Folks, I am installing a factory overhead DVD player in my 03 Aviator. Does anyone out there have any pictures, threads, etc that show the headliner removal? I wanted to see what I was getting into before I scheduled time to do this.

I couldn't think of a better place to ask this question... We have an 01 V8 Sport. Those weren't available with the factory subwoofer. We finally located a factory subwoofer assy and bolted it in...and much to our surprise, the factory wiring was all in place. A little adapting here and...

Let me start by saying this is an 01 LS8 Sport that was rearended while stopped at a light. About 5 grand worth of damage to the rear, no structural damage whatsoever. Very slight damage to the front end when it was pushed into the car in front. Basically cosmetic damage to the bumper and a...

I got this Nav unit installed last weekend. I had to capture the VSS signal prior to the ECM, but other than that, it was a straight forward install that turned out very nice. But I do have a question. I wasn't able to find a place to capture the signal for when the car is put in reverse...

Ok...I'm installing a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 into an 01 LS8 Sport with Alpine CD-6. My wiring diagrams just flat suck to say the least. Especially the connector diagrams. My questions... They show a center speaker amp. Is this to control the two console speakers only? I would assume you lose...

I'm installing a double din Nav system in our 01 LS. I have a couple of old face plates I can use to trim and fit the screen, but they aren't going to give the fit I'm looking for. What I want to try is the bezel that comes on the factory Nav cars (03 and up?) that's silver and paint it. Is...

My son put some ceramic pads on his and is very pleased with them.

Saturday, my son rolls up the right front window and when it hits the top, he gets the dreaded "crash, bang, tinkle tinkle tinkle" and the window will no longer move. At least it was up!! I pulled the door panel off Sunday and sure enough, one of the plastic cable guides/rollers is sitting at...

I needed a new car and I got talked into trying an 06 Acura TL. (my son still has my LS) I've had it a couple of weeks now and I wanted to post my thoughts on the two cars. I seriously considered a new LS, but I have never owned a car by any manufacturer other than the Big 3 and let myself...

I just installed a Pioneer AVIC-Z1 into my wife's Aviator. I posted a thread in the Aviator section: http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=23386 I would highly recommend this unit in your LS if you are looking for something like this. It's one heck of a unit. The install on...

I finally bit the bullet. After spending months trying to find a reasonable way to install a factory navigation system in my wife's Aviator, I decided it wasn't feasible and sprung for a Pioneer AVIC-Z1. Am I ever glad I did. This is one very, very nice unit and has features the factory unit...

I have an 01 LS8 Sport with about 50K on the clock. About a year ago, I had a brand new set of Michelins put on it at one of the local Lincoln dealers. It was the exact same 17 inch tire that came OE with the car. Well, 10 tires later...that's correct...10 TIRES!, I still can't get rid of a...

...then take a look at this. I have been following this project since the start, and it's nearly completed. It's one of the most amazing projects I have ever seen. The attention to detail is absolutely amazing. Grab a cup of coffee or a couple of beers and sit back and read. It's worth the...

Is it just me or does anyone else have the same concerns? With the demise of the Mark III and the LS, Lincoln seems to be moving further and further away from a performance perspective in their line up. Even the Aviator came with over 300 hp and a 32v engine and was a decent performer on the...

Is there any way to reprogram the trans on the earlier model SST's so that you can shift it into 1st gear manually? In other words...you don't have to have it in 2nd at a light and stab the throttle fairly hard to get it into 1st. Anyone know of anything?

I have a 2001 LS that I would like to buy an old factory radio for. I actually would prefer it didn't work. (cheaper) What I am going to do is take the face plate off of it and cut it to fit an aftermarket NAV unit like was done by someone else here. If anyone has one for sale, please let me...

Hey guys! I'm looking to install a Pioneer AVIC-D1 Naviagation unit (or similar) http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_3151_218219118,00.html in a 01 LS8 Sport. But Ill be damned if I can find a bezel anywhere that will make this head unit an attractive...

I posted this comment on another thread, but thought I would put it here and see if anyone has any information: I have a question...has anyone tried converting the hydraulic fan on the earlier models to an electric from the 03 and up models? I wonder what would be involved. I would think you...

In another thread, I had asked about replacing the injector harness connector on my car since most of them had broken when I replaced the injectors. The retaining clip breaks at the hinge. No one knew of a fix...but I think I may have found one. Motorcraft makes a harness repair kit. It's...

My son has his in laws in town for several days looking for a house to buy, so he traded me his LS (my old 01 LS8 Sport) for my wife's Aviator so he could haul them all around. I also had to fix a hard starting problem with it. Anyway, after driving it for the weekend, I remembered what I...
