I'm definitely going to have to check more vehicles when I go back to the salvage yard now lol.
The Cadillac radios are an interesting bit of work, particularly the BOSE versions.. The CDM is the same physical size pretty much, but has no internal amps: The BOSE amps are attached to the speaker boxes! Four individual amps on the Caddy and Corvette BOSE systems. I really want to get my hands on one of these lol. I also don't know if any of those came with 5-band EQ. The non-BOSE CDMs seem to be the same as the truck CDMs tho.
@CorvairGeek I see THAT one has the 5-EQ
external CD player you say??? Hmm! I'm guessing the controls are on the deck itself?

Interesting! Given that, I wonder if it's compatible with the truck heads or CDMs. The display definitely isn't, obviously, considering there's no CD indicators. Would be kinda cool to see what it does lol. Also whether the EQ system on the car CDM works with the trucks digital EQ display. Thanks, now I am going to go find some more radios to hoard!
Oh, also just gonna throw this down here for the heck of it... How to adjust the tape player's playback speed. I'm not gonna get into the precision aspect of it but the quick version is this.

That hole in the top of the motor between the two ribbon cables is the adjustment hole. A small, preferably plastic, flat-blade screwdriver can be used to turn the motor's internal potentiometer to adjust the motor speed. I say preferably plastic because a metal one can ground out on the frame of the motor.. Which won't hurt anything, but will max out the motor speed when it happens lol.

Go clockwise to make it faster, counter for slower.
