Unless you have a very quite car, dont bother!

The high energy ignition systems, engine control computer, ABS computer
and other nice elctronincs are very noisy. I borrowed a nice grey
market Sony
from a friend and tried it for 4 months in my 1985 Celica. When parked,
well
away from power lnes and other noise sources it worked great. Inspite
of my
various attmepts to reduce the noise in my Celica I was unable to do
more
then listen to power houses international outlets like the BBC.

Even my efforts at RFI reduction were somewhat wasted because if there
was
any traffic I could hear their engines over even the stronger SW
stations.

Go for a SW converter from MFJ first to see how it will work. Much
cheaper
and easier to install, the Sony was deeper then the stock radio and I
had to
improvise.
