CD-player in a Pontiac Bonneville -90

Hello.



I live in sweden and I have a Pontiac Bonneville -90. It has the original casette-stereo mounted. I wonder if anyone know how I can do to get a CD-player in my car. I am quite happy with the speakers så it is just the CD I am looking for. Pioneer has two models (DEHP47DH and DEHP77DHR) that are GM-fit and would be easy to install, but the tuner doesn't come with swedish/european standard... Anyone know if it is possible to modify? Or do any of you know of a better solution? I am looking for the exact functionality as the original, but with a CD. It wouldnt be a problem to install any regular CD, but then the controls in the steering-wheel wouldnt work, and here in sweden all the stereos on the market is 1din, not 1,5din.



Any suggestions are appreciated.

Pontiac did offer an optional UA1 AM - FM CD stereo with equalizer in

1991. Not sure how easy it would be to locate a used one if you were interested in a factory radio.

What is the frequency stepping in Sweden?

If listening to CDs is all that is desired perhaps an FM modulated CD stacker is an option?

We have a 0,1 stepping..... For what I have understood the american stepping is 0,2 so that only odd frequencied (99,9 100,1 100,3) can be used. Not

100.0.... Correct me if I am wrong.

Well, I have tried FM modulated CD and it wasnt as good as I expected. So that is not an option.

Oh...

If playing CDs is all it'll be doing the Pioneer is a great buy, but as a tuner its useless.

I had a Pioneer DEH-P59DH in my Fiero, the sound quality was excellent and CD playing was primo, but the tuner was unuseable for that very reason - the .2MHZ stepping - NZ uses the 0.1MHZ system too.

I investigated a frequency adapter but you can't get a crystal low enough to pull it off.
