Nope. I put a 10-disk cd changer in the trunk and a cassette player
with AM/FM radio in where the stock radio used to be. The advantage
was it's half the size of the original radio and gives me a nice
little "bin" underneath.

I ass-U-me you read this:

"The radios are all taken from salvaged vehicles that were already
dismantled (meaning they couldnt be tested). They are all as-is and
considered for cores. Working condition is unknown, which means you
could get one that works perfect or one that does not."

Get one of these, instead, and install it according to directions at
miata.net.

Or one of these:

or whatever. Stick with Mazda radios. I got the combo
AM/FM/Cassette/CD 6 disk Changer from Ebay, brand new and guaranteed,
no regrets. It fits, it works.

Actually, I posted here as a result of a discussion in
rec.music.classical.recordings about a car CD player that has digital
compression as an option, a feature which greatly enhances the listening
experience for classical music in any car, especially a noisy one. I
neglected to mention that. The one I linked to (and it was just suggestive,
it's easy to find the same unit that has been tested and comes with some
sort of guarantee) has the feature. The ones you suggested don't have
compression, as far as I can see, unfortunately. That's why I wanted to
know if and how the Ford unit could be installed in a Miata.

As my followup post says, I'm looking for a unit with digital compression.
I should have mentioned that to aviod getting well-intended, but irrelevant,
suggestions.

I suspect that you, like others, will find the attempt to have even
barely acceptable music in a Miata to be futile but good luck!

Ah. Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were actually going to put
one *just* like that in your car.

Never mind. <g>

Better irrelevant than irreverent. <g>

And at least we didn't ignore your post. <G>

I wouldnt touch it as he explicitly says it may or may not work. I he
is selling 15 - 20 a week, he could wire up a testing rig.

Actually, he can't. He's running a salvage yard, cars are disassembled
with cutting torch, pry bar and wire cutters. If he spent half an hour
testing radios, he'd probably have to triple the prices or more.

There's a lot of money to be made in the wrecking business but speed is
essential.
