Just bought my first car, '92 240. Pretty excited, although the
radio/tape deck doesn't work. I bought a cd player and wondering is
anyone knows how easy/hard to install. The antenna on the car is
busted off aswell, how difficult is it to find a new antenna and
install it. Thanks.

You can get an installation kit from Crutchfield or other places for less
than 20 bucks, it'll let the CD player plug right into the factory harness
(though you'll have to remove and bypass the external amp above the
passenger footwell) and an adapter plate to mount it in either the upper or
lower dash location.

New antenna is easy to find, either online or from the dealer but kinda
pricey.

OEM manual antenna hard to find for '92/'93 wagons (and they break
very easily) but can find Euro style stubby rubber ones or cell phone
style ones that thread onto old nub at places like Advance Auto Parts,
Napa, etc. Reception not as good, however.
