    how many miles are on your 99-04?

    My 2002 GT that I bought new, has about 24,000 miles on it, now. I bought a new battery and new tires, because of age. Great car!

    XM Radio, Where to mount antenna???

    I bought that system over 3 years ago and relocated it from my old car when I bought my Mustang. The new systems come with the antenna and the new antannas are much smaller. The new systems also cost much less. You can get them at Best Buy, Circuit City, Crutchfields, or your local stereo...

    XM Radio, Where to mount antenna???

    Well, the roof is the best place, but you can get good reception on the rear deck, also. Here's my installation: http://www.geocities.com/rich35242/Mustang_GT.html Some more info inside locations: http://www.geocities.com/rich35242/WindowSlope.html You could also mount a magnetic...

    Motor Trend Cover Story

    I just got my Nov. issue in the mail, today. http://www.motortrend.com/toc/thismonth/ "The 2005 GT is quicker than all but the current supercharged Cobra, and even so, only by a 0.2-0.3 second margin. With a 5.1 second run to 60 mph........" That was with an auto-trans, they think sub...

    Guys with XM

    Here's a link to my installation. I have my antenna mounted inside on the rear deck. It works good for me. If you get an antenna with a magnetic mount, then try it far back, on the rear speaker grill. I have it mounted like that on my STS, pictures also on my web site. It won't work inside...

    Question about "Sirius-ready" Mach 460

    This site below has Sirius tuners for a direct connection to the '04 Ford Radios. The XM Commander with a direct connection is comming soon for the '04 Fords. Your stock radio will control the satellite tunner on the '04, so you do not need a seperate controller for the satellite tuner. You...

    Mach 460 HU Removal, RCA Input?

    In some model years you can get a direct RCA input to your Mach 460 with a PIE adapter cable. I installed it in my 2002 Mustang and it works great. You just press the CD button on the Mach 460 to "toggle" between the CD player and your 2nd input device. I used it with my XM radio tuner, but...

    2004 Mach 460 Aux Inputs

    I guess we'll have to wait until it comes out, to be sure. This link says it will work with all Ford radios that are satellite radio ready. The BMW XM tuners work with BMW's with changers. http://www.radiosandmore.com/satelliteradio.asp?whichpage=1

    2004 Mach 460 Aux Inputs

    Although Ford is set up for Sirius, you can get a direct XM input and display on your 04 Mach 460 with this XM tuner. It's on pre-order, not in stock yet. http://www.radiosandmore.com/prod_detail.asp?pn=RVR-D-001-FRD100

    do u all use one or two license plates?

    Does this count as two? One night last summer I parked my STS in the drive way. When I looked into the garage window at my Mustang, this is what I saw. What the....? It took a few seconds to figure out what was happening.

    Magnetic XM Antenna

    If your doing your own installation, you could try a few locations and then hide the wires after you are satisfied with the signal quality. Inside on the rear deck should work in Florida unless you have tinted windows. You could try outside, next to the trunk deck, on the passenger side if...

    Auxilury input on Mach 460 HU??

    I bought the IP-BUS adapter for $30. I used to live in Woodridge Center, but I got tired of the winters. I tested my mini-disc in my Mustang yesterday. It worked fine with the PIE and an inline volume control to limit the output.

    Auxilury input on Mach 460 HU??

    I used the PIE connector with my XM, but it should work with an iPod, mini-disc, portable mp3 player or other inputs. Here's the link to my installation: http://www.geocities.com/rich35242/Mustang_GT.html You can toggle between the CD player and PIE input (XM for me) by pressing the CD...

    XM Radio

    Here's another link that I ran as a test, but you can have multiple inputs (not just XM) with this "A-B" switch (Radio Shack) set-up and the PIE adapter. Just hide the wires for a real installation. http://www.geocities.com/rich35242/Pioneer-vs-SKYFi.html

    Nice job on the GT500! The scoop looks much better than the rear side window.

    XM Radio

    I put my antenna inside on the rear deck, but that may not work too good in PA because of the lower satellite angle. I also used a PIE cable for a direct connection to my 2002's Mach 460 radio. It sounds great! Much better than the FM mod. I don't know if PIE or Blitzsafe makes an adapter...

    02 Mach 460...MP3???

    I've got an '02 with the Mach 460, also. I added XM to it, but you could add a MP3 player such as the iPod or RIO with a direct connection to your radio by using a PIE input cable. This cable will allow you to press the CD button to toggle between the CD and a second input device. The PIE...

    Looking for a mobile MP3 player to use in car...

    You can get a mini-stereo to RCA cable. It should work fine. I like this right angle plug. http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F002%5F001%5F002%5F000&product%5Fid=42%2D2483 You could also mount the cradle in the car. The RIO looks good...
