Default Just a few questions on my new (to me) CQ

So I'd like to retain my stock stereo. But I want to use my ipod with some sort of dock station. I hate the antenna broadcast thingy that I have. Has anybody here tried one of these out?

My oil temp gauge is non functional. I figured it was the sensor, but not sure if it's the drum style one, or the one wire style. Any insight?

My coolant temp gauge functions, but when the car comes up to temp the gauge stops working. I figured that I would have to replace the gauge, but maybe somebody out there has run into this and it's another fix?

Default Would help to know what stereo you have...

oil temp sensor is mounted at the front of the block. Check the wiring on it.

Re; what stereo; Just the stock Weisbaden (sic?) radio

I didn't think any OEM radios came with aux. inputs.

Default to answer about your coolant temp gauge, sounds like a flakey MFTS to me

if it works, then drops off, then works again, it's at least getting warm, which means it's not your thermostat.

Default Oil temp gauge is at the front of the motor on the oil pump.

check the wire to it. Coolant gauge is likely the MFTS on the coolant neck.
