02 Protege5 Sirius Starmate Replay/JVC HU install

[domingo79]

Just finished and lovin' it. A little bit of a pain due to the small double din opening of the MP5, but worth it! I love the factory look...check out the pics and give me some comments.

Eghh..Looks ok....Pretty basic...nothing to rave about IMHO.

I guess I could take that as a compliment considering I was going for a simple "factory" look. Didn't need all of the bells and whistles, but thank anyway for your "humble" opinion!(stfu)

did u install the antennae yourself? I'm going to be doing this next week and i don't know where to run the wire and such. (or do you know where the installers ran the wire?

[domingo79]

ACTUALLY I DID THE INSTALL MYSELF AND RAN THE ANTENNA ALONG THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLINER, DOWN THE FRONT PILLAR, AND UNDER THE DASH (MADE SURE WIRE WAS SECURED SO IT DIDN'T HANG DOWN BY MY FEET). I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, BUT I CAME ACROSS AN INSTALL INVOLVING THE SHARK FIN ANTENNA WHICH ACTUALLY HID THE SIRIUS ANTENNA (VERY CLEAN!). I WAS THINKING ABOUT DOING THIS, CHECK IT OUT AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.

that's exactly what I wanted to do. That's such a clean install too. any idea where to get that antennae? i've heard of so many different ones to be used. from mazdas to using the shark fins of of different cars?

[domingo79]

There are plenty of threads listing how and where to get one, just search the Protege5 forums for it.
