Newest OEM radio for an '86 ?
Friday, June 22, 2007 8:00 AM
What's the most recent OEM Delco or Bose radio that will physically fit into an '86 J-Body ? I don't mind if I have to do some rewiring or even add an external amp, just as long as I don't have to hack up the dash to make it fit.

I currently have a "Symphony Sound" am/fm/cassette, the one with the 5-band equalizer. Not sure if this is plain Delco or Delco/Bose.

What I want is, at a minimum, AM/FM/CD or combo AM/FM/CD/CASSETTE. I don't care about XM, but a radio that is adaptable for iPod and/or Bluetooth would be a bonus.

the dash kit is the same all the way up to 99 so the radio will physicaly fit all the way up to that year, you just might have to take the brackets off of your current radio and put them on the new one, you will also have to custom a harness to work with t hat, if you go to www.metraonline.com they sell all the harnessees you will need, if you have a wiring diagram and have a clipped harness that fits into the back of the radio you wont need anythough, you will probably be cheaper with buying an aftermarket radio though.
