Before I chose to install my Alpine headunit (as seen on page 11) I installed a Sirius Sportster Radio. This allowed for me to keep the original Craig radio, yet at the same time have the 'latest and greatest' in the car as well. I think the Sportster looks very sleek at night and blends in with the rest of the green lights on the console. The best part is that it can be completely uninstalled with no evidence it was ever there, should I decide to go back to stock.

Here is the bracket I fabricated for the installation:

Notice the carpeted dash cover to protect and keep the actual dash looking like new.

After installing my Alpine headunit, I removed the Sirius sportster. Instead, I plan on adding the Sirius plug-in unit to my Alpine, thus having Sirius radio directly off of that. It also eliminates the clutter of the external unit.

One other interior modification I made was the addition of a flip top lid on the coin tray. As most of you know, the DeLorean has no center console glove box. Adding this lid on the tray helped to give some easily accessible room to store objects out of view at car shows.
