stock radio question JStumpalump150 09-27-2006, 09:56 PM
will the radio from my 98 cavy work in a 2000+ cavy? cuz my friend has a stock radio that does not have a cd player and i was going to install my old stock radio in her car, but i dont know if her wireing is the same as mine....i know that she will probly loose her door chimes and i dont think she will miss them and i dont think she has onstar so thats not a problem will it work? the radio looks the same but the door chimes and onstar are wired in to the radio from 2000 and up so i wonder if the wires are different MrR0b0t0 09-27-2006, 10:56 PM never tried it before, butttt dont the wires just plug in to the back? Atleast thats how mine is, try seeing if the plugs match. JStumpalump150 09-28-2006, 09:30 AM i know they just plug in but i dont know if the 2000+ cavys have different plugs since it has onstar and the door chimes my99cavy 09-28-2006, 10:33 AM I'm not sure either but I guess take them both out and see if it will fit. Mangoamerican 09-28-2006, 11:06 AM yeah.. that wont work. 2001 cavaliers have a newer plug on them that require a t-harness to put in an aftermarket whereas the earlier cavaliers have a standard gm plug my99cavy 09-28-2006, 11:18 AM Yeah I thought the plugs were different. Derk_eliso 09-28-2006, 06:26 PM okay new plan. Buy a Haynes manual for the both the cars, figure out the wiring and cut and splice the hell out of it..NO! bad idea, did that with my first car Dodge Spirit...let's just say I laid her to rest a long time ago, lol. Derk_eliso 09-28-2006, 06:27 PM no New plan, buy a wiring harness! and get a new non-shitty, non-stock cd player ;) my99cavy 09-28-2006, 06:29 PM okay new plan.
