hoping someone here can help. I have a 91 GTA and looking to replace my stock head unit for another stockish unit. I’ve found one from an Oldsmobile, I believe. The main connection at the back is the same, however this other unit seems to have an additional, small connector. I think this might be for the steering wheel controls. Does anyone know if this unit would work in my car (except for steering controls since I don’t have them)? I’ve attached a pic of the back of the potential unit - the area in green is the same as my original unit, the red one is what I don’t have.
If it will work, do I need to be concerned with unlocking the new unit? The radio doesn’t seem to say “Delco Loc” anywhere on the front.
Yes. The other small connector is for steering wheel controls. I replaced the radio in my Vert and went from an AM/FM/Cassette/EQ without steering wheel controls to an AM/FM/CD/EQ with steering wheel controls that I didn't use, and it worked perfectly.
After all these years, I doubt it's still locked, and even on the outside chance that it is, there are you tube videos that show you how to unlock it.
