OK, so I bought a wired FM Modulator. I removed the covering in the trunk, and unplugged the antenna wire...

It's not standard! (insert exasperated scream here)

now, I have to spend MORE money to get an antenna adapter (two, even?!?) to couple the FM modulator into the antenna line.

Now I'm getting angry... I've never had this much trouble with factory stereos.

sigh.

yeah, tell me about it. I just installed a new head unit in my Gen III. I spent $75 on the parts (antenna adapter, wire harness, and oval face plate) to install my $150 unit. And if I had Best Buy install it for me, another $150 in labor, just because Ford doesn't realize people might want to upgrade from stock...
