1990lumina Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 So, I'm looking at trying to find a newer stock deck for my 1990 Lumina. I'm wondering why this deck won't fit http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=7962481979&category=38641 Is it to long or what??? The harness looks the same to me I think. Any ideas..and if any one has one in their car did you have any trouble installing it?? - Jeff L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoroCorona Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I do believe its got different mounts. I bet it would work, but youd have to have the theftlock deactivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darksyde Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 different mounts, different plugs, different antenna i believe and the theftlock. All can be made to work except the theftlock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90TGP Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 That's from a Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada, FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 it's doable. The plug is the same, but you'll have an issue with the digital display dimming. I just pulled the VF dimming wire and called it a day. THOSE RADIOS SOUND AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skiiirt Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 That is by far the ugliest steering wheel I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Does that style radio have problems with overload if there's too much bass? I've heard other stock decks cut treble if there's too much bass, etc. I like my Sony head unit, I got rid of the Pioneer because I don't wanna have to buy subs and new speakers when the Sony makes my stockers sound just fine.

sonyman87 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 the deck wont work b/c you dont have OBD2 system. the deck security and interface system is controled by OBD2 computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 What in the hell? My '94 has the Pontiac equivalent of that radio, and it's not OBD II. I've also seen that radio in Fiero's, Firebirds, etc complete with Theftlock working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrRodey Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 Theft Loc can be disabled. You need to take it to a dealer, and they usually charge $35-$50. Or you can PM me and I can get you the instructions to do it yourself for free, unless you want to send me something. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitaloutsider Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I've posted a tutorial on how to remove TheftLock in this forum previously. Search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also seen that radio in Fiero's, Firebirds, etc complete with Theftlock working. there are 2 different versions i believe. the one i pulled out of my lumina had no computer interface. the one in scotts 00 monte his computer uses the radio to clear codes, tirepreasure warnings and engine codes.

I've seen the RDS ones do that, but NEVER the 90's-type Chevy TheftLock type ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian P Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 This radio is NOT the type that interfaces with the BCM, if that's what you're asking. This radio's Theftlock is contained within the unit itself. If the previous owner didn't activate it with a code then it's like it was never there. Yeah that wheel is ugly, and the woodgrain cover makes it worse I actually had the pontiac leather one in there until I put it up for sale. But if you have the olds wheel with the 6 buttons and huge hornpad (that doesn't work half the time) now THAT is one ugly wheel. Not to mention it's as skinny as a wheel from a 30 year old tractor. At least that tan one has some girth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmo1234 Posted March 23, 2005 Report Share Posted March 23, 2005 I would say go for it. I put my brothers 2000 Malibu CD player in my 90 lumina back when I had it and it work fine and sounded great. All the important connectors were plug and play.. There was one extra connector coming out of the harness of the lum that I could not find a place to plug into the new radio but it worked fine without it IIRC there are three connectors coming from the car, two kinda square/rectangular ones that are plug and play... and the third real long and skinny rectangular that had no place to plug in on the new radio but it was ok anyways Oh yeah and the mounting brackets "almost" lined up (only 2 holes instead of 4) so I kinda just forced the screw in and then it straightend out as I tightened.. ... At least that tan one has some girth Its always about the girth huh? :shock: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
