    My '97 Mountaineer

    My Google Review for Mobile Concepts (Orland Park, IL) I took my vehicle here to have my aftermarket radio properly installed. I could have installed it myself, but could not get the power antenna to properly work. So, I brought it to Mobile Concepts, and they told me they could properly...

    My '97 Mountaineer

    found this answer on answers.com (my name is Vince too!) Chances are your Explorer has the premium JBL sound system. If so, the antenna and everything else run to an amp in the rear of the vehicle near the subwoofer instead of behind the dash. You'll need an adapter and a long extension to run...

    UPDAte on the AFTER MARKET RADIO and POWER ANTENNA situation I brought my 97 mountaineer back to the place that installed the after market radio. They told me that my mountaineer has a "semi-automatic power antenna" (like its a gun) and it will only properly work (go up and down) with ford...

    My '97 Mountaineer

    I went to the place that installed it and they said the antenna is either up or down. He wasn't sure how to properly do it. Does anyone know how I could fix this myself. I'm not settling for my POWER antenna to stay up. Its a power antenna. How am I supposed to get my car washed.

It came with Power windows, and LEATHER SEATS (2 front power seats,) sunroof, 6 disc CD changer, nearly new (nitrogen)...
