Answer: Much like 300 Sparta a persian king with much wealth and a worldly cause threatens to invade by overpowering wit and wisdom. You about the smartest one I’ve seen yet. McCain is the lesser of the two evils. Remember Obama is related to Chenney as well.

Question: What are the risks in replacing the factory radio in a ‘98 – ‘02 Accord EX?

It looks like the anti-theft system on these cars is built in to the radio. What do you lose when you replace the radio? Do you risk immobilzing the car? Do the remote door locks not work? Is there a stereo to look for that can use the steering wheel audio controls? Are there additional complications if the factory stereo has the 6-disc CD changer?

Answer: The anti-theft system built into the factory radio is only for the factory radio. If you disconnect the power to the radio, you’ll need to enter a code to make it work again when it’s re-connected. No other vehicle systems will be affected by removal of the factory radio.

There are 3rd-party adapters available to convert the factory steering wheel controls so they can be used with an after-market radio. To use the adapter, you need to pick a CD player that either has an input on the rear for a wired remote (preferred) or comes with its own wireless remote (not as good, but it will work). The adapters usually run around $70 or so, depending on where you look. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-y2YILYeisXz/cgi-bin/ProdGroup.asp?search=swi&skipvs=T&g=118900

Having a 6-disk changer doesn’t complicate anything when installing a new after-market head unit, but if it’s a separate trunk-mounted CD changer, it won’t work with the after-market deck. If you have CD’s in it, make sure you take them out before you remove the stock radio.

PS: In certain Honda CIVICs from 1996-1998, the factory keyless entry and alarm systems are integrated with the factory radio. If you replace the radio in one of these vehicles, you have to relocate the factory radio and keep it wired into the system in order to keep the factory alarm and keyless. However, this was never the case on an Accord. I think the person below me probably has a Civic.

Question: Certificate Of Deposit (CD’s) How safe are these if the economy continues to collapse?

I am concerned about my CD’s which are presently in two banks… Wachovia, and First Commonwealth Federal Credit Union. The sum in each bank is under 100K Are they safe? It is rumored that Money Market funds are the next to crash. Are CD’s the same as Money Market Funds? Thanks…retired and very worried. Thank you for your assistance.

Answer: Certificates of Deposit (CDs) are backed by the US government and covered by the FDIC. Money Market Accounts allow you to write up to three checks a month off of them and are also backed by the FDIC. The primary difference is that almost all CDs are locked for a set time period where you cannot add money to them or withdraw money from them. Money Markets allow deposits and withdrawals. Since the amount in each financial institution is under 100K your money is safe.
