when i get my 1979 cadillac coupe deville, im gonna need to replace the 8
track with a cd or tape player for ipod hookup. i dont want to have to put
an antenna on the windshield, could i still have it on the power antenna?

ScottysDetailing says:

I would rather go the other way around. Rip out the CD junk and replace the
8 track deck!

ScottysDetailing says:

yes, and it still works too.

Can you do this with a 1978 Cadillac Seville?

instead of cutting wires i would of went with the aftermarket harness that
plugs in to the stock harness it’s easier and alot better than splicing but
they are a little expensive

ScottysDetailing says:

To go from a 8 track from the 70’s to a CD player in the year 2000
something has got to give right?

i am trying to dismember my 99 1980 oldsmobile and i could not understand
how to figure out the size of the bolts, should i just use an adjustable
wrench or what?

I just watched your view of how to replace an OE Cadillac 8 Track with a CD
player. Do you still have the old 8 Track Cadillac unit. I would be
interested. Thanks

no need for a power ant. On this video our clients factory power ant. Was
not working so we opted for a 20.00 instead of fixing the factory one.
F.Y.I if you install a aftermarket radio you will need to hook up the
factory power antenna to power.

ScottysDetailing says:

Yes you can keep the factory antenna, but you will need to use a relay.
Because this old cadi has a double switch antenna so the power swicthes for
up and down. This client did not want to fix the broken power antenna at
the tune of 150 bucks. So we did the tape antenna for about 20 bucks. So I
hope that helps electric relay can be tough to install so you might want to
get the cd player installed by a technication.F.Y.I. Good luck!!

ScottysDetailing says:

some of my clients are cheap and don’t want to pay extra $ for more wires.
i showed how to hard wire this stereo because that what my subs were asking
for . Sorry if i had a choice and this was my car i would have done it with
a wire harness.

can you make a video showing how to do this with a 1996 Cadillac Eldorado ?

ScottysDetailing says:

I guess if you have alot of old 8 tracks to listen to.

spanishgypsy1988 says:

ive got an 84 deville that im about to install a head unit in and was
wondering…is it necessary to install the power antenna? or could i get
away with using the original one?

ScottysDetailing says:

The vents need to be prayed out from the sides.

ScottysDetailing says:

The antenna is not that hard, what is your question?

Marcquel Harris says:

Man i cant get my vents out for nothing they slide back but not foward
