SOMEONE, Anyone Answer this ? PLEASE

[Fusion]

Alright. I have a 96 camaro with Bose, it also has a tape player right now. I need to get a CD player HEad Unit. Now I would like to get a GM sized one. THere are several Monsoon HeadUnits for sale in the for sale section. Now I need to know if the Monsoon head unit will work with my car completely. Kinda like plug and play. Is the wiring the same, and the other stuff the same? I need to know PLEASE. Im begining to think that NO one knows the answer to THIS! ARGH

[whiteshark]

well, sorry to let you down, but i don't know either. however i do have a suggestion, i would try to contact delco (if i'm not mistaken the bose players said delco/bose on them), or maybe monsoon. that'd be the easiest way i would think, maybe not. good luck tho.

edit: i would highly suggest an aftermarket hu. it really doesn't look bad at all, and they're at least as good performance wise, better if you get a decent one.

Well...i havent heard from you in a while so my MONSOON is GONE. BUT there are MANY people in the FOR SALE section selling them as cheap as i was so there shouldnt be a problem getting one. AS for whether or not it will work...I still havent found out,, ive heard more NO's than YES's so i dunno. Why dont you just Buy a BOSE headunit? or buy an aftermarket one?

I suggest you just get an aftermarket HU. I know JVC makes a head unit that fits directly in the dash without any modifications.

Besides...WHY do u want a Monsoon anyway? UGH ****ty.

[Reverend_Ezekiel]

Alpine, Pioneer, and Jensen all make full sized 1.5 DIN HU's. They fit perfectly in the oversized GM/Chrylser sized holes. Much better quality than the crappy Monsoon system.

I agree it's better to upgrade. But I have seen many rigged up jobs where a Toyota factory head unit has been put in a GM or Ford. It can be done. You just have to know the wiring colors for the one your outting in, and the one that came with your car so that you can make sure all the right wires are spliced...Colors could be confusing.

I also suggest that you go with an aftermarket HU & speakers (you'll have to do both with the Bose system) It will be worth it.

Factory = CRAP

OK, does anyone know where i can get a cheap Stock BOSE HU then. I dont want an aftermarket one cause of $$ they are quite expensive. I was lookin at gettin the monsoon cause many people in the for sale section had them for a good price? HELp [img]smile.gif[/img] Thanks

EBAY or EBAYMOTORS!!!!!! There is always 93-96 BOSE cd head units!! Check it out, if there isn't one now, there will be one by the end of the week. Later Michael

edit: Go to ebaymotors.com, type in camaro cd player, under search, and there you go $50 starting bid, don't get the Monsoon!

I've got mine laying around..... e-mail me if you're interested. It's the tape deck model.

[96firebird311]

There are decent aftermaket CD players for around $100 brand new. And these have WAY more options then stock and probably RCA outs! How much were you planning on paying??

[Fusion]

Not over $200 cause Its pointless to put something to expensive in there. Well what is the best GM or Delco One they make or Give me some of the ones you guys have?

[bpipe]

always keep this in mind you get what you pay for with car audio. unless of course you come across the deal of the century. my best advice buy an aftermarket unit and speakers. and spend a day rewireing the car. it is a world of differnce
all so for your wire get some quality stuff don't go cheap. if you do it, save up some money and do it right. don't try the quick fix method it never works

Hey Hackerboy22, I would go aftermarket. Don't blow your money on a factory deck. Just save another hundred or hundred fifty bucks(in addition to your 200) and buy a decent deck. Then get a mounting kit and a wire harness and do the install. It's easy as hell, and it'll sound ten times better. It's easy to wire around the factory amplification too. Plus, if you ever decide to add some subs, you'll have preouts to wire in an amp or two. If you do decide to go with the factory deck, I'll find wiring layouts in my Engine mechanics class for you. I'm pretty sure it would wire up easily. Oh, yeah, this is beefyboobies. I'll IM ya later.
