    Aftermarket stereo?

    I've recently bought a 94 MGM that i'd like to put an aftermarket radio in. Now the last mgm I had (a 1991), i had to rewire all of the speakers because of the factory "premium" sound system. Am I going to have to do the same with this car? Or can I just buy the wiring adapter and just "plug and play?"

    Depends on what options the car has, I'm not sure how the 94 compares to the 91.
    My 91 does not have the premium sound and required no rewiring other than the soldering 2 adapters together to connect between the stock harness and the radio connectors.

      How do I know if my car has the premium sound? I don't believe it says it on the radio.

        pull the radio. if you see two rectangular 8-pin connectors that are the same general shape, it's standard. If it's got one of those and a smaller 8-pin connector... still standard. If it's got more than that, then it gets wonky.
