I finally gave up on the idea because you are going to be replacing
all the capacitors before you start. I am using commercial in dash
players now and they all suck, including the $1000 one in the Lincoln.

You spent $1000 to get a music player in your car?

Really?

Gosh, I just use a $10 cable to plug an iPhone or iPod into the car
stereo.

I guess that Vega you have doesn't have a factory sound system with an
MP3 player, 6 pack CD, Nav and blue tooth to your phone.
Take a ride in your wife's car sometime.
A grand is really not much for the entertainment system upgrade on a
nice car.
If I was an Apple guy I would say it was free since it was bundled in
the price of a trim package in the Lincoln but that unit was $900 and
change if you put it in your F150.

Can you talk to your Ipod (and does it listen?). Does it mute and
switch over to the phone on command or when you have an incoming call?
Does it bluetooth to your smart phone so you can listen to web casts?

Hold on for a bit there Gregg. He has to check with AppleCare. :-)

I'm not adverse to getting good quality tech support when I need it. I'm
not, after all, a Luddite.

At least you have a sense of humor, a quality that is becoming somewhat
extinct now-a-days.
