this from now on since stepdad doesnt feel right - more dad than anything) had stored up. Right before he died a tree feel on the garage and flattened out the storage cabinets in the garage that had most of his crossfire stuff in them. Well middle to small crossfire items.
Still havent found the factory radio which I know was in there somewhere for instance. Anyways the harness that the alpine radio he had switched out to doesnt have the rca jacks on it. Its wired to the alpines speaker wires. Since the radio I bought for it has 4v preouts I figured it would be best to use those so I ordered the correct harness plug which will get here monday. I may get a wild hair and mess around with the harness thats used on the alpine this weekend some but I doubt it.
The new shifter plate is in with the cigarette lighter installed in it. The combo switch bank it installed in its new panel and installed on the car. So all thats lacking is the radio mounting, gps antenna above the a/c ducts and and double din faceplate mounted and the gear shifter handle pressed back on.
Almost looks normal again.
