OK,
Here's what I can piece together. Hey, you guys aren't offending me. This is nothing like a sports board. You want offended? Go to almost any college BB discussion board.
Anyway.
Someone said here or on another thread that the key codes aren't a problem. What I have is a manual error in the factory service manual. I can go with that.
About power.
I don't think I have premium sound. I'll have to check again, because it *is* an SVT, and I thought that there were no options besides sunroof/no sunroof, tape/CD.
The factory tape unit I have has an onboard amp. The CD player I bought does not. So right now I have a problem. What I'll do is if I don't have "premium sound", I'll contact the guy I bought it from and see if he would throw me the amp for a dime or so. I seem to recall that he was replacing his whole system. If not, I'll sell it and get an aftermarket unit that has the same form factor but has a lo-power amp onboard. I could also buy an amp, but someone said the connectors were not plug and play. As I was advised, I may just want to unload my stock units on ebay and get an aftermarket unit.
Strange that the factory CD and tape players have different power outputs. Real strange.
