I had my Alpine deck stolen 2 days ago, **** used a crowbar. Now I need help with the installation.

I have installed a few decks before but it was always pretty straight forward. Plug the harness in and plug the antenna in.

On my 1992 Integra, I can only find the harness, not the antenna.

Does anyone know if antennas are sometimes part of the harness? I have a electronically retractable antenna, does that matter?

Any help is appreciated. I am probably going to install a Sony MD deck

    I know believe me, its actually an MD deck in another car I dont use.

    I figured out the problem, the thief hacked the antenna.

    No I am not going to claim it. I reported it to the police but I dont want my insurance to go up.

    well.. here's what you can do...

    the antenna wire runs out to the antenna in two pieces:
    1: wire from antenna stud to interior
    2: wire from side of car to deck

    well what you do is go to radioshack and get an antenna extension wire.. maybe 1.5 foot I think... you may need two. Disconnect the old wire where it plugs from the harnesses wire to the one that goes to the fender. route the new extension cable in the same fashin under the dash as the old one
    then plug it into the deck :cool:

    ----IF---- you have enough antenna wire to put a new male end on it at the deck end, you can replace them instead, it will be a radioshack item as well, but needs to be soldered.

    Hope that helps.

    Here's a pic:

    Thanks for the help little car,

    I soldered on a new end. It seems to work fine now. Now I have to work on repairing the console.

    even if they're kinda expensive, it's probably better to do it right the first time and then never have to worry about it again
