What would a stock ux1 radio look like for a 1986 Iroc?

 

 

thanks I ordered a ux1 off mnr electronics and it looks a little different and has a shiny face plate so I guess it’s the wrong one

 

A shiny faced UX1 was almost certainly from a Buick...... *might* have come from an Olds too.

   This is the radio I have on mnr electronics it said ux1 I’m assuming this isn’t the right one I guess but on I’m console rpos it says code ux1

 

The "APS" option ( Automatic Program Search ) was added to the 3-button cassette mechanism some-time around 1993. The cassette buttons and ***** are from an Oldsmobile so I'm guessing it's a 93-94 Oldsmobile UX1.

The code "UX1" simply means the radio has an Equalizer. There are dozens of different types of UX1 Delco radios out there. The one that 85Iroc-Z posted a picture of is the proper radio UX1 head-unit for a Chevy.

 

So this would be the correct radio for my 86?

 

Yes,..... well maybe !

Yes; that's what an 86 Chevy UX1 should look like. It's not a 100% "points matching" radio because it doesn't have a black screen, but it's just about as close as you can get these days.

Maybe THAT radio because; The radio plugs were changed in the F-Body 88. 82-87 used large style plugs and 88+ used smaller style plugs. (Some trucks kept using the large style radio plugs till about 93; the brackets on that radio appear to be truck/van radio mounting brackets. ) Your 86 should use the large style radio plugs, so you are going to want to be sure that the radio you acquire also uses the large style plugs too.
