I just bought a 2003 Mustang, 3.8 V6, and i'm trying to figure out what kind of system it has. I'm not much of a car audio person but would like to know what I have, for future reference. Basically I was just wondering if this is the mach system that I see mentioned, forgive my ignorance.

 

We don't forgive ignorance around here, we just rip on ya

lol well rip away....i'll be the first to tell you that I don't know jack **** about car audio, i'm a pc technician so most of my time is spent behind or inside a computer lol

 

I believe the Mach systems have the words "Mach *360 or 1000*" written across the head unit?

 

it looks like a standard radio but the only real way to tell is to pull the radio and see what hrns is on the back. Takes 2 secs to pull the radio with the proper tools, ford radio removal keys($10 at an autoparts store). Take the radio out and take it to a local shop to match up ahrns and get a kit. Parts should be around $30 and it is too easy to pay anyone to install.

We can get you through it, what are you wanting to do?

 

I'm not in any kind of rush, I basically just need a method of connecting my mp3 player to my car, but I would need a new headunit unless I went with an FM transmitter. I'm probably going to test out a decent FM transmitter first, even though I know i'm not going to get as good quality out of FM as I could with an auxiliary input.

 

Do you have a pair of amps mounted underneath the speaker box in the trunk? I had a 460 and this is where they were mounted. I figure the 1000 has the same location, but bigger amps.

BTW, your mama dresses you funny

 

nope, no amps in the trunk, so i'm assuming it's a standard system?

you'll have to enlighten me on that one lol

 

It looks like that deck has cd changer controls so you can probably get an aux input hrns and use that for your ipod. It will cost a few bucks extra but sound better.

I wouldn't call it "funny" as much as "different"..... Funny makes you laugh and there is nothing funny about a grown man in a leather thong!

 

you'll have to enlighten me on that one lol

BTW = By The Way (more than likely you already know that, but just in case)
Your mama..... (fill in the blank) is my rip of the day.

Now that I have explained a joke that is no longer funny (maybe only mildly amusing to begin with) I am going to go to work now.
