Need factory Stereo Options Explained for a '99
My newly acquired used car is in the shop for trans so I thought i'd do some audio research while waiting for it.
The aftermarket Alpine bluetooth unit the car came with was causing wiring problems for the rest of the car and has been removed. I plan to replace it with a stock unit
My factory option code is U1S translates to ...Multiple CD player
I also see on my cars list of different factory codes..UL0 which translates to..AM/FM Stereo Cassette w/Auto Reverse and Search
when deciphering the whole list of available factory option codes I also see: UN0 ..AM/FM/CD Stereo ..This basic unit is what I think I want.
All I have now is a hole in my dash, I haven't looked to see if I have a multiple CD stacker somewhere in the car. Doesn't look like the original speakers have been changed.
I like the idea of a simple unit, so UN0 sounds like the way to go. I do have old cassettes I'd like to play, but I don't trust car cassette players in general. My cassettes are vintage recordings of my Bands and I can't afford to risk damage to them.
Any input is appreciated..Thanks

PM me with your phone number and I will explain everything for you including options.
Have you tried looking at your owners manual for where a factory CD changer is located? If you don't have one you can find Pdf versions on the internet for free. Don't have the link now since I am not home.

I just want an in-dash unit..am/fm stereo plus one CD is fine, I haven't looked in the back of my Coupe yet. I guess the CD stack thing must be back there somewhere..? I really don't play CD's anyway. I'm a musician..I get enough music at work..

You would have to research how to unlock the head unit if required to put in another vette. Let me know...

Thanks anyway I got a killer deal on a unit from Marc at Vettenutz. I got the cassette version as that is what my car had originally. I got the 12 CD changer in my back well. Don't understand how it can "eat" CD's ??

Don't worry, the unit will show you. I think more of these units don't work versus those that do.
