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!!
These are 'reverse' plugs for the original factory GM 12-prong/2-prong plugs found on the radio wiring harness of many 1975-1988 (and beyond, in some cases) vehicles. Wiring pigtails of approximately 6 inches are attached.
These would be plugged into your existing radio plugs in order to convert to an aftermarket radio. This was the only 12-prong/2-prong plug combo offered by GM, so if you've counted 12 metal prongs in your main 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.) Simply snap this into place over the factory plug and mate up the wires with the like colors on your aftermarket radio harness. One other note: Our supplier sometimes casts the plug itself in a different color plastic. Obviously that has no impact on use.
This style of plug 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 plugs to make sure they will plug in these. We have provided a close-up of the plugs in one of the images in this ad.
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 the 12-prong plug 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!
