The receiver was installed in the left rear fender well. Cable routing was tedious, and the instructions were incorrect. I mounted the antenna on top of the trunk lid using 3M foam tape. I had previously used the foam tape to mount a switch on an aircraft yoke and it worked well. The switch will soon be for sale as a commercial product; see www.

The trunk lid is fiberglass so the only wire seen is near the hinge where the wire goes into the trunk. Nothing can be seen from the car. The unit came from the ford place in Columbus Ga. I had Mobile Electronics do the work. Jan 3, , AM. Re: Tbird satellite radio kit installation You don't really have to remove the hard top to install the system.
Most of it goes in the trunk all you have to do is run the wires from the radio stack over the steering wheel, down the inside of the left "kick panel" and along the door frame to the back of the car. With the hard top up, it is a little more difficult to run the wires under the top well to the trunk. I used a wire coat hanger to "fish" the wire under the top well without incident. Good luck.

You would need to do this on each slot, sometimes it takes more than one try and remember more than one CD could be stuck in one slot, so keep doing it till you are sure all CD 's are out of each slot.
You just can't get past error. Any information on where to buy another CD player or the whole unit for Thunderbird. Thank you for any and all replies.
Take the good CD player and put it in your radio unit. Take maybe 10 minutes to pull the radio and 20 min to swap it. You may be temped to swap the whole radio but don't, the pin out is different and the woofers wont work.
I'm on my 3rd CD player in K miles" This may be the least expensive way out. Let us know if you do it. Joined Jul 5, Thanks George for that info. My CD player is being a bitch latly. PhilD Click here to upgrade.
