Couple of questions

jgreen · 10-30-2009, 06:27 PM

I picked up a 2000 LS S10 yesterday.
1) It came with one key, no remotes. I checked the glove box for the au0 code for keyless and it does not have it nor does it have power locks.
What are good kits for keyless entry and power locks? is there a combo unit? What have you guys used to make them power locks?

2) On the cd player OEM radio, there are a few lights out behind the "SEEK" , "1 2 4 5" buttons, so at night i cannot see what iam pushing and its annoying.
What are the bulbs that replace these and how do i go about doing this?

Thanks

bump, ill be getting my new gauge cluster with tach within next week so when i have my dash off ill be wanting to fix this.

IMO find factory power lock actuators and latches, they arent that hard to swap, i did my power windows at the same time.

okay cool, thanks. also, what the part number or the bulb number for the bulbs i need to replace behind my stereo buttons?

upgrade to an aftermarket stereo.

id think once you pull the radio to replace or fix the bulbs your going to need to put some sort of code into the factory radio once you hook it back up. im sure you dont have the code and the dealership here charged us 60 for the code for our cavalier. also, i think to change the bulbs you will have to open the stereo up, im not positive about that but seems like to much more work and money for a stock stereo.

i dont think so, i think you can just change the bulbs....

okay, if i did go the aftermarket route, what would be a good head unit. i only have a reg. cab 2000 s10. and maybe ill be getting one of those pre-built sub boxes for behind my seat, but thats down the road a bit. What is a good headunit with ipod and AUX inputs? the max ill pay is $250. I want a cd player in it too. I dont have a clue about anything with this and i got to learn to help me out.

im getting the kenwood kdc-x692 its got rear aux/usb input that you can route basically anywhere

tyhodge07 · 11-03-2009, 04:26 PM

id stick with kenwood, pioneer or alpine.. thats my opinion tho, but all of them are nice quality h/u's in your price range with what you want. i believe there may be a kenwood with the hook ups you want in the classifieds on here right now.

old_skool_noma · 11-05-2009, 05:49 PM
