wtb: stock cd player and cassette player, or trade for pioneer cd w/ detach. face Options

Please let me know if you have the stock cd player and cassette player and how much you want for them or if you would be interested in a trade. I also have the compartment that gives you an extra shelf so you don't have a hole in your dash that I will give you if you decide to trade.

Actually, they are not quite all the same, there were 10 different factory units used 94-99 years, all will fit and work. the better systems had a separate Amplifier mounted below the heater controls, best one had 2 separate amps. stock car harness plugs in to either the back of the radio or into the separate amp and there would be a 2nd short harness from the amp to the back of the radio. most units with the INTERNAL amp have some sort of finned aluminum heat sink on the back of the radio. so if you get one and the plug doesnt fit, you may need to unplug from the external amp and route the harness directly to the back of the radio or just the opposite, you may need to get the external amp and short harness piece. best to try to determine which you currently have.
Mine came with cassette only and the external amp. Original owner had an Alpine CD unit installed and they had plugged the alpine/Toyota adaptor harness directly to the car harness and bypassed the external amp. I now have a stock double din cd/cassette combo hooked to the external amp. Alpine didn't seem to have a dimmer option. just too bright at night.
Mine also had something called a "Diversity Antenna" which had 2 coax leads into the back of the cassette deck, per the parts microfiche, there is a 2nd antenna in the car body around the hatch, cant tell that it does anything better, reception is the same or worse as the Alpine with the standard power antenna hookup.
