Product Description:
Upgrade your 1985-1992 Pontiac Firebird with a modern Double DIN radio while maintaining the factory-style appearance of the original dashboard. This Starbuck Innovative Designs radio installation kit includes an injection-molded OEM-style radio bezel and aluminum mounting brackets.
Two bezel configurations are available to accommodate the different factory heating and air conditioning control panels used in third-generation Firebirds.
SELECT YOUR HVAC CONTROL STYLE:
- Standard / Manual A/C Controls - SID-034KIT: For vehicles with the wider factory analog heating and air conditioning control panel.
- Digital Dash / Electronic A/C Controls - SID-035KIT: For vehicles equipped with the narrower factory electronic HVAC control panel. Confirm the manufacturer part number before publication.
IMPORTANT: The two bezel configurations are not interchangeable. Verify your vehicle's original HVAC control panel before ordering. Only the selected version is included.
