2 points to this:
1) I've got a 1990 Sunbird le and the square radio tuner between the vent and the storage compartment looks pretty ugly. Are there better, newer tuners or whatever to put in there? Sorry if this is kinda vague. 2)I'm trying to hook up my amp(bazooka el260) to, well i dont know exactly what to hook it up to. Theres this grey box in the back that everything hooks up to. Again this is kinda vague but I've searched the net and asked friends for about a week on how to install my amp. I get kinda frustrated and so now i'm posting here. I'd rather do it myself then get it done by professionals. It'd make me feel proud. So if you have any tips then please email me at |

It's an underdash housing that has a DIN cutout to accomodate an aftermarket
radio. It's made of black textured ABS, like most dash kits are made of. It doesn't replace anything, but instead allows you to add a new radio. You'll have to disconnect the factory radio, but you can leave the display portion in the dash. I have one in stock that I'll sell you for $20.00, plus shipping (from SW Virginia)... I accept most forms of payment including PayPal! Let me know if you're interested... David SoundworksCarAudio.com "William Filcox" wrote in message . ca... Is that an entire kit to replace everything or what? If so do you have any links to places that sell it? "David" wrote in message news:gSI2b.12575$Go4.6053@lakeread01... In this vehicle, we always use Metra's 99-9000 underdash kit. It can be easily added to the bottom of the dash, right below the factory radio...

If the vehicle was equipped with a factory power antenna or amplifier, the
wire will be PINK, located in the same plug as the power, ACC, and ground wires. If not, then you'll either have to wire it to the YELLOW accessory power wire, through a toggle switch or you can use a Directed Electronics #55000 Remote Power Adapter. David UnderTheDash.com "William Filcox" wrote in message . ca... I need help installing my amp. Is there anyone that has installed an amp to a gm vehicle that could tell me what kind of connections i have to make? i have the power and ground cables on and now i need the rem cable but i dont know where it goes on the receiver box or what? If you have any info or know anything about this please let me know.

Have you already started cutting? Buy the Metra wiring harness (even if you
have cut). "dwinner" wrote in message ...

![]() Hi, I'm going to have a new cd player installed in my 1990 Sunbird LE. I won't be doing the work myself (leaving that to more experienced hands) but I need to get a dash kit for it. Does anyone have some advice as to what would be the best to get? I've been searching and found these so far: Metra's 99-9000 underdash kit (as mentioned earlier in this thread) METRA 89-30-3310 PONTIAC SUNBIRD 1990-94 DASH KIT (Which seems to simply be a faceplate - does anyone know more about this particular model?) Pontiac Kit 1989-up, chassis size E (from crutchfield.com) SCOSCHE GM1452B Installation Kit (For 1989-1994 Pontiac Sunbird) Thanks in advance for any help you can give me! -- SarahA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SarahA's Profile: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/me...p?userid=33879 View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/sh...d.php?t=155691 CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online! |

Does your sunbird have the space below the factory unit to fit the underdash
kit? If so then that is your best option. If you have the console below the factory head unit then the radio will have go where the tape deck it or pocket above it. the metra 89-30-3310 sounds like a metal plate that covers that part "SarahA" wrote in message news:1112295152.8de382dabc729ffbf2cccc7888c0efd6@t eranews...

Well she won't have to worry about the GM adapter cost, that's strictly a data-bus issue with new vehicles. Sarah, why do you have to buy the kit? I would think the installer would take care of this for you. On a more helpful note, in my '94 Sunbird I cut the pocket out above the factory tape deck and installed the CD player in there. The CDs just clear the gear shift when loading/unloading ... doing this required only the wiring adapter. Now I have completely gutted the dash where the factory stereo and climate controls used to be and fitted the player up in there ... but that's a lot more money if you will be getting someone else to do the work. -- Dan Snooks |

![]() Ah! Thanks for all the responses. The place I bought the deck from offers free installation (Bestbuy, actually), but for some reason no one in the area seems to have or be able to reliably get their hands on a dash kit that will fit my car. I figured instead of waiting up to four weeks for someone to custom order it, I'd simply find one myself. The car has the tape deck separate from the radio unit, so it sounds like the new stereo will go there? I guess that _does_ make the most sense. ![]() Thanks again for the fast responses. This has been very helpful. -- SarahA ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SarahA's Profile: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/me...p?userid=33879 View this thread: http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/sh...d.php?t=155691 CarAudioForum.com - Usenet Gateway w/over one million posts online! |

This has been very helpful. Yup, but if your's is the same as mine was ... there is a pocket above the tape deck, that's the better location for the deck. If you put it down where the tape deck itself is, the discs will hit the gear shift when in park. Where are you located? I am in the Toronto area (Canada) and would be willing to do the install for you ... no need to buy an adapter at all. -- Dan Snooks |
