Awesome.
I just don't like the change thing... or how it blocks the cigarette lighter/ashtray when open. Oh well, it's not like I use either of them. hahahah

Hey Polarican I have a question about that HU...I saw that exact same one for sale at a local swapmeet for like $200 (used of course)....is that a good price? I didnt get the model # so I cant really look it up....it seems high to me to be spending on anything used.....thanks....

Model number is 3DA-W882... It's an Alpine 3 disc in dash unit...

$200 is a pretty good price, especially considering it originally sold as high as $1500 when it first came out...

My only complaint is it skips a bit over bumps (a little too sensitive for my taste) and while it plays burned music, it takes a long time to pick up where it left off in the middle of a song after powering it back on...

Other than that, it is packed full of features... The face tilts down to play cassettes which is cool. I rarely get a chance to listen to my old Metallica and Rush cassettes...

I was tempted to do this mod on my 90LS ...until I came across a single-DIN OEM cd player ....put that in instead. However, while I was in the process, I did modify the Taurus cup holder a bit ... I sawed-off those rails that protrude out the back (just made them flush with the back of the main unit) ....doesn't affect the operation, and provides more clearance at the back. I have that unit ...if anyone wants to make a reasonable offer, PM me.
