Hey mrfixit,

Digging up this old thread because I just got myself a 2005 Crown Vic P71, which has the exact same factory stereo system that your car had. What did you use for an installation kit?

I'd like to do pretty much the same thing you did. No remote buttons on my wheel, though, so no SWI-X for me.

Where'd you mount the amplifier?

I picked up the new beast to replace the old Volvo 245 that had 235k miles on it. The Crown is good for that many miles at least. It's a retired police car, so it has 3.27 limited slip rear axle and 10 extra horsepower, but nothing like your Marauder. 68k miles, 3 years old, $7000. THAT's what I'm talkin' about!

Thanks in advance,

Jim
