1991 Corvette Radio

[Don W.]

Does anyone know where I could find a replacement radio as it is not working? Radio has power but does not produce any sound and antenna does not engage. The system is the original delco/bose radio. If you replace it would you also replace the speakers as well? By the way I reside in Ontario Canada. Also I have been told that the amps in the speakers go at about 100,000 km. I am at a loss what to do. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.

Re: 1991 Corvette Radio

I had a new Corvette back in 92 with, I'm guessing here, the same stereo as yours. Just before I sold it in 98, the stereo quit. I took it to a local automobile stereo shop, they took it out for me, sent it off to a repair facility they deal with, it came back a couple weeks later and they re-installed it and if I remember right it didn't cost me all that much. If you got an auto stereo shop in town, I'd let them take a look/see at it. Not having to take it out of the car myself was a big plus for me.

taking the radio is less then a 15 min job. its not all that hard. you remove all the screws for the shifter console. remove the center vent. place the console plate to the side(unless you remove the shifter knob), then remove the radio trim. remove the 4 screws that hold the radio. if its a auto pull the shifter back into 1st. then pull the radio out and unplug

Re: 1991 Corvette Radio

As noted, Doctor Don has a very quick turnaround. I sent the radio out of my 94 to get the CD player repaired on a Wednesday and received it back the following Wednesday (I am in Atlanta, he is in Texas.).

Having the original unit repaired is, BY FAR, the best way to go. In addition to the sources that others listed, I can suggest United Radio in Syracuse, NY. They are a Delco-authorized repair facility.

If you need speaker amps, they are available from most of the major C4 Corvette parts vendors like Corvette Central, Mid America, and Ecklers.

Re: 1991 Corvette Radio

Factory Car Stereo Repair in Florida does excellent work on rebuilding and refurbishing Corvette Bose equipment. Their prices are very reasonable and their turnaround is speedy. What's more, they will not try to sell you one of their in-stock radios or amps like some of the other mentioned shops will do. Check them out, you will not be sorry; I speak from personal experience.
