Replacing stereo
 

Have a factory am/fm/cass. in recently purchased 89Lx convrtible. Would like to replace it with something decent as the cass. doesn't work. I am baffled by the fact that the storage compartment underneath and also the guide on top which supports the radio are attached to the radio case. Any suggestions on how to replace this thing?
Thanks

I wish I could help, not sure that I can though. In my '95 GT I replaced the AM/FM/Cass with a pioneer CD. The removal was very easy and only required some "hooks" which fit in to the holes on the side of the deck. This unlocks some mechanism and then the deck pulls out real easy. I used an installation kit from the local stereo shop that fit right into the upper housing. I'm not sure how similar the SN95's are with the Fox bodies though.

Ah yes, the good ol' storage area that is part of the stereo. Been there, done that. If I remember right the little storage area is riveted (maybe soldered) to the bottom of the radio. Go to a car audio place and get an installation kit (I think that's what they call it). Anyways, it contains a black plastic piece in which is the same size (as the hole now in your dash), but has a hole for the radio in the top half and the bottom half is solid to take care of the empty hole where the little compartment was. When you install the new stereo it makes it look, to a certain extent, factory. Like as if the compartment was never there.

I use to have a 90 mustang lx and I had my deck remove and they replaced with a similar holder. It had the cut out for the radio but also had that little compartment like the factory not as big though, I know they also have one with a cut out for an EQ and stero but if you decide no EQ it comes with a little cover looks pretty nice. Try you local audio installation shops.
