wpageabc Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 My friend just had his radio jacked at the ballpark in the city. How do you stealth yours so it is cloaked in darkness from the evil doer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well excuse me! Saw it and didn't see any revelations. Looking for something other than I cut off the face of a old radio. Anything? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sportsfan21 Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 That's all you've seen because, unfortunately, thats basically it. Some of the Scions have a fold down panel that covers the radio (without the face of an old radio attached), but those come stock with the car. You can tint your windows, or make a cover.

wpageabc Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 OK Sport. Guess I will need to invent a cover. Windows are already tinted. However really dont want a smashed one and a torn dash. Thinking maybe just a short vinyl that will partially hide it and flip up when unit tilts down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmy303 Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Geeez, Jets fans. Well, besides cutting the face off of an old radio, you could build a sleeve attached to a short throw linear actuator to pull the unit into the dash and hit a microswitch that turns on a servomotor that swings a cover plate up over the face of the radio from a cavity below it. Or put the new radio somewhere else, like the glovebox, and rely on only the remote to run it. Or uninstall your Z1 and reinstall the factory radio every time you go to the ballpark. Or hire a driver to guard the car. Or have your friend drive. Or design and build a cloaking device. Or watch the game on TV. Or electrify a perimeter fence around your car. Outside of cutting the face off an old radio to cover your nice new head unit, not too many other options are feasible, for noone will believe you ordered the radio delete option in a Cadillac CTS or an H2, etc. A good alarm with a paging feature wouldn't hurt, either.

wpageabc Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Obviously Miami Dolphin fans are upset about being beat by NY Jets the other day and are happy heaping scorn and ridicule on us!

sportsfan21 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 Dont be jealous the Mets WHOOPED the arses of the Yankees this year Oh, I'm not jealous. I don't think two world series rings are something to get jealous over. But anyway, I'm not one of those Yankees fans. I can congratulate the Mets when they do well, and they had a good season this year, although both teams fell short of the anticipated Subway Series World Series Round II.
