Good Morning All, I have a base am/fm cassette radio in my 2000 Deville. I have located a am/fm cassette/cd out of a 2000 Deville this radio is not a Bose. My Question is, Can I have my radio taken out and willthe replacement plug in and work without any hassels. Thanks and have a Great New Year, Jenny

 

if you have a bose now..... you should replace with the same......... i would think the bose system would have different plug-ins, wouldn't you..... being that it has its own amp, and speaker system.....
any case, welcome to the Forum ms jennifer.... i hope we can be of more help down the road... happy new year to you also!!!
hope to see ya 'round

No dealer will have to program it. It may or maynot be compatable with car.

 

In reply to rickyd, it's just a base (stock) radio thats in the car now I don't have a bose now and the radio I located is also a base radio , only difference is the one I want to put in has a CD, now to slowroll reply, If the dealer has to program it, do you know how much that will cost and does it have to be a dealer. Thanks again everybodythe car is stillin the shop for the trans leak, they seem to think it's the leftfront CV joint but their not sure, why did I know this was going to happen? AnywayHappy New Year to All, Jenny

 

Fox ... any ideas here?

Cost to program should be no more than 1 labor hour. $$$ per area varies from dealer to dealer and geographic area.

 

Are you getting a junked radio/cd player? you need to look for UR1 or UR7 - make sure it doesn't have the nav system - and it isn't a Bose - those aren't interchangeable.

 

I just did something similiar -

My 2K Deville had the AM/FM/Casette and Iupgraded to the AM/FM/Cassette/CDunit for $50.00 off ebay.

In my experience, I found it's a straight forward swap as long as you stay with the same type of radio.
If you have a RDS radio you will need to stay with a RDS, if you have a BOSE you have to stay with a BOSE and if you have the plain (base) radio you have to stay with that type.


You will have to have a Cadillac dealer reprogram the radio to accept the vin from your car so it doesn't lock up. I was charged $31.xx when I had it done.
