I know this has probaly been done 400 times but I figured id post pics. Install is easy the stock harness plugs right into it just like the stock one. Only thing I have to do was remove the stock metal bracket inside the hole for the radio it was in the way

Brackets fit perfectly and no gaps or anything.

 

Looks great! does that one come with the speed sensitive volume control? My girlfriend's cavalier has that, very cool.

 

Yep sure does.

 

what the hell is speed sensitive volume control?

 

The volume of the radio gets louder as you go faster, to compansate for wind and road noise. When you slow down, the radio decreases volume so your not blaring the radio. Here's a link to show you how to hook up that feature How to on SCV 4th gen in 3rd Gen

 

does scv work with an aftermarket radio or is it built-in on the 4th gen radio?

 

I wish the aftermarket would get this feature. But it is built into the GM radios.

 

Your telling me , the harness just hooks up and there are no mods except for the metal plate behind the deck ??

I could care less about the SCV , I just want a Stock GM CD player , they look better and sound OK for what I need .

Mark

 

 

Is there a certain yr of that radio I need or will any yr or that radio fit ?

 

Some having different mount styles. I got mine out of a S10 kris will tell you what year.

 

Welcome to the club! Almost every Monsoon CD player out of a later model GM truck or camaro will work. Corvette's are different and will not work. You may need to fab up a bracket. I got mine out of a 2000 SS. The only modification I had to do was to cut a little bit of the heater duct out, but that was no problem at all. Other than that, it bolted right it. Next is to do the SCV.

Crrllmich's radio came out of my 2002 S-10

 

Hey Thanks for the welcome , I have been on thirdgen for 4-5 yrs now but forgot my login etc and started a new account , thanks for all the info on this , how did you reseal the ducting after you cut it ??

Thanks again , Mark

 

I've been in thirdgens for over 10 years and I have yet to feel anything come out of those vents. So I just sealed it with foam that way laying around.

My dad recently put a CD/Cassette player from an Olds in his Iroc. I fit with about 15 mins or pursueding. Half of the bottom buttons are covered up by the radio bezel but you can still push them. I'll try to get a pic of them tonight. We also needed a harness for it.

 

I didn't have to touch any duct work.

 

Is the back of your's flat or does it have a notch at the top? Mine had a notch at the top.

 

I have the cooler fins and fan in the back.

 

Here a pic of the Olds CD player in the Iroc.

Dosent quit fit as well as the others

 

wow i'm surprised that fit , it looks tight in there but hey good job !

 

It doesn't fit as well as the others because it's not a 1.5 DIN like the stock players and the Monsoon.

It is a VERY tight fit, but all we had to do was bend the metal bracket for the climate controls up a little bit and persuede it in. I think it looks pretty good. Plus it's a CD/Cassette player.

 

Was wondering how well the newer delcos matched up looks like i may be getting my wife a new cheapo cd player for her 2001 s-10

 

I love the 4th gen CD player install, really clean and better than an aftermarket IMO, i have an aftermarket in mine down since i have amps, subs, etc but when I yank those out, im definatly doing a 4th gen CD deck swap. Nice job

 

to make this work in my 91 , do i need top or side mount brackets ??

Thanks again , Mark

 

Side mount, the radio out of my 2002 S-10 went right into crrllmich's 91 RS using the mounts already on the radio. Ask with the details of the install. A 2001 S-10 is the exact same radio as the 2002 If anyone does decide to do this, I strongly suggest hooking up the speed sensitive volume. It's not hard to do and it's so cool.

 

Is it the the same as for the one in the link even though that was a cassette player?

 

Yes.

I also want to note. This does sound on par with aftermarket radios.

I will soon be putting infinity reference speakers in the side panels, dash, and rear bose gold assembly. I will let you guys know how it sounds.

 

Hey Guys : I picked up a 94 delco cd player for $30 !!!, all the lights work and is in mint condition.

( stock style cd player that was in my car originally )

It hooked right up and even plays burnt cd's !!

Pics coming soon !!

Thanks again for all the help fellas

 

looks familiar


i had to make an adaptor to use the new style harnas on my 87' and i can't use the SCV since i have a cable speedo.

got mine out of a 97' cavalier, had to replace all the lights in it, but i love it.

 

Just got mention I didn;'t have to change the harness...bolted right in.

I am also working on installing a Delco 12 Disc CD changer as well.

 

Anybody got a p/n for a c/d player that will fit?

Thanks.

 

OK, I'm new to third generations and need some clarification. I have just aquired an 87 GTA with no radio and would like to install a later cd type factory in it. What do I need to put something like the monsoon in this car?

Phil

 

If I updated my deck in my GTA would I still be able to use the controls on the steering wheel?

 

I installed a delco CD Player in my 86 Iroc.This was pulled from a 1993 Buick Roadmaster Wagon.

 

Looks Good !!

Pretty much the same as the factory 91-92 decks except the EQ.

Good Job !

 

Phil: The Monsoon will NOT work because your harness does not have enough wires in it, with that said , can it modified......?? not sure.

I know that the Non-monsoon type cd players will fit right in as noted in previous posts above without any mods to your harness (provided it has not been tamperd with)

If you read the previous posts ( like White93Z's ) that type will work.

Hope that helps.
