Hey all. My 87 trans am has a radio without the equalizer and i was wondering where i could get one with an equalizer. I want to keep it stock looking and so it will go with the orange dash lighting.Thanks.

 

There's a bunch on Ebay

 

I have one that came from a cadillac seville.
Its in mint condition and it was workin when I pulled it out.
If you want it you can have it for $40 shipped =]

 

oh and it still has the wiring harness in the back =]

 

Thanks for the offer 87 white gta but I'm gonna look on eBay and see if I can find one that matches the dash lighting.

 

Hey since you guys are on the topics of radios... i still have the stock wiring harness in my 86T/A... I was wondering... what type of the delco radios will fit into my TA without changing the wiring harness?

 

If you get the urge, you could remove the faceplate like I did and paint the back side of all the controls and indicators to match the dash.

I guess to rephrase that... would a delco radio of the same year from a different vehicle like oh say another gm product like a camero or a cadillac have the same type of radio?

 

Pretty much all gm radios from 82-2002 will fit.On some you might have to change the mounting brackets but thats really no big deal at all.

 

I have a 92-95? pontiac delco cd player with 5 band eq.Grey face with orange backlight.Radio works great but the cd mechanism will need to be fixed.I can recommend a shop who does great repair work on these units if your interested.LMK

 

I was thinking more along the lines of a stock radio for my car to keep the original look. I know a lot of the simmilar radios would look about the same. I don't know if the jacks and connectors would fit from a 92-95 radio. oops just saw that other posting. ok cool thanks for the info. hmmm sounds like i might want to shoot for a later firebird then... i wonder what they will have on ebay...

 

The connectors changed in 1989 to a pin type plug as opposed to the older type 3 big plugs

 

so basically i can use any radio from 82-89 from any pontiac or gm like a caddy or a chevy?

 

You could A) get a newer Delco radio/CD player from a Pontiac and all you would need is a wiring adapter-$5-$15
B)Try really hard to find a working or fixable 87 Delco radio/cass player!

FYI: I got a 99 Grand Prix CD player in my ride.....Works Great-I Love It!.....And some how it still looks stock!

 

that adapter you are talking about... does that require you resodder ther wires for that adapter to work or is it just a single piece that goes imbetween the old connector and the radio?

 

Sodder! You have the old wires going into the old plug. The New adapter plugs Onto the old plug. The wires from the adapter is soddered to the wires of the "Newer" Delco player plug wires and that plugs into the deck.

Sorry, I made it sound Alot harder then what it actually is! It's really not that hard to do!!! If I can do it, so can you!!!!!!

 

This maybe of help to you:

Hello,
I was wondering if you still have the AM stereo/FM stereo cassette w/equalizer that was out of a Cadillac Deville?
