Re: [DML] Replacing Radio - how it's done?

[Daryl Scott <daryl_scott32@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if my was the best. What I did was buy a single-DIN sized radio and used a Dremel tool to enlarge the faceplate area to accomodate the size. You need to be careful while doing this as it leaves the edges pretty thin. Masking tape will help to ensure that you do not harm the black finish too.
Then I used a Delorean wiring diagram to connect the new radio's harness to the stock wiring. 
This will allow a really clean installation and choice of many radios.

      I want to replace the original radio in my DMC but I don't know how to do it. How do I buy a radio that actually fits and has the same connectors? My original doesn't work the screen is smashed and it sucks not having a radio in the car. I just have no idea how to find a radio that will fit and then get hooked into the wire harness back there.
