Radio choice

I am currently looking for either a factory radio that can be installed in an 85 Iroc or some advice on what to put in its place. I really want Bluetooth on a stock one but no one that I have found can do that. Any and all help and pics will be appreciated.

Several options of this sort. They work pretty good.

Re: Radio choice

I use one in my daily 2001 Monte Carlo. Only draw back is volume has to be higher than the radio/cd. If I leave it plugged in and on, it can cause my remote locks not work. I think it can also drain the battery, but I unplug it when I shut the car off.

You can also talk on your phone hands free.

There is a guy on the 3rd gen Facebook groups who does Bluetooth on factory units.
His name is Noe Saldivar

Re: Radio choice

I'm still waiting for John to gut a factory radio and put modern internals in it. need to JAM when those T-tops are off. Factory aint cutting it. They now make short aftermarket head units that have no cdrom player in them. allows them to drop right in with no messing around from what I can see. I'm heading that way.

Re: Radio choice

I’ve went with the Now guy that was mentioned in the earlier reply. Have a radio on the way. Seems like it’s going to be exactly what I wanted.
