Regal_GS_1989 Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Any 95+ , 1.5 DIN Theftlock stereo, be it CD or cassette will work, with the excetion of the BOSE units. I'm not too sure how late they used those radios in the cars, but i know the trucks used them until 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1990lumina Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 the truck one's will not fit properly unless you break off the side mounting sliders and fab up something to hold at the front.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremy Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 the truck one's will not fit properly unless you break off the side mounting sliders and fab up something to hold at the front.... AFAIK: the mounting brackets should be removeable on all delco decks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Do the newer Delco radios with the built in chime module/oil change light/all that unneccessary crap that GM put into them, work with the older vehicles still? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToroToro Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Depends on how new. The only ones with the chime modules and such built in are the double din ones, with the new style connector. The ones we are speaking of here will work fine, but I believe a dimming wire needs to be changed for use in first gens. Anyway, like regal_gs said, any 95-02 theftlock will work fine in your 98 lumi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
