MP3 adapter and it works very well!!!!!!!!!!!
I love my 92 Z28. What I dont like is the $275 repair bill I would have to fix the factory radio. I really dont like any of the aftermarket solutions either. I remembered a guy from another forum I knew and he had developed this product. I'm a big fan for helping out the small businessman so I ordered one up. It works like a charm and you cant screw it up. Really. If I can do it any of you can do it. It is a positive and a negitive and route your antenna wire thru it. Here is how mine turned out:
Took it out of the box. Neatly packed with very clear instructions.
Made a run to the parts store and got a couple of these guys cause GM just had to be different with the smaller antenna plugs. They were $26 together from autozone.
After I hooked up the postive (power only when radio is on) and negtive I routed the antenna wires thru the RediRad.
Everything tucked away in front of the console.
I dont smoke, and I wanted the connector to be hidden untill I need it. So, I drilled a hole in the ash tray and ran the connector thru it. Out of sight out of mind.
I had to use a tie wrap to keep the connector from falling back thru the hole I drilled. A black makes it inconspicuious.
End result. I can pull out what I need and tuck it back away when I dont.
It sounds good and it out of the way. I get to retain my factory headunit that looks good in the dash and still sounds good. What a great product. Go to www.redirad.com and check it out. He even has ones for AM only applications for you out there that may have a real old school car and want this.

This looks very cool. I've been toying with the idea of doing the MP3 conversion that has gotten a lot of attention here, but this just seems so much simpler.
Are you still happy with how yours performs? Where and how do you connect the power wires for the Redirad device?
Thanks for sharing.

Re: MP3 adapter and it works very well!!!!!!!!!!!
This looks great. Thanks for posting. I am looking to do the same in my 91. Do you happen to remember the model number you ordered. Also, where did you pull power from? The fuse box? Where did you ground it to? I'm not very technical either. Just trying to decide if this is something I can tackle or not. Thanks.
