1988 Milano Verde OEM (Clarion) radio question

iracema1 · #1 (**permalink**) 10-15-2007, 10:43 AM

Dear Listers:
I have a question: Are the factory radios in the Milanos identical throughout the production run (1987-1989)? I know they are Clarion products, but does anyone know the model number?
Thanks much
Cheers
Andy
P.S. want to locate and install original radio, a purist here!

Oh yeah, and can anyone confirm that ALL radios will activate power antenna? thanks again

There were some cosmetic differences - the early radios had silver button (1987) and the later ones had black buttons.

They all should activate the antenna.

I think that I know of a radio that may be up for sale, as the person put an aftermarket unit into his 89 milano. I know that I have one just sitting, but I'm not ready to part with it yet.
