Title: stereo interchangeability
Post by: monterey1962 on November 17, 2005, 12:18:34 AM
Just picked up an '87 Cougar LS tonight.  So far I like it.  EFI 302.  94K miles.  Fully loaded.

The stereo crackles when you turn the volume .  I have a factory stereo that I pulled out of my '88 Grand Marquis this summer.  They look the same (tape deck/stereo).  Are they interchangeable?  Does the '87 Cougar have the same ground system that the '88 Grand Marquis has?  If I try it, will it in anyway risk effecting the digital dash? 

Thanks.

Gah! Search.  I'm so excited about my "new" car I forgot.  Thanks. :)

I'll have to check to see if my Cougar has Premium sound.  The stereo from my '88 GM had Premium.
