55 Fargo Posted June 12, 2008 Report Posted June 12, 2008 Very clever idea Norm,I am thinking about installing an AM/FM Deck, haven't decided where I will install this, thinking about under the glove box, but like you I don't like extra doodads hanginging about. I will need to run this radio with a small 12 volt lawn tractor battery,unless I buy an original type radio frrom a friend, i don't even have a radio to fill the spot for the radio in the dash yet, need to get that soon..........Fred PS my ebrake lights the drivers side underdash light, when you pull it, it even flashes as it is hooked up to the signal flasher as to factory spec.......

busycoupe Posted June 14, 2008 Report Posted June 14, 2008 Rockwood, I put a Sony Radio CD deck in my D24 last summer. I used a power converter to change 6V pos. ground to 12V neg. ground. No need for a 12V batt. It works great, but doesn't have enough "oomph" to drive an optional amp or large speakers. I also use a powered antenna about 3 inches long that sticks to the windshield behind the mirror. Also got a dual cone speaker that mounts in the original dash opening. Converter, antenna and speaker came from this site: http://www.soundmove.com/accessories.htm I was very happy with the service. Power converter was only $69.95. Quote
