Hey all. I'm sort of partial to the 2003 and newer Delco CD/AM/FM stereos. My current Theftlock stereo is giving me fits and most of the lights are burnt out. I'd like to upgrade to a newer junk-yard pull or ebay find.

Question is will the stereo from a late-model S-10 fit in a 2000 dash opening/bracket set-up? Or do modifications need to be made? Thansk in advance.

 

im pretty sure it'll fit.


If any modifications are needed it'll be minimal

 

will fit fine.only diff will be the wiring harness. newer ones will be the 70-2003 and others will be 70-1858. Can give you hte actual wire colors if you need to hard wire it.

 

So it won't be plug and play? Hmm. How much wiring work will be needed? If I recall, they don't give you much room to work with on the factyr harness....

 

not muck work, in fact, i think almost all of the wiring will be the same, just a diff plug.

 

You can buy a wiring harness adapter from a g.m. dealer for this. It will have a female plug to match the male plug in your factory harness and a male plug on the other end to match the new radio. They cost about $40.00-$50.00 IIRC. This is a direct bolt-in, but you will also need to have it programmed by a dealer because the newer style radios actually have the VIN programmed into them for the theft feature (they do this so you can disconnect the battery/loose battery power without having to get it unlocked).

 

or you can but the correct end from metra. let me know and i can get you the right one depending on the year radio that you get.

 

Thanks guys, good to know. I thought just by looking that the newer stereo required a bigger opening than the '00 dash has. So I should be able to mount up with the brackets it has?

 

you can fudge with the mounts. I have a box of those in my garage.

 

I'm looking at one out of an '04 Trailblazer. Think it will fit with the same amount of finagiling?
