(12/70) 1971 240Z electric antenna

[Zs-ondabrain]

I still havent had time to "RIP" thru my supplies yet but I wil as soon as humanly possible. With the land lord inspection, ASTROHOG's DVD install into his 240Z and Easter this week, I haven't had too much time. But I will keep it in mind. I promise.

BTW all, Astrohog's DVD install went well! THANKS DAVE! I had a great time and LOVE the new unit!!!!

The antenna that Dave mentioned earlier in this post is a great deal and a good match for the Z's! No, not EXACTLY oem, BUT, it is a good match and fits well right outta the box.

As for the DVD player..... I never dreamed I would put a DVD player in the Z (much less any other car I own) BUT, I am a guy (guys like gadgets!!) and the price was the same as the head unit I had decided on (middle-road Pioneer). SOO... that was kind of a no-brainer!

My future plans for the Z is to "upgrade" certain things while maintaining the original flair the Z's were designed with. I think this CD/DVD player fits that bill perfectly! The screen is not so big as to be overwhelming, but it is big enough to see easily. Along with IPOD control and DVD capability, it also has a mini usb plug on the front face AND an sd card slot, so viewing all of the "before and after" Z pics is easy to do at any gathering!!! PRETTY COOL!

Thanks again, Dave for all your help! You are one of the many reasons this Z community is so special!!!

This one worked well for my (12/70) 1971.

metra 44-PW22

I will get pics next time I am out to the car (probably tomorrow)

It was a clean, easy install and I think it looks as good or better than the stock one (biased? maybe.)

I picked mine up off the shelf @ Best buy for under $60.00 and I found them online for as little as $39.99.

Most car audio shops carry the METRA product line. My cost is $50 plus shipping but if you find it else where for less, go for it.

Jeff, It was great meeting you yesterday. I'm actually happy that the install went as well as it did. Most radio instals take longer cause the wiring looks like a rats nest. Luckily, your's was'nt that bad at all. Keep me up to date on the performance of the DVD player as I WILL BE GETTING ONE FOR MYSELF, even if it cost me my left nut (wife is against it)

If any one else is interested in the unit, Feel free to PM or email me about it. All the info about it is 9 post's behind this one. And they're $300. The SD card slot is on the top of the face plate. It is a 50 X 4 watt unit as well as Front, Rear, And subwoofer Amp outputs, Video/Audio inputs and outputs, Rear camera input, Ipod input jack (adaptor cable available through soundstream.com) Fully adjustable motorized face with 4 position tilt. Last position memory--even if you pull the DVD and then re-insert it)

Here's the Soundstream info page on the VIR-8004 VIR-8004 AM/FM/DVD/USB/SD CARD

e-mail me at wolfin32z@yahoo.com for more info.

Thanks again ASTROHOG

Dave.

Dave,

Whats your price on one with a black mast?

Best,

H. Houghton,

Check your PM.

The Part number that ANY audio shop can look up is Metra ( 44-PW22B ) And just tell them you want the black mast and see what they say. If they say more than the amount I PM quoted ya, E-mail me and I'll order one for ya ans ship it to ya when your money order arrives.

And MIKE, I would actually have to charge an additional $15 for the shipping to your location. Reason for that is Jeff or ASTROHOG came to me to pick it up, so I did'nt have to charge him shipping.

SO TO EVERY ONE INTERESTED IN THE IN-DASH AM/FM/DVD/CD/SD CARD/IPOD INPUT JACK RADIO/motorized 4 position face with 3.6" monitor...

The price is $315 anywhere in the Continental U.S.
