The factory radio in this was dying anyhow, so even if I wanted to leave it "factory" it would have required effort, but I can appreciate that you might want to do it. I suspect you're looking at a somewhat different class of problems as a result, though.

The second car is a Dodge Spirit, which amusing has a radio which is somewhat worse: when you play with the volume knob, the volume jumps all of the place, taking about 30 seconds to settle down, at which point your eardrums have already blown out:-)
