Default Dr. Dons rocks!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not real big on stereo systems 'cause my hearing is pretty shot, but I do like my rock 'n roll while I'm cruisin'!!:cheers:

I finally bit the bullet and bought a Bose CD unit from Dr. Don, and it truly is a "plug 'n play" into my '87. It sounds great, fits like a glove, and keeps a factory appearance in my car.

I know there's a lot better out there, but this one works for my needs, and I had to give them their props!!!

Here's a pic:

Nice! I'm looking to do the same with my 96 so I've got a couple of questions:

First, who is Dr Don? Did a search of the internet and couldn't find a thing.

Second, you said the new Bose was a "plug n play" install. Was the old radio a Bose as well? I ask because I've got the AC Delco AM/FM/cassette in mine and have heard the Bose units have separate pre-amps and different speaker wiring and different connectors. If that's the case, it doesn't sound like it would be a "plug n play" installation for me.
Thanks

OK, after a LOT of digging, I found the answer to my first question:

Still need an answer to the second...
