When you just have to listen to NPR over your brand new radio.
By D. P. Martin
So here's what happened. I bought an aftermarket stereo and installed it in my 1994 Chevy Suburban. I bought the dash panel replacement part (from Amazon of course), and the radio delete cup thingy (also from Amazon and also of course) and thought that I was set. Well, when I installed the new stereo, I'll be doggone if I couldn't find the stock male antenna plug. Upon surfing the Weird Wide Web, I found out that GM split up the stereo system in their mid 90's trucks into not two like I originally thought, but THREE different pieces/parts. The tape deck/equalizer in the middle of the dash, the radio above the climate controls and way up under the dash just above the gas pedal is the last piece, the receiver. That is where the stock antenna cable plugs into the whole sound system. You'll have to remove the ashtray from the dash (4 little bolts) to get to it, unplug that, snap on the adapter and plug the whole shebang into your new radio and before you know it... you can hear radio broadcasts from NPR, or smooth jazz hits from the 40's. Cycle through the dial and see what there is to listen to. You may even be able to find someone blathering on about politics or the economy or even church. I do have to comment on the sale price versus the shipping costs. I can't put actual numbers on here, but look closely and you'll see what I mean. Either way, it's worth the money. Best Buy didn't know what I was talking about when I tried to find it there (thanks for the blank stares Ashley), Wallmarks had some octopus looking thingy that would have worked but cost 800% more than I spent on this (see my comment above about selling price versus shipping cost).

Does The Job BUT...
By R. Martyn
Does The Job BUT...in my situation, which I presume will be the same for many, the antenna sticks out quite far out of the rear of the radio making it difficult to achieve a flush fit. Otherwise, a GREAT BUY.

Check your make, model, and year before purchase
By J. Rhodes
Metra products work as advertised and are of good quality, but you have to get the right product for your vehicle. In this case, the product is marked for GM vehicles 88 and up. However, I guess there were changes in late model vehicle radios and this product didn't work (in my case a 2009 Chevy Silverado). If you go to Metra's web site and put your make, model, and year in, you will get the right product and then can purchase from Amazon. Guess the packaging for this product hasn't caught up with recent changes in models. Because I was in the middle of a installation yesterday and didn't want to wait on a new product by mail, I was able to get the correct adapter at a local discount auto store.
