ReplacementRadios, one of the largest factory audio/video websites, has branched out!! If you’ve been to our site, you know we have a HUGE selection of OEM radios and compatible accessories. Now we’re offering a few select products here too. Same great ReplacementRadios quality.....in a new location.
They offered more than one plug style in some 1975+ vehicles. Check the plugs on your radio to make sure these are the ones you need! Seriously!! There are two plugs, as pictured. If your radio only requires one plug for operation, you risk having problems. Please don't say we didn't warn you...
These are replacement plugs for the original factory GM 12-prong/2-prong plugs found on the radio wiring harness of many 1973-1988 (and beyond, in some cases) vehicles. Wiring pigtails of approximately 6 inches are attached.
These would be used if your original plugs were cut off and you are trying to install a factory radio in the vehicle. This was the only 12-prong/2-prong plug combo offered by GM, so if you've counted 12 metal prongs in your radio main connector and also have a 2-pin connector, this is the harness kit you need.
These plugs will have the aftermarket standard wire colors, so wire assignment is relatively easy to identify on the plug side. (See the standard color chart in the pictures attached to this listing.) Identification of GM specific wires, as well as wires on the vehicle side will be up to you. A couple other notes: Our supplier sometimes casts the plug itself in a different color plastic. The main plug is also sometimes separated into three individual plugs. Obviously neither of these things have an impact on use. We're currently stocking the version (gray and black) from the main photo. Additional photos are provided for your reference ONLY. You are NOT receiving enough plugs to do two radios...
This style of plugs was used on most Cadillac, Buick, Chevy, GMC, Oldsmobile and Pontiac radios, starting in 1975. However, other plugs were offered in vehicles with special sound systems or with previous generation radios, so make sure to check your plugs. Especially if your system is labeled as anything special. (Bose, Symphony, etc.) See APPLICATIONS below for examples of vehicles that used the 12-prong/2-prong plugs, in some cases.
APPLICATIONS
If your vehicle is on this list, you can use this plug set, provided your vehicle wasn't equipped with a special sound system (like Bose). If you're unsure, check your radio to make sure it will accept these.
Please note it was not uncommon for GM to switch plug styles in the middle of a model year. So, in some cases, not all cars on this list will have this style in the last year listed. (If you have a 1989 Camaro, for example, you will want to make sure your car does not have a 20 or 21-pin plug before purchasing this plug set.)
Please also note there was more than one plug style offered in some 1975+ vehicles. Check the radio you're installing and make sure these are the plugs you'll need. Seriously!
