I put Sat radio in the TR a year plus ago. I used an FM modulator type, but an integrated one would be great if you are changing the head unit. I also used the mouse style antenna that is wired through the glove box and just sits on the dash. If needed I just throw it in the glove box. Reception is great and no mark on the dash or car. |

George, suggest you post new thread asking for "Best Radio installer in (city) needed". I think you will get your answer. Good luck. Jim |

I have a sat receiver in my 512TR. The antenna is hidden under the dash so there is no evidence. I hardly ever listen to it but it works great. I much prefer the hard pounding sounds of the Boss on songs like Born to Run or Thunder Road. |

Thanks Jim, Problem is WHO can put one in without wrecking the car!. I do all our work on our collection but I have ALL the information and service publications for all the cars. I do not have that for the new "RED HEAD" on the block. We have SAT in the Rolls and Porsche along with CD. Putting those in was a piece of cake since I had all the information. Again thanks for your input. |

I haved only briefly looked at Sat radios, but I think all the sat stations are 'canned' music except maybe one, so it will be like airplane music. Be sure and get a CD player. |

I just purchased a 1988 TR and the radio is junk, I want to put in a XM Sat radio. Any problems? Looking at an Alpine with the GPS and all that stuff. Any Feedback? |
