Cellular Suicide posted:Yes, universally. FM modulators are slightly better, such as http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-FM-MOD02-Universal-Modulator-Satellite/dp/B001QBG614. Still not great, and requires enough work that you may be better off just upgrading to a new head unit with Aux in/USB/Bluetooth. Yeah, for that price and amount of work I think i'd spring for this cheap pioneer head unit http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-DEH-1...tereo+head+unit Anyone got a super concise set of directions/supplies I'll need? I build computers and stuff so I'm not afraid of doing it myself but I've never worked on anything electrical on a car before.

Okay so I've got everything but the antennae adapter wired and ready to go, just wanted to make sure the piece that came with the harness with the aux cables and black/blue and white wires is only for if i had a powered amp(which i dont) before I start sticking stuff into the dashboard.

some texas redneck posted:If you're talking about RCA cables, then correct, you only need those for an amp. Did you get the same headunit you linked? I said that confusingly, there were black and white and also blue and white wires. Anyway they were on there own separate connector so I just left that part out completely. Also apparently late model fords don't need an antenna adapter, but holy poo poo is it annoying getting a pair of the hooks for removing the stock radio. None of the auto parts stores in my city sold them, including the specialty car audio store, so I had to go to Best Buy.

If I don't want to expend the time or money on getting all new speakers and a powered sub, but the bassy music i like sounds like garbage on my stock crown vic speakers, would it be worth it at all to toss a pair of $50 speakers in the front? I don't need super loud or audiophile quality but if they could even match my $30 computer speakers at my desk it would be a step up.

My Kenwood head unit was randomly turning off and on sporadically so I pulled it out to redo any shoddy looking wire connections, is there anything else I should look at before I stick it back in?
