I want to give my friend my old XM set-up, including the radio that came stock in my 03 Cav.
He has an 89 Astro with stock radio - looks like the same size.
Should I expect this to hook up with no problems or are there a world of adaptors, harnesses, and new wiring set-ups between those 2 years and vehicles?
I'm pretty sure it's the latter but thought I'd check before I tear into this project.
Thanks!
What does that mean exactly?
Remember, I have NO idea what I'm doing (but will have a friend there who has some experience with this stuff).
Thanks!
"Class two data bus" wires the radio into the car's computer system. If it doesn't get that binary signal, it might not power up.

if you want a cd player... grab a 99-down radio and it should work perfectly.
The other probly you're going to run into is mounting the radio. Astros have a clip on either side of the radio whereas the cavalier radios have mounts for screws to go into. I'm not really sure how easy or hard it would be to try and switch the peices.

oh its very easy as long as you have the astro pieces you can just swap them over. But there is a chance the brackets will not hit if they don't then you make your own very easily.
