Dear all,
I am thinking of installing a car radio in my Spit.
Who has done this and what are the most important things
to consider? Some more specific questions:
- How and where should I connect it to? (I am not an
electronic freak and have virually no idea).
- Should the connection be fused and how do I achieve
this?
- Do I have anything to do in order to avoid distortions
from the electrical system of the car, and if yes,
what?
- What is the best place to install the loudspeakers?
(I guess the best/only place is the panel behind
the seats where the boot is)
- at the moment the Spit has some panel with a radio
sized hole in it under the dashboard, but is it
enough to install a radio there, or do I need some
special device? If yes, where could I get something
like that? (or how could I build it myself?)
- What kind of antenna (aerial) should I get? I actually
do not want to drill holes into my sheet metal. So
I would prefer an antenna which is just a piece of
wire attached to the windscreen frame or something
similar. Any recommendations?
