I believe the ECU is a P06 or P28. I picked it up from Northwest Auto Solutions in Columbus. You might remember their thread about trying to start up an ecomodding shop. Pretty neat stuff!

Oh and I still have a stereo. I just relocated it to the stock CD player area which is righ above the cupholder. I will take better pictures of it later.

Thanks. I was really happy to see it matched perfectly. Now I just need a bigger LCD for the MPGuino! I think our dashes are the same. I am pretty sure all 96-98 had the same controls. 99-00 were the ones that were different.

I did not like having the gauges that low. I originally had my scan gauge down there and really disliked it. I did not think it was safe at all looking down that far so often. I felt the stereo was a better fit down there.

I picked up an 3 foot interior antenna which have mounted on the top of my windshield. But as you said, quality is not as good, but better than nothing. I find myself using the stereo’s flash drive playing ability more than anything. Scandisk makes a really shallow USD flash drive that sticks out maybe 2-3mm. Barely enough to grab onto to remove it.
