Radio minus 8 track player = ?
« on: September 20, 2010, 12:23:01 AM »
Probably a stupid question but I'm bad with electronics and I've never even seen an 8 track player.
Will my factory radio work without it?
It went missing somewhere in my Trans Am's colourful past...

I'm assuming you have the radio in the dash and had an 8-track in the console...?
Yes, the radio will work without the 8-track unit

I have the 8 track you need if you want to put your car back the way it was.
