    Default Driving without music...

    Sucks.

    I finally got the headunit in my car. Nice little kenwood unit, cheap aftermarket speakers, factory "sub"... life is great.

    Total amount spent: $8.00

    Having a radio that doesn't work SUCKS. It's like taunting you everytime you get in the car. lol

    Look on craigslist, there should be some cheap ones up there. Wal-mart sells the adaptor connectors for $8

    That sucks that you didn't have music. I usually have my Iphone plugged into my Pioneer head unit. Sometimes I don't really have music going like if someone is riding with me and telling me where to go or I'm having a discussion.

    There's a relay with a 10mm bolt on it under the dash, pull that, and soak it in rubbing alcohol. Once you do that, dry it with a hair dryer. The closer the hair dryer is, the faster it'll dry. Reinstall and VOILA! Radio.

    Sounds like a set up. But my antenna doesn't go up at all and it used to and it needs to for my radio to work.

    Fine. Test the power wire at the antenna to see if it's getting power. If not, check to make sure the radio is putting out signal.

    I actually prefer driving without music sometimes. helps me concentrate. I can hear the rattles and squeaks of my axles and shocks lol. but if I were on the road for 1hr+ in silence, I would probably be bored out of my mind

    I ended up getting some PC Speakers, plugging them into a power inverter and then running my Walkman through it.

    Yea...that's a Pimp My Ride special right there.
