Kr0nus Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 The place I went to had to take apart 3 kits to make one for my car. Good luck on finding a kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy_85stariones Posted May 6, 2004 Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 Because the factory stereos used in Eclipse, Laser, Talon, 3000GT, Stealth, Montero, Diamonte, etc. are indentical to ours, installation kits from those other models can be used.

charlie31603 Posted May 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2004 so all I have to do is buy a installation kit and wiering kit for a 1 gen eclipse and it will bolt in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indy_85stariones Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Wiring kits for Starion are still available from Scooche and Metawire. The part number for 1987 thru 89 model year should be the same as 1st gen DSM. Wiring kit is different for 1983 thru 86 model year. I am not aware of any hardware kit for Starion. However, a kit for 1st gen DSM will work. To answer your question, Yes - if your Conquest/Starion is 1987 or newer, purchase an installation kit for a 1st gen DSM. BTW - you can keep your factory SWC, if you purchase an aftermarket headunit with i/r remote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie31603 Posted May 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 Thank you indy! I have an 87, so I'll just go out and get a kit for a 1gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeteeracer Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 try crutchfield.com ,it's free if you buy a radio there. i'm gonna get a radio from them and they'll throw in the installation kit and the wiring stuff. check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie31603 Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I've tryrd erveybody and nothing. The wiring kit works dead on! But the installation kit is a deffrent story. It's just shoved in there and put a cuple screws to hold it. I'm just wored about banging the next gear and to have the radio pop out :. I was thinking of buying the radio and have bestbuy install it for free. But my friend is a maneger at pepboys and they were clearing out the display wall, so I got a new cd player 2 5 1/4's and 2 6 1/2's ( all sony xplod) for 50 bux! ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfro Posted July 25, 2004 Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 i tried to take my car to circuit city, but they said they had to rewire my whole car... the harness works from a 1g eclipse, but there is a 3rd plug which is black that doesnt go anywhere, so they wanted to charge me 300-400 bux HELP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speed racer Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Re-wire the whole car...............uhhhhhhhhhh............stay away from those guys.Sounds like they just didn't want the business or they are complete idiots.Having worked in a couple shops back in the day and on my own;it really bugs me to hear that kinda crap from people. When I got my car it had a din GM radio in the hole that wasn't even hooked up.All the wires were cut.Plugs long gone.Not a big deal.Spent 30 minutes testing a bundle of wires and pieced together a mounting kit.Worked just fine.Back then had no idea of using a 1gen eclipse kit(11 years ago) Gonna use the eclipse kit this time around I suppose for the head unit.Gonna mount a CD changer in the glove box.Gonna build box in back seat area and have use of my hatch area for my airplanes(small electric r/c) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vbrad511 Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I can't speak for the SQ ap's, but I tried some off brand kit for my Ranger some years ago and things fit horribly. I was reffered to a Metra kit after that. Bought it, installed it, looks great and worked like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazan StarQuest Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Just so that I'm sure I understand, the stereo mount (that is, the item that actually holds the stereo console in place) for a first generation eclipse can be used for the StarQuest? If not, is there a mount made for another vehicle that can be used? I'm having a hard time finding one for either the Starion or Conquest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ESi_R_Man Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 theres a few other options at hand as well, like a universal import pocket to take up the space where the bottom half of the deck was, or a small 2.5x7 sheet of ABS plastic and some duramix 40/40 to plastic weld it on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuck641 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 There are wiring harnesses made for these cars. when I got mine I went in and asked for a wiring harness for an '88 chrysler conquest and they had it. It doesn't have the connector for the steering wheel controls but most aftermarket radios wont work with those controls anyway. Superfro: the black plug that doesn't go anywhere is the one for the steering wheel controls .. you don't need it. just get the 1g kit that worked and hook up the stereo yourself, it is very easy and the package for the wiring harness will tell you what wire colors to hook to what.
