    Anyone put an after market radio/CD or radio/cassette player in a 2003
    Tiburon? And, if so, what brand(s)? The factory radio is useless, as
    most of you Tib owners know.

    Thanks.

    Wanderer, visit www.crutchfield.com

    They provide excellent guidance on what will fit your vehicle. I have
    been installing car audio for over 25 years and if you stick with Alpine,
    Pioneer and Kenwood, you will not be unhappy.

    They also provide free install kits and wiring harnesses if you buy
    through them.

    Just a site to do some excellent research.

    Thanks, Cableguy,

    Just looked at their site, and found several fits.

    Car belongs to wifey, and she would like both CD and cassette. Turns
    out there are several models that provide that capability--one was the
    Sanyo FXCD-550.

    Now, the big question! Since you're in the business, you'd probably be
    able to answer this from experience. As most Tib owners know, the radio
    reception is VERY poor. If the car used a ribbon antenna in the
    windshield or rear window, I could understand. But, the Tib has an
    external antenna. Is the poor reception the fault of the radio, the
    interconnecting cable, or the antenna itself? BTW, the antenna is
    located on the right rear fender. I'd hate to spend big bucks on a new
    radio only to get the same lousy reception.

    Many thanks for your ideas/opinions.
