Guest Posted September 23, 2001 Share Posted September 23, 2001 where does the cd player install in the reatta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish89 Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 If it's a '90 or '91,it goes in the front part of the console where the littie "mini" glove box is. I'm not sure about an '88 or '89,maybe someone else can advise,if there was one available. If you need any info on installing one,let me know.<P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard S Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 Couldn't one save that little cubby by using a double din unit where the present one is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 I think the opening is 1.5 din, a double din stereo is too big. GM made a cross-platform 1.5 din AM/FM CD player that fits in the Firebird, Camaro, Buicks, etc. from around 1990 to around 1996, when the pushbuttons were updated. I found a really nice one on Ebay that was manufactured in 1994, it was brand new and sitting in a box all these years. It fits the opening perfectly and looks stock and uses the stock wire harness as well. Of course, it only takes CDs, but I don't miss the cassettes. Here's an example of a remanufactured one:<BR> <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1277217372" TARGET=_blank>http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1277217372</A> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfish89 Posted September 24, 2001 Share Posted September 24, 2001 If you're not particular(as I am),then the Camaro/Firebird unit is the answer ! I wanted to keep my Reatta ALL ORIGINAL as possible,so I got a CD player and wiring harness from a '90 Riviera and it fit perfectly. To me that little glove box loss is not missed and my Reatta is still original but again,I'm particular !<BR> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 My 89 has a 12 disc remote in the trunk resting on the trunk access panel. It has worked out very well expecially if you need to flop down the hatch to change any of the 12 out on a long trip. <BR>Tony, MPLS MN, "REATTA1" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
