This forum is really dead as far as car stereo work.. and anothe rfoum I found is dead too. I suppose no one talks about it until every few years when they have to work on a stereo. Then they pop in to see what's new. This putting in a new wiring harness/connector each time blows. maybe with higher end car stereos they have better plugs/connectors, but for your average am/fm/cd player, it's just the drag of cutting and solderinng each time. You would think the same model maker would have stayed witht the same connectors. Blauplunkt, they only reason I bought the same make again, was because i wa shoping they would use the same connector, but they didn't. After a few year sthey chaged again. Plus they made the metal case cheaper. It no longer has bolt holes int he sides for the metal pieces that hold it in place, it looks like it relies ona rear metal strap, which really sucks because it's close to impossible to hook up the rear metal strap.
What a huge pain in the ass! Bluaplunkt sucks! My wife likes the sound at least.
BTW, after 1 week the cdRom reader stopped reading CDRoms, I had to return it for exchange. Blauplunkt is garbage now. I remember when it was a status symbol. now it's POS!
hasn't been long enough to get the new one back yet... willl inform..
