Upgrading Company Truck's FM Radio

I tried this and it is horrible for otr. First of all, in big cities, there might not be a single station that is usable. Also, every 20 minutes or so I had to change the station it was on. Whats the point?

 

yeah, CRST did things like, oh, we'll install an inverter for you for $250 (one time fee, if they switched trucks on you you could get it switched for free), oh, we'll install a stereo for you, $50 (each time its done)...

they slipseated all the time. I just had an inverter and it would waste an entire DAY everytime they had to switch it over. I even took it out of a truck myself once to try to save time. Had to pull the side skirt off and everything. LOL.

 

I have my own stereo in my truck, hate factory stereos. If I can find the image I had, I'll post it. I just used T-Taps to install it, since the wiring in the truck already had correctly coded wires for connecting.

 

I use one and yes you do have to switch stations from time to time but it takes a whopping 5 seconds to do. For $10 you can do a whole lot better.

 

ahhh we simply got the satellite thingie and take it out with us when we go home.

I have a bag I put our gps, satellite and other stuff into.

no stress, no mess

 

Here's mine. Fancy.

 

I used t-taps when I was a company driver. THat way you have the harness for the factory radio and new one. When you have to go into company shop it takes a couple of minutes to swap radios and your done. As far as FM transmiters go the new ones are junk due to FCC. I had a transmiter a while back that worked like a charm on 87.9, now that freq isn't even available.
