Anyone have a factory radio they don't want?

Matter of fact I do. I think. I just swapped out my factory am/fm/cassette for a pioneer unit a few weeks ago. I don't think I trashed it I know I trashed those pos speakers. If one from 2001 will fit post back or pm me and I will double check in the garage and for the mere price of nothing plus shipping it could be yours.

I have the AM/FM with cassette... but with all the CD's that we have I would love to have one with the CD player. I want one that came stock so that all the wires will connect right up.

You have to be careful because some systems (if not all) have the amps at the speakers and not in the radio. You might hook up the radio and have very reduced volume. THere are threads out there on that subject if you do a search. I was going to do what you wanted but found out I would have to spend a lot more to upgrade the speakers with Amps. Opted for the aftermarket radio with internal amp. Good luck.

Consider installing a cd changer, I just installed one (a Sony) that connects through the radio antenna (FM modulated sound).

Includes a spifey little control head that you can mount where ever, to start, stop forward, reverse, skip etc. , and adjust output.

I originally mounted under drvr seat (w elecs), but it was very tight, so I reinstalled under QC rear seat.

10 discs it's marvelous!

Most stereo shops sell adapters that plug into the factory harness. All the one's I"ve seen and used give explisit pictures for the correct wiring. Most of the adapters even follow the same color code as the truck, and the pig tails on the deck!
