where can I find antenna plug adapter for sony car audio?
Badhri n asked:
Ok guys:
I bought a sony Xplod car stereo for my dad overseas. The car audio guy is bugging him for a antenna pin adapter. This is supposedly something that connects the external antenna and the headunit stereo. Does anyone have an idea as to what this might be? The sony site does not have any part listed. Where can I get this?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Could someone give me a basic intro into car audio setup?
dragons_tear_05 asked:
I’m looking at swapping out my car’s factory audio system and starting from scratch- but I have no clue as to what components are needed and how to set them up. What I would like is a crash course in car audio, and suggestions for good speakers, wires etc- I have a little electronics background so I shouldn’t have any problem understanding any wiring/electrical issues. I’d like a more acoustic setup if possible.

Normally, I’d let a professional deal with setting things up, but I’ve been wanting to get into audio systems, and this would be a great start for me. I greatly appreciate any help or instructions.
Does installing a car audio affect my manufacturers warranty?
IZitall asked:
I want to install (not by myself, but have it installed professionally) a new car audio system in my new (used) car with Manufacturer warranty. I have heard in the past that this could be a nightmare if the installer messes up something. I have also heard that it can also affect the other electric components of the car if it is not done properly. My question does this affect my Manufacturer’s warranty??

I have a head unit plus an amp and 12 subwoofer in the trunk, I’d like to be able to tune it using oscilloscope software but not sure what programs may be out there to do the job, and also not sure whether an ordinary PC microphone will be adequate or if I need something better?
