I used this to install a Kenwood KDC-X993 in my 08' Dodge Ram. It was
easy to install and works perfectly. It keeps power to the head unit just like
it was from the factory. Pricey for what it is, but If you buy your head unit
through Crutchfield, they give you 50% off this harness. That's a sweet
deal IMO.

Whenever I do stereo shtein, I always use Crutchfieild. They charge a bit more, but their shtein is always delivered on time and works as advertised. Trust me to by the way, spend some extra coin if you can and get a decent head unit, not some POS Sony from Pep Boys.

wow, if i buy the receiver on crutchfield, it gives me the mounting kit for free and the harness at half price.  boing.

ha, you beat me

[SunMo]

have you thought about switching to 8 tracks? 

If anybody has any 8 tracks or knows anybody that has 8 tracks, I'm interested in buying them unless they're crappy bands

i know my grandparents house has BOSTON and a bunch of other bands of the era, but they've been sitting in a garage and probably dont play or the magnetic strip is farged.  They look great though

[Tomahawk]

Do they still want them?

Some tapes work, some don't, then others will play for a track or two before the tape snaps. Steppenwolf and Doobie Brothers are the only ones I have that play "great." I got my moneys worth with Led Zeppelins Houses of the Holy; because of the bleed through, it's almost like listening to two songs at once

Gotta ask my dad, might be a while before i get up there, but ill see

I appreciate it and awesome link - thanks

I've tried to use their indoor 8track player with those tapes, but the tape player doesnt want to work, probably a burned out fuse.  The tapes have been sitting in a garage for 30plus years, so they more than likely dont work.  At least that site has some great deals on tunes

[Tomahawk]

Looking through the sites, apparently Beastie Boys Licensed To Ill was released on 8 track. I'd probably pay $50 for a good working copy of that. In the meantime, I ordered:

AC/DC- Let There Be Rock; Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap
Aerosmith- Toys In The Attic
Beatles- The Rubber Soul
Black Sabbath- Heaven and Hell
Iron Butterfly- In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Kiss- Love Gun
Molly Hatchet- Beatin' The Odds
Pretenders
Steve Miller Band- Abracadabra
The Warriors- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Gonna be some good cruisin'

Looking for an old BSA or BMW motorcycle, I found this:
