Let's face it, an 80's car is not complete without a cassette player, and I know I don't want to not have CD's. SO... Does any company make a car radio that plays tapes and CD's? Or do I have to settle with a tape player and an external unit that lets you play CD's on the tape player?
Thanks....

 

Clarion, and i bleieve JVC both make models that fit perfectly in "Most GM vehicles" check best-buy, circuit city, etc

 

Thanks! You know, I think that is the fastest response on a message board I have ever gotten. I usually wait days...
I'll try them.

Oh, I get it now! You only bothered to reply 'cause you had nothing better to do. That makes me feel real welcome! (J/K)

 

I think you have to buy a tape player that supports a CD changer. I know that some asian cars with double din stereos can have both tape and CD in the deck, but I'm not sure if anyone makes them in 1.5 din size.

What do you think i care about you and your need to play tapes and cds? J/K im happy to help. i think clarion had a couple ranging from $300 to $600 but im goin completly on memory from lookin at thier website 3 or 4 months ago...
i have no idea about the JVC one, but i personally trust clarion over JVC

There are a bunch of double-din radios from the manufacturers mentioned above that have tape and cd, but the only brands that have it in a 1.5 DIN (which is what you need for GM) is Audiovox and Jensen. Neither are of any respectable quality. Your best bet is a tape deck & changer. Sony offers a package that sells for about $250.

Just makin sure you guys paid attention to what Jim said .... GM = 1 1/2 DIN size. A double DIN HU will not fit. A single DIN (which is what most aftermarket HU's are) will fit using an installation kit.
