jim Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Is there an in dash AM/FM CD radio that fits a '96 DeVille and still have the steering wheel controls work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy99 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Nope. If you want to keep the steering wheel controls you'll have to keep a factory head unit. I got that question a lot when I worked as an installer. Sorry. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim Posted January 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Will a factory head unit from a newer model caddy interchange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audioguy99 Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 If it's in the same model/series or whatever you call it (like the Sevilles and Eldos 92-95 are mostly the same, maybe Devilles 96-98??) I would think so, but you'd just have to check the bolt pattern/size for mounting and the plugs for a match. It would probably have to match the type of radio...if you have a Bose system then you'll need the same Bose/Delco Gold (or whatever it is) radio. Hope this gives you some help.

MIke D Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 The company PAC has a unit that will interchange all headunits and still keep the controls. The product is the SW3. I have seen it used on many GM products including the Seville with the bose Gold. I have not seen the unit on the Deville but It is the same technology. Go to a local shop and they will be able to tell you more.. I have even seen this work with newer radio's that use a remote. Enjoy.

Scotty Posted January 2, 2005 Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 Mike D, that is what I have recently heard, that you CAN keep the steering wheel controls, Mike As a matter of fact here it is at Crutchfield! http://www.crutchfield.com/S-fWP5THDRpFV/c...18900&I=127SWIX Compatibility: The SWI-X interface allows you to retain the use of your steering wheel radio controls when replacing the factory head unit in select GMC, Chevrolet, Pontiac, Buick, Cadillac, Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Acura, Honda, Audi, BMW, Jaguar, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Range Rover, Saab, Volkswagen and Harley Davidson vehicles. http://www.pac-audio.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
