4th Gen Radio to 3rd Gen
Hey guys, I did a search but couldnt come up with much. A 4th Gen Delco Radio will fit in a 3rd Gen right? Im pretty sure it will. Right now I have no radio or harness plugs in my 84. In the future I plan to get a CD deck but right now I just want to get something cheap. I have come across some radios and found one from a 97 camaro. It is a Delco radio CD player and has theftlock.
What modifications am I going to have to do to get this to work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
Mike

I found some factory radio wiring harnesses on ebay.
One is for 88-up GM models
88-up
One is for 78-90 GM models
78-90
I now have a new question. If I get a 4th gen radio I will probably get the harness for 88-up models. Will I have all the wires to match up to this harness or will I be missing some or something like that? sorry if these questions are dumb, I have little car audio experience. Thanks again.

Your car and the fourth gen radio will have different harnesses. I would get a reverse harness for the fourth gen radio (a reverse harness will plug in to the radio), and a harness for your car. Then make an adapter. Go to http://www.installdoctor.com/home.html for pin outs and wire colors. I don’t know much about stock radios or how the theftlock works. There has to be more info in this, I’ve seen it come up before. Someone knows. Any more help out there for this guy?
