    radio

    i got a jensen dvd/cd radio and want to know whats a best way to install this slighty heavy radio cause theres no mounting points from the original radio
    the only support is the dash face plate

    you can get an install kit for boxes older than 90, for 90-91's the unit will fit fine just using the din cage.

        I use/d Jensen products (never with an integrated DVD) but none the less, never had a problem with anything I purchased from them, which would be couple of radios(for multiple cars), amplifiers and speakers.

          I've had a Jensen marine stereo on our boat for 7 or 8 years now, not a single issue with it. I hate the looks of the thing, but it and the hard wired remote thats exposed to weather hasn't given me issues so I can't complain.

          And +1 on the install kit. Its a plastic ring that the radio will slide into to mount it. It doesn't seem like it will hold, but it works. If you're concerned about it and your original radio has one of those rear support brackets on it you might be able to adapt it to the new radio. Not all of them had that rear bracket tho, possibly its a Lincoln thing.

            many times there is a place to hook a ground on the new radio... attach the rear support from stock to the new one for added support along with the install kit you can get from walmart

              Ive had great luck with my jensen in dash dvd flip out. I ran it in my bronco and the only problem I have had with it is the cd's wouldnt eject right. But Im sure thats cause it was full of dirt. Picture quality isnt the best but its a good unit. As far as installing, I just filed the trim plate so it fit and put the cage that came with it in. My car does lots of bouncing and it aint broke nothing yet so I'm not working about it. My car is an 89 if it matters.
