audio install questions
Hi all,
My daughter has a 94 LT1 coupe that has the Delco Bose Gold Series stereo but it doesn't work. I bought her a Dual XMP 6000 for Christmas. I have read many other posts here on the subject of installing aftermarket stereos and radios and have learned that this isn't an easy job. I have managed to get the old stereo out and have purchased an install kit to help fill in the huge opening. I have also purchased a car stereo connector by Scosche that is suppose to work with this make and model of car but I don't see how it could work. It doesn't match up to the plug in the car. I would like an adaptor that would plug directly into the existing adaptor in the car. Do they make them? Can I purchase one of these adaptors? Thanks

t know much about this stuff at all....I do know that my 16 year old daughter doesn't have any tunes in her car and to her ...well...that is a sin!...LOL I am limited on funds but a quick learner. If I could please just get a little guidance. After reading alot of post on here, I find that you guys recommend replacing the whole entire bose system but at this point I can't afford to do that. I just want this stereo to work enough to keep her satified for a little while and with a little guidance I am hoping I can do this job myself.

Ok guys...you NEED to read the FAQ's section.....the wiring harness you bought will plug right in...TO THE RECEIVER!!!!......the harness behind the deck is nothing...Junk...ignore it...You need to find the receiver.It is either under the passenger side dash...or in the rear hatch area.Follow the antennae lead from the back of the car.You will find it underneath the carpet on the driver side.Thick black cable..silver rectangular box.You will notice it because it has the antennae lead plugged into it.
read the FAQ's first.....so you know what you are getting into..
