Stock radio modified or Aftermarket ?

I'm putting together an 89 Formula 350. There was a junk Walmart stereo in it.... Its now gone. I want a decent stereo I can hook my iPod into but everything I'm finding in the aftermarket either doesn't dim at night or has dancing graphics on the face, I'm not a 18 year old in a Honda..

Anyone seen a stock 89-92 radio with some way to add on a iPod jack?

All you have to do is buy a cassette adapter. Often 2 dollars at your local dollar store.

Yes, they are on Ebay and posted here as well. You should be able to find a few threads on here by searching.

Re: Stock radio modified or Aftermarket ?

Here's an idea to think about... Buy a used GM radio that is stock for your year. Doesn't even need to be fully funcital. Now your ride looks like an original GM, and not a teen's Honda. (Nothing against Honda, they are fantastic cars.)

Then check out :
Custom Autosound SRMS Premium Secret Audio.
It's a Hideaway Unit, with 200 watt AM/FM CD Controller with USB MP3 / WMA Flash Drive, and iPod Interface. With wireless control that works upto 40 ft. away. Costs around $380. (Retail $400.)

www.CustomAutosound.com ... At the top left of the web page, in the blue area, click on 'Secretaudio'

Re: Stock radio modified or Aftermarket ?

the custom autosound stuff is cool but expensive. you could do the stock fo radio and get a aftermarket bluetooth HU. my 180 dollar clarion has every audiophile adjustment 4v preouts all sorts of things. the bluetooth auto connects, turns on my S4 android's music player and starts playing all without wires or touching anything
