1996 Lumina 3.1L - Radio Swap
Wife had expressed a wish for a radio with CD to replace her AM / FM only factory radio .
Went by Walley World after work . They had a Kenwood on sale . Pick it up , with an install kit and wiring harness connector . Came with 2 speakers , which I am not sure where I will use them . Car has the standard 4 speakers . ( Radio & speakers for the sale price of $ 50.00 ) .
Valentines Day Present .
I soldered and heat shrank the wiring , pulled off the dash and started on the install kit . Seems like the install kits are more trouble than most of the rest of these projects ?
Got it installed & playing . Sounds good , but I do not drive it enough to know if it sounds better then the factory radio ? Bit it has CD , mp3 & wma capability .
Ran out of daylight before I got the dash on . think that is going to be a chore ? :-(
God bless
