Random Milano radio wire question

[thesameguy]

$150 at Crutchfield buys you a nice, all-black Sony CDX-GT610ui that slides right in, and has an included ipod adapter. Can't beat that... Plus, the display is legible despite being located on the floor, behind the shifter...



The 410 is much better looking (green illumination to match the car) but doesn't include the ipod adapter. It's available separately, but pushes the price over the 610...

And *zero* dollars buys me a retro-cool official Alfa Romeo tape deck. Can't beat that with a stick.

hi all. i too hate to say this but the reception on mine is perfect. new electric antenna. i think down here the originals were pioneer units so maybe the wiring is different. i did have the sony mp3 in there, but the lighting was crap. now i have another pioneer. its great with big writing to help with the low location and i personally think the blue illumination is good. of course others disagree...haha. i put the pioneer in last week. no yellow wire with the said connector. but my main power cable is yellow. my new head unit had a similar connector for an amp with a yellow wire. is it possible it was modified?
now for my bad news. i gotta rip the dash off to get to the fan. it is vibrating and hitting something and sending out an interesting burning smell.... bent shaft i think...

Also I think it's alot cheaper so. Regards, Instigator

yes that sony fits, similar to what i have. Standard DIN slot and depth, bolts up to the standard radio bracket as well. You will also want 6x4" front and 5-1/4" rear speakers for future reference, and an amp and sub for the full effect.
