2004 radio question

the.dude · #1 06-18-2007, 08:48 PM

I've got an 04 gtp with the single cd single tape deck. I would like to know if its possible and what's involved in changing that to a different factory unit. I'd like to get a 6 disc changer off ebay or someting. Is it a matter of pulling one and inserting the other? Same question about the dual zone climate control unit.

On older Grand Prixs the multi CD changer was located in the trunk. As to the climate control system which one do you have stock?

I've got the run of the mill 3 knob climate control unit. I was hoping to find a dual region 'set the temp' style like I had on my 98, but couldn't find a GTP with it. Ditto on the sounds, I hate having a tape deck in my car, but I'm not really up to the task of doing much more than a swap if possible.

I have a factory cd radio in my 00' Pontiac Grand Prix SE, however, my rear speakers are out. How can I fix the problem. So, I notice severals wires in the back in the trunk are disconnected or detact. Can I just rewire it or what must I do first.

I'm not sure if it's plug and play, but the 6-disc is an in dash unit. All of the 04+ GP's use a double din connection, so as long as it's a double din deck, you should be ok.

If you have a CompG w/HUD, I'm not sure if there would be anything that you would have to do to calibrate it.

Just a quick note though, after reading a little more on this, you would need to have the dealer program it. And that is likely to cost quite a bit.

Hope this helps.

Hmm, I do have the HUD, But, I also have access to a GM Scan Tool, I'm starting to think it may be more trouble than its worth. I would really like to have the changer though.

Whether it is worth it is up to you. Even the pros are unsure. From what I see in this thread nothing but speculation since no one that replied has done it for sure.

One of my sources says it will work and would be plug n play but did not mention any scan tool programming with the exception of if Theftlock is enabled. But the CD player/radio does have 2nd Class serial data communications with the computer system - PCM and BCM. Also, the electrical jacks appear to be the same between single and 6 CD players.

Here is the second reply from another source ole Ed Morad:

best bet would be to ask the dealer.

We cant try and swap it into a car here because you have to have the dealer program the unit to the right vin for it to work.

I am sure it can be made to work and would guess its plug and play, but not 100%.
