    Winter Projects? Who's Doing What?

    Well I just got back from the shop. Did plugs and coils. Need a cat in the near future. Other than that maintenance, I love the look of the angel eyes. Not sure I have the plums or the ability to install them though. Something simple (hopefully) I want to do is get rid of the chrome...

    Gen2 Stereo Upgrade questions

    I just went through this and installed a cheap 2 din unit into my 05 LS. I had the same factory setup (CD/Cass). I used the exact same metra dash piece and I can confirm that everything is plastic. Depending on where the mounting holes are in your new head unit, you can re-use the sturdy...

    Aftermarket Stereo Install Help!!

    Ill have to look at colours tomorrow. But my friend who installed it plugged the 2 RCA from the harness into the deck. Which obviously was causing problems. So from what I can see now, is it was plugged into itself (?) which was causing the problems. Kind of embarrassed but I'm glad it was...

    Aftermarket Stereo Install Help!!

    I did nothing for the time being. Do all LSs have a sub and amp? I kind of thought maybe I didn't have one. It sounds fine.

    Aftermarket Stereo Install Help!!

    Got the new battery in. Did not solve my initial problem. Took the new HU out and tried starting car with nothing hooked up. Ran fine, no lights. Hooked just the harness up to test, worked fine. Hooked new radio up, worked fine. But as soon as I hooked up the sub RCAs, all the lights came on and...

    Aftermarket Stereo Install Help!!

    Ok got the correct battery from NAPA today and will put it in as soon as I get home to see what is going on. Another quick question. On the back of my factory cd/cassette, there were 3 different plugs. 1 big one (24 pin?) that matched the wiring harness, 1 smaller (8 pin?) that hooked...

    Aftermarket Stereo Install Help!!

    Battery took a charge, but failed. Trying to find a replacement. Update - I can't find a replacement today at any of the stores that are open. It's looking like I'll have to hit up the Ford dealer tomorrow if Napa doesn't carry it. Thanks for the help guys and I will post more tomorrow once...

    Aftermarket Stereo Install Help!!

    So the test they did, was useless? Good to know. I'll ask specifically about a load test and see what they say. Unfortunately, Canadian Tire is the only place open today.
