    '65 Mustang - Stereo Install Ideas

    That's essentially what people do when they do custom consoles. I've seen installs where people did custom center sections just for the stereos. The problem with that is that it creates a problem if you are like me and want AC in the car.

    '65 Mustang - Stereo Install Ideas

    By running a wire (probably a ribbon cable like we used to use on computer hard drives) and soldering it. The hard part is just mounting the faceplate. That'll be completely dependent upon the face plate.

    '65 Mustang - Stereo Install Ideas

    I'm planning to mount a radio behind the dash and then mount the face place when the radio normally goes, wired directly to the head unit.

    Custom AutoSound USA66

    You can mount the unit anywhere and mount the faceplate on the dash...or build a custom console...or the glove compartment...

    Sweet. Thanks dude!

    This is actually what I really want to do. But the head unit I want (Alpine IDA-X305SBT) is kind of weird. From what I can see, only half the faceplate is detachable? Apparently the right hand side is static. What I love about the unit is that it will interface with Pandora on my iPhone -...

    Tempting - but pretty pricey for the extra work required to get it placed in there. For the same amount of work, I can do the aforementioned Alpine unit and get most of the same features. Less money too I think.

    Car wont cut off with Key

    Easiest is to cut the wire :-) Best would be... pull the coil wire off. Be careful though - easy way to get shocked there.

    USA-630 or some engineering...

    Because that won't give me *ANY* of the features I want. Turns out neither will the USA630, BTW. I'm probably going to go with the Alpine IDA-X305SBT. If I had the time (I'm about to start API and subsequently, flight school so I don't) I would just engineer my own. There are simply no...

    May I ask why you didn't install?

    Sure it will...for about 5ms before the amp circuitry blows.

    USA-630 or some engineering...

    By MP3 port, I'm guessing you mean an aux input - something I am specifically avoiding by ruling out the Retrosound radios. I want to be able to control my ipod fromt he dash. I'd seen a couple places that does this before, but it's not really for me since it doesn't have my features.

    I'm thinking I find a way to put it right on the dash. I want no one to be the wiser that i didn't cut the dash.

    It's been done before...I saw pictures from a site linked on here.

    USA-630 or some engineering...

    iskwezm: the soldering doesnt phase me. How do you suggest I mount the faceplate though?I was thing a [iece of ABS and some short shaft screws... My problem with Retrosound is that I would have to plug my iPod into an aux jack and control it directly - total no go for me. I want to be able...

    USA-630 or some engineering...

    I am almost done with my '66 (done as in, I can drive it ont he regular if not every day.) So It has a USA-6 that the previous owner put in it. I hate it. Unfortunately, I really don't want to cut the dash. The consensus a long time ago was that Custom Auto Sound radios sucked and my...

    Not Starting - carb?

    This is new since installing the carb. I haven't tried starting fluid yet. I have flipped the distrbutor 180 degrees to no avail.

    Okay, I've tried the distributor and the accel pump is working.
