Radio question.
The radio on my Miata expired some time back and the previous owner agreed to get me a replacement. Who know one that will fit in the space provided? I'd like AM/FM/CD with presets and not real expensive, is there such a critter? I need make and model number please. Thanks! |

click your way to bestbuy.com and check the radios out. They also have a
feature to see if the one you pick will fit in your dash. Tom "XS11E" > wrote in message ... > > The radio on my Miata expired some time back and the previous owner > agreed to get me a replacement.

You might contact Miata electronics guru Jeff Anderson, who may be able to bring it back to life for small change. Poke around on miata.net for Jeff's email address. Or just install a loud muffler and forget about the radio. Works for me. -- Lanny Chambers, St. Louis, USA '94C the alignment page: http://www.hummingbirds.net/alignment.html |

Poke around on > miata.net for Jeff's email address. Neither I nor the previous owner have the critter. His description sounds to me like a 3 minute fix but he didn't, he pulled it and had an plumbing school dropout install a horrible $1,300 kludge that I generously told him he could keep if he'd get me a usable radio, not something off some space craft that he didn't know how to work himself! Installation is going to be fun, plumbing school dropout and now full time radio installer cut wires, broke plastic, bent, prodded, massaged and got the kludge to partially work, he didn't even know the car has headrest speakers and hadn't hooked them up, now he's going to try and install a radio in my car. Wanna bet I'll be watching with an eagle eye? > Or just install a loud muffler and forget about the radio. Works > for me. Not for me, I plan on making a run to California to see my sister in a week or so, I want a radio, the freeway gets very boring... but I'll enjoy highway 74 and 371 from Palm Desert to Aguanga! I hope I run into little traffic, the curves tend to slow the flatland tourists down to 3.7mph on a 45mph road. |

It's not as though you can hear the radio anyway through those bloody ear
plugs. "Lanny Chambers" > wrote in message ... > In article >, > XS11E > wrote: > >> The radio on my Miata expired some time back and the previous owner >> agreed to get me a replacement.

The only people that I have ever been a rider with who did not have a working stereo in their car (that they also used with some regularity) were people who had either had it stolen, had it quit working, or were driving a dedicated track car. In all but the latter case, the person wanted it replaced or fixed. Pat |

It's an absolutely ESSENTIAL thing for me, if I turn the volume up loud enough it drowns out my singing and if you've ever heard me sing you'd know how important that is! As long as I can't hear myself I can think, "Hey, that's pretty good!" <G> |
