Haha, you have a lot to learn about iPod then young grasshopper. You just have to add your music files to iTunes, then update your iPod through iTunes. If you can figure out how to work on cars, you'll have no problem working iTunes and iPods.

Then you can kiss the CDs goodbye. Life is much easier without changing CDs in your car.

Oh Tom ole buddy all those wonderful MP3 files will have to be converted to AC3 files and loaded into iTunes, oh joy and takes time-e-e-e-e but its cool once you have your library established. You can do a lot with the iPod.

The Pioneer sounds great also, should be nice, especially with the rear cam. I'm more purist in the sense I like the stock radio, but I'm bland, dull or boring whatever best chooses my description lol

Knock em dead Tom at the show, you have a great auto and it should show well!

Take pics! I think Leo's eyeballing the D3.

Pretty sure you'll still need the $2 voltage regulator, unless your swapping in an entire system.

Why would you need to convert the files? I have burned several CDs on iTunes with MP3 files. A good portion of my library on iTunes are MP3 files.

Old farts and their stock radios.

Thanks for the pics and vid Bill I saved them all to my pc. Hope you and Chris had a good time. It was a good time although a bit to long of a show.

After having Bill give his 2cents on the hood stripe I'm keeping it. Only thing I'm not sold on is the black out panel. I'll leave it on for a while and see if it grows on me.

GMS A-arm support got here today and the relo brackets should be here tomorrow. SHR bezel not till Wednesday.

You do that, that would be really cool. I had one of those Craig's and I still have the 8 tracks around someplace ha

I guess I'll stay with the Stock = old fart label/classification

No problem there...... I have a complete 700wrms system now with custom Eclipse components in the doors and rear deck, MTX amps, and 12" Rockford subs. I have an Eclipse deck now that I LOVE and have had ZERO problems with since I bought it in 1998 but, none-the-less, the CD player in my '92 GT is going out so I plan to put the Eclipse in their, and upgrade my '06 to the Pioneer. I really really wanted a new Eclipse nav unit, but man the Pioneer smokes it on features. The AVIC D3 is pretty dang sweet!

That's the same thing I'm getting for the '89 that I was telling Bill about, except for that car it's called a K-Member brace, but it basically supports the lower control arms while cornering and keeps the K-Member from flexing:

2-Point K-Member Brace

I'll e/m you some hi-res pics of your car today. The pics off the Bucket are not full size.

We had a good time in SD. Chris got bored at the end, but then again if I were 12, playing 360 would be 1000% than looking at cars all day!

I'm still thinking about getting the A-arm support too. Do I need one? Probably not. Then again, I can think of a whole heap of things I don't really need that I have.

Last 8-track I listened to was Candy-O from the Cars.

Jed's got the Eclipse unit.

LOL! Doesn't really matter, they're all good and smoke the Skipper 500/1000.

The more I'm reading about them, the more I'm finding that they are needed.

Leo and I can tell you how it affects ride quality - if at all.

Looking forward to the feedback. On Leo's, it's probably more needed since he removed his sway bar.

The swaybar provides no support to keep the A-arms from flexing, it only helps keep the body from swaying.

I'll provide general feedback, but since his will be specific to 2005+ Mustangs, I may get one, too, if his feedback is positive.
