Replacing factory stereo in 99 Pontiac Grand Prix?

Question

the original delco stereo in my car is starting to go (display screen doesn't always work; cd player is skipping). I'm not looking to get an aftermarket stereo just yet, but was wondering if it's possible to take a factory stereo from a newer model (like a 2004 or newer) Grand Prix and install it.

Answer 1

depends on it takes up the same amount of space. before messing with car electronics disable the air bag to avoid the risk of setting it off

Answer 2

its unlikely that the 2 are the same.  I would point you to www.clubgp.com its a national grand prix club website with a forum that you can ask this question.  Its a very populated site with knowlegable people that could definitely tell you for sure if it would work.

Answer 3

The plugs will match a radio from a Grand Prix up to 2003 (as long as it's not a Bose radio).  There's no chance of making a radio from a 2004 Grand Prix work in your car.  Not only are the new radios larger, with a different plug and different mount, they're controlled by the vehicle data bus system---which doesn't exist in your '99 Grand Prix.
