Just installed an Escort Zr-3 in my 90q

Ok I splurged quite a bit today... Car Toys 110% price matched Magnolia
Hi-Fi's sale price... The installation is quite painless, I ended up
mounting the front "shifters" ;o) in the grill, I ended up trimming
some of the vertical plastic pieces (moved the Quattro badge up one
level and fit one of the shifters under that.) They actually fit quite
snugly in there without the need to screw them in! (and they are
perfectly level!)
Running the wires to the main control unit was quite simple as well,
undid the cover under the steering wheel and it all went together
there. The rear shifter fits perfectly above the license plate in the
back. I ran that wire in the right side hole of the plate illumination
light then ran it to the usual place under the rear seat & carpet, to
the front.
The controller I mounted on the plastic on top of the steering column,
its thin enough so I can still see all the dash readouts. The mute
button went on the left of the climate control panel.
From all the reviews this one is supposed to be the best. Although I
don't anticipate speeding... too much ;o) I like the added insurance
against road tax.
Anyone else have the ZR-3? Any issues I should know about?
