Default Radio

I may need a new radio, I have the Monsoon with the CD changer and like the way it matches the interior and the red lights.

Is another made that will match the dash, interior lights (red), looks like it belongs in the dash, will control the power antenna and CD changer and plug in to the existing wire harness?

I have a WS6, black interior and like most WS6 owners, I am picky and dont want nothing that wont work right.

Recomendations please

You should post in the Stereo & Electronics section. But I'd like to know too. You can always just get another Monsoon head unit from GM.

unless it's a GM pontiac radio, the answer to your question is no.

the GM radios are dark gray .. most aftermarkets are black.

most aftermarkets are DIN sized where GM radios are 1.5 DIN.. so a filler panel will be needed.

this will look like an ad-on.

any aftermarket radio can control a power antenna.

Yea, the power antenna goes to the same wire that an amp would go to.
I have two cables on the back of mine, one is P. Cont. and the other is A. Cont.
power for amp, and they when i had a firebird i had my power antenna on it.


But i dont think you can get anything better to look stock..
