The 1976 Monaco has been upgraded to Bluetooth technology.
On another note, I found out why the original Pioneer 8-track player never worked. The guy at the Monaco assembly plant who installed it ran two brown wires, one each from the ceiling light positive yellow and negative green wires and then connected the Pioneer red and black wires to those brown wires, ultimately reversing them, so that red was negative and black was positive.
The sound from the new Bluetooth radio is way better, even though the 8-track is cooler.
