stew Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 here are a few pics of it with my cappy and my bro's Dakota R/t Brian Quote
slick Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Nice looking lumina. Definately time to upgrade the stereo though. Any more pictures of the Dakota? Quote
stew Posted August 29, 2004 Author Report Posted August 29, 2004 I know, will a factory CD player be a direct bolt-in for the base radio? I love the factory unit in my 96 Cappy and notice in the manual the Lumina uses the same one, but would the wiring be direct? You can see pictures on users.mikrotec.com/firebird, tons of pictures of all our previous vehicles and also on my old site, gowron.tripod.com Dakota just got back from a nice engine rebuild :D Still going through break-in though, but......

DiscoStudd Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 The 95-01 Luminas have the same stereo harness connector as virtually all GM's from 89-95. I do believe the Caprice's CD stereo has the same mounting brackets on it as the Lumina's stereo, so I'm almost positive it would be a direct replacement. Piece of advice, removing the dash bezel is fairly straightforward, but getting it back on (around the steering column) is a pain in the ass. It helps to loosen the 2 steering column mounting bolts about 1/2 an inch to lower the column and make it a little easier to reinstall the dash bezel... Quote
EurosportZ34 Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Hrmmm....lemme guess a 95 or 96 Lumina, correct? Not a bad looker, that silverish color has come presence. Definately need to upgrade the stereo man, I can't believe it didn't even come with a tape deck...that musta been the base base option for the stereo. Quote

Wouldnt a 95 Z34's CD Player fit right in there with no problem as well ? Quote
GutlessSupreme Posted August 29, 2004 Report Posted August 29, 2004 Nice Lummie That Dak is hawt :shock: I'm never usually a fan of lowered trucks, but it's an R/T so it's all good Quote
DiscoStudd Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Wouldnt a 95 Z34's CD Player fit right in there with no problem as well ?Yep, sure will. If it has side brackets like these radios, then it will bolt right in: Quote
White93z34 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 almost any gm HU will bolt in, you may have to change the mounting brackets but as long as both cars have the 21 pin connector your set, and both that your talking about should time to option that car out, the deluxe gauge package, mabie a z34/LTZ/9c3 dual exhaust setup, power windows / locks if its got it, if console shift was avaliable.... aaah i'm outa control Quote

In my view, if you want a spec'd out Loomie, then just buy a fully loaded LTZ cause it'll cost you less in the long run... Quote
slick Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 Now that I think about it, i still have my tape deck from my '94 Grand Prix, if your interested. Quote
jeremy Posted August 30, 2004 Report Posted August 30, 2004 looks good.....lots of GMs in the background too... Quote
