late 90s Delco CD Radios (Page 2/2)

I've also used the late 90's deck in one of my Fieros, the other I went with the early 90's version below. This one is on ebay with an outrageous price tag (modified with Bluetooth), at least to me. Generally, the earlier deck matches the original cassette deck better I think but either is a good choice.

I agree, I prefer these as well. This is the one I bought for my Fiero, and while it doesn't have Bluetooth, it does have an AUX jack that you can install in the center console... such as if you wanted to hook up your phone or something.

Jason, BTW, that blood red interior looks awesome. are you using red bulbs for the under dash lights? is that red carpet?




Thanks! They are red LEDs. Carpet is stock grey I think it adds a little flair to the footwells.

I did this exact same thing like 20 years ago... but I took a red permanent marker, and just colored the bulbs red. I also colored the interior plastic lenses in the overhead for the two center lights as well. Most people thought it was cool, but I got some flack back in the day saying it was like a ricer. Hahah...

But I agree, I think it adds a bit of flair to the car.


I remember the 5-Series BMW also has a red light that illuminates down into the center console at all times in order to provide some light in the cabin, but not affect the driver's vision. I believe it comes from the rear-view mirror.
