The first step is purchasing a new stereo system for your car. The radio can be purchased in a car parts retail showroom or through eBay. But make sure that the radio you are buying matches with the car that you own. Keeping the model of the car and the year of manufacture in your mind will help you in this regard. Also consult with the shop assistant to check the compatibility. The new stereo will have a wiring harness adapter attached to it. There will also be a mount present.

Now locate the negative wire that is connected to the battery. This wire is usually black in color. After finding it, disconnect the wire from the battery. The next step involves removing the centre console from the car. This is done by locating the screw that is holding the console in its place and removing them. After removing the screws, the console can be easily removed.

Then, the former stereo can be pulled from its position and the wirings are removed. Its wiring harness as well as the antenna wire is removed from the rear of this older unit. Then stereo mount is placed and is secured with some clips. In case the stereo that is bought fits in this opening, this step can be neglected.

Connect the negative wire to the car`s battery to turn on the car`s power. After making this connection check whether the radio is working properly by tuning it on. If it is not working then check the connections you have made with the stereo. The last step involves replacing the screws and the interiors which you removed during the installation process. This can be done by following the same procedure in the reverse order.

Are Loud Motorcycle Pipes Really That Big Of A Problem In The World?

December 29th, 2009 L.J. James No comments

I have been reading and hearing allot lately about people who are saying that loud Motorcycle Pipes are a major problem in the world. These groups are trying to get those in Government to pass all sorts of new inspection laws for Motorcycle Pipes.

Seeing as Motorcycles make up such a small percentage of the Traffic on the road I would say this problem is very minimal at best. ( I wonder how many cars with bad mufflers are heard that many think are Motorcycles)

These people complain saying Motorcycle Riders like loud pipes because they are juvenile and want to show off and say Hey look at me and draw attention to themselves.

The reason many Bikers like loud pipes is not to say look at me, its to say look out for Me! Many Car drivers these days are talking on the phone, texting , putting on make up , eating , playing loud music , watching Dvds and just not paying attention to the road in front of them. If your in a car an you get hit ,You may get a dent in your car, We could Die! (Nothing enjoyable in life is completely safe)

These groups against loud pipes know gathering citizens together to complain is very easy , if they ask people while they are sitting around all summer long bored “Have you ever heard a Loud Motorcycle Go By?” they are going to say yes they Have!” These groups are then going to talk about how annoying these Motorcycles are and convince these bored people how much better their lives would be if these Motorcycles where gone! These bored people are going to jump right on board!

But now ask these same people when was the last time you heard a loud Motorcycle go by? They will probably hard pressed to find an answer! Was it Weeks ago? Months ago? was it Two years ago?

There are already laws on the books in every state that say a Motorcycles pipes can only be so loud! We do not need new laws on the books that most officers will do nothing about while others will abuse !

This Country spends too much time whining about things! Lets stop and think about Motorcycles. Motorcycles prevent traffic, They prevent wear and tear on the roads, They are great for saving Fuel. They are also a great relaxer, Those who Ride Motorcycles are a lot less stressed!

If people stopped complaining about Motorcycles and went and rode a Motorcycle they might not be so bored with their lives and they would have something better to do with their time!!!

Those who Ride enjoy Life a lot More, This is like therapy and religion all rolled up into one for us! Please do not bring the stress and problems of your dull boring lives into our world !

If you are that board and are looking for something to do with your life email me and I will help you find something better to do with your time. Maybe we can find something you can do that could actually help make the world a better place!!!
