Can someone tell me the correct radio for 87 GTA with UM6?
So my window sticker says UM6 radio, and I don't think the radio in the car is correct. What should a UM6 radio for a 1987 Pontiac GTA look like? Thanks!
This is whats in the car now:
This is what I *think* it should be.
What color should the backlight of the button labels be? Green or red?

Your Pontiac backlighting should be red. The factory stock 87 radio should also have 3 large radio plugs and a smaller 2 wire plug.
The radio in your car right now (silver buttons) is a Buick Radio.
I *think* that the second radio pictured should be in your car. ( Grey SEEK/SCAN and pre-sets. )
I've pulled a few radios from 94 (or so) Grand Ams' that looks like the 3rd radio pictured. ( Black SEEK/SCAN and pre-sets. ) This radio has the smaller 21 PIN plugs. This one might have used during the early nineties in the Firebirds.

Ok perfect. Thanks! So red backlighting, still a green display right? And the Orange power button. Excellent. Thanks!

Yup, Display should be a greenish color.
I was also a bit wrong about the Gran Am decks,..... the ones I got from the 94 looked like this: ( No power button and only pre-sets are black. )
That means the 3rd deck in your pics could also be a Firebird unit.

If you scroll down a few pics this guy has an interior pic, my radio is the same. Figured most of the digital dash '87 GTA's would have had this???
