Replacing the radio in the 89 Eliminator


Recommended Posts

Hello everyone. I've been away from the site for a long time, but I'm back.
Since the old radio stop working in the 89 Eliminator, I thought I would replace it.

Got an Audiovox out of an 86 Comanche Limited Edition (factory installed).
It has all the features. Any ideas?
Thanks everyone.  It's good to be back.

Are ya looking for an opinion on the radio or how to put it in? 
 

i mean if it works, toss it in for that 80’s/90’s aftermarket goodness and look. 
 

Though if I was swapping that in I would look to make an adapter harness so I wouldn’t lose the original wiring.

84-86ish is packard connectors

87-89ish uses metri packs

89-96 uses the Jeep/Eagle/Chrysler connector.

I'm not sure, I tried everything. But I'm gonna throw in the Audiovox anyway.  It's got the Auto-reverse cassette.  Cool.
I'm really old school. Bought my MJ off the show room floor in 1988, she and I have been everywhere.

don't throw away the old radio, especially if it was made in Japan.  chances are it can be repaired down the road  :L: 

 

 

Good idea.  Japan made great stereos back in the day. The 96 Audiovox was also made in Japan, I didn't know this.
