Made some sweet junkyard upgrades ($6 roof antenna)

[Onizuka]

On my latest trip the the ol' junk yard I snagged a fresh s13 steering wheel, hatchback trunk cover and a roof antenna off a VW golf. Best 20 bucks I've spent all week.

Trunk cover slipped right in, cuts down a little on road noise and hides all the booty in my trunk.


I searched a bunch of cars looking for the right antenna, this one came off one of those 90's squarish golf hatchbacks. Only had to enlarge the hatch sprayer nozzle hole a little bit and, voila! A little solder to splice it to the stock antenna cable and I get crystal clear radio coming in my new HD and satellite stereo head.


The car came from the factory in '88 with a leather stitched wheel that was recently losing its luster, so I replaced it with a this acrylic one off a 1990 hatch. Previous wheel left my hands feeling dirty from small leather particles, this one feels brand-spanking-new.


$20 and I get to love my car even more, good deal. Now if only I could catch an unplundered s14 to get some better seats...

Yeah its pretty nice, I've been driving without a radio for like 2 years because I'm so damn lazy, its nice having some tunes for a change. still haven't installed the back two speakers. whatever..

confused9 are you using a usb for the radio?

[420sxWETDREAMS]

onizuka I like the antenna idea very original

[Onizuka]

confused9 are you using a usb for the radio?

I guess I can answer because I have the same head unit: Yes, there is a USB slot so you can play mp3's off a jump drive. HD radio, satellite, usb, cd, audio jack... it can pretty much play anything.

[confused9]

yea i am. i like using a usb more than AUX cuz it charges while you play it. the thing in the picture though is a small usb device but yea it's awesome lol

yea me too i just recently got mine cuz i was tired of having no radio. i don't have the rear speakers either but i'm not driving anyone around so i don't mind.

I've been looking to do the same thing I have two usb devices and have been looking for a good head unit. Great job guys

[confused9]

definitely it's way easier and they're like 100 or so for a decent one.
