GM radio interchangeability |
|
|
Where could I find what model General Motors factory AM/FM Cassette &
CD systems would fit my inlaws 2001 Century?
ie: Would a 2001 LeSabre unit (looks the same) fit?
Thanks in advance!

Nope. The LeSabre uses a completely different power/speaker plug and a
different antenna connector. You need a double-din chassis radio with a
32-pin plug. You can find them in several Oldsmobiles, Cadillacs and
Buicks, 1994-2000. The Century was one of the last models using that plug. |

Yikes! Thanks - glad I asked.
Now I have to hope someone outbids me over the next 5 days on
Ebay.....while I continue to look for the "right" model. |

Just cancel your bid and say "unit not compatible with your car" |

Naaah - if it doesn't fit I'll just relist it myself. I've never
renegged on a bid. |

That's the BLUE one as opposed to white? |

Yes. The 01 LeSabre actually uses a set of contacts instead of a plug,
IIRC. But the 32-pin plug is usually blue. |
