Anyone know whose wagon this is?

Found it for sale listed as in Miami, FL. Has the nicest roll pan treatment I have seen. Would like to know where the pan is from.

Richard which car are you interested in?
Jim

That looks SWEET.

I wonder what that radio is. An aftermarket that looks factory. I like that a lot.

X2 on the radio, any one have any idea?

Mike

I referenced the wrong ad for the wagon in the photos and am trying to locate the original ad but...oh Lordy...take a look at this for $3K! Note the T-56 setup.

I wish I could take a look at this car. It has to be worth the price for the parts alone.

HERE is the link to the one in the photo link in my first post. It says North Ft Myers, FL. So many wagons, so little money!!!

Anybody figure out what radio that is?? I want that in mine. Sharp!!

The Radio ...


I'd have suggested contacting the person through the online ad but it is no longer available. Perhaps you can contact through the photo album if that is still up.What is so special about the radio?

It's the proper 1.5 DIN size and appears to have some modern features (notice the button with the talking head on it - bluetooth?)

Still looks better than most aftermarket units. lol

Isn't that a double DIN unit?

Looks like 1.5din. If its really that pressing I can go measure the one in the Town and Country at work.

That said, it looks like a very neat deck. Wonder what it takes to get one in...

Edit, that blows. It has satellite but for Sirius. I has XM.

Satellite, pfft. No care about that.

Who out there wants to make me a harness?
Jim

I would be interested to see if it fits and what it would take for it to fit . would love to have the satellite in the wagon !

Thanks for the info Justin.

No problem. I spend enough time in the T&C that I've grown to know that radio like the back of my hand

That also said, its not a very bad unit. Button layout is good, display is nice for a stock unit and sound quality is good as well, thou that may have more to do with the speakers.

Is that a single CD or a dash changer? If it's got a built-in changer option, I'm really interested. Think that was an option on the Chrysler vans.

Love the stock look much better than aftermarket.

Who's going to build a harness....come on folks!

The one in the wagon ad was the single disc. The Ebay link Sting posted was also for the single disc version.

Look at this:

Our '03 Burb has the factory 5-CD in dash changer. Looks like the above is a 6-disk. Would LOVE that in my wagon.

Again, what electrical brain on here is going to build us a harness??????

-Mike

No AUX input on the 6-disc. I assume by MP3 it means MP3s burned to a disc?

That or MP3 via the Aux jack.

There's no AUX jack on the "6 DISC - MP3" unit.

I'm aware. However, the single disc-the one we were initially discussing DOES.

I saw; I was wondering about the 6 disc. Then I read the rest of the e-Bay listing and got the answer

Got to admit that this radio looks damn good and blends well with our climate control.Sure has
all the modern features I would like to have in my wagons!
Jim

I for one would love to upgrade the radio in my car. I already put the Monsoon in from a 2000 Buick regal and used an Alpine inline amp to emulate the Monsoon amp. It's good but there is no AUX input and frankly it's still just a standard radio with slightly better components.

The whole reason I went back to a GM radio is that the climate control dimmer is based in the factory GM radio. Has anyone come up with a way to emulate this? If so I would be very interested in this project. There are ton's of options some maybe even better than this Chrysler radio. I know it does not matter to the caprice owners but the climate control at full brightness on a dark highway at night is very annoying.

Or does the Chrysler radio have the same functionality and we could somehow use that.

I would love to do the factory radio look . It keeps the window breakers away and my glass in tack ! So if some one makes a harness I would buy one . It does not hurt that I could move my sat radio over to the wagon for those long trips !

That is a pretty sweet roll pan. Did you get it figured out? I see the discussion turned quickly to the radio and didn't come back. It must be something from a pickup to look that "tough" from behind.

Update on the Chrysler radio install into our cars. It's not going well, got the radio, got the harness... Doesn't work. This radio needs the Chrysler BCM to turn on. This radio uses some thing called CANBUS, so it's a bit more involved than I thought, and I can't find anyone that has figured it out o give me any info. I have feelers out there to a few people, so we'll see. I'll update in the Audio/video section if there are any updates.

Mike

What radio are you trying? I have all the parts to rig up a 1999-ish Chrysler RAZ CD/cassette combo, just haven't put it together yet. It works fine hooked up to a 12V power supply on my dining room table, so I think it will work in the car.

This one , 2005 and up, though the '05 and '06 may be the better ones to use. Still trying to figure that out.


Mike

Mike,that radio wont work with those wheels HINT HINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
