UU6 Electronic Tuned AM/FM Stereo Radio w/ Seek & Scan, Stereo Cassette, Tape,Graphic Equalizer and Digital Clock

U79 : SPEAKER SYSTEM, 4, DUAL FRT COAX, DUAL EXTENDED RANGE PKG

does anyone have or know of pics of an aftermarket sterio or cd player installed in an 88 with the big woodgrain panel with built in heater and radio controls ??

do i need to swap older style heater a/c control panel in or something?


help

thanks

best thing to do is to put in a console with new radio in it factory heater con trols can be expensive and :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :crying: :crying: :crying: :eek7: :cya: :angryfire :dunno: :1zhelp: :swear: very aggravating (have fun converting) :grinno:

would be nice to find pics somewhere to see how some have done this,

i wonder what GM was thinkign when they designed these integrated heater and radio controls

how crappy, love the car but not the sterio and heater controls

hum..

any info/ideas/tips/links/pics would really be appreciated

and how many years and what models of the caprices had this center dash controls/sterio design

did all of the 88's and whatever other years have this or was it only with certain HVAC or audio or model package RPO ??


thanks

Read Pyroslasher's Thread Posted On The 18th Of July That I Replyed To.

That radio and heater control section do come apart. There are two small screws located under a lip on the front. You have to look from below at just the right angle to see them. But the radio and AC controls do come apart quite easily.

so you can remove the radio part of the dash plate separately and leave the heater controls dash plate alone ? i see the split parting line, didnt know if it was a real split or a fake split ?

which is it ? for real ?

thanks
