my 2000 Asto got totaled by a lady on her cell phone so i just bought a very nice '99. my 2000 had the stock ac-delco with cd player which i liked and my '99 has a tape. Can i get one w/ a cd player from the junk yard and just swap them, will it fit? how easy is this to do, i'm not a wiring genius?

Also, i would like to replace the front and rear carpets - any suggestions?

Welcome aboard. The radio swap should be a plug and play. Experiment at the junk yard. As far as the carpet goes, You'll have to poke around the search feature. I know there is some info on it, Just can't remember where. And again, Welcome to the site. Jim

Welcome! Maybe take your stock radio with you just to verify the new radio you want has the same plug setup. :shrug:

Welcome aboard!
I don't know about the radio, I'd agree with what's been said already.

I replaced my carpet with an area rug trimmed to fit, cost about $60. There's some pics in my gallery here. I will say this though- when you take out the old carpet, WEAR A RESPIRATOR OR DUST MASK!!! :!: There is who knows how much dirt and whatnot in and under there, and it's not something you want to breathe. I had sinus trouble for several weeks after doing mine.

X2 on area rug or like I did I went to Menards and found some carpet on sale for cheap. Its even got a little padding under it. :dance:

Nice 2 inch shag carpet with 2 inch padding, disco lights...

Sorry! I got lost in a flash-back...

:lol: :lol:

As far as the radios go. I didn't see that they changed much. I wouldn't think that they changed the wiring much at all then. :2:

i took a CD player out of a 2000 GMC Jimmy and tried to put it in my 2000 Astro. the electrical was exactly the same, the mounting bracket was different but it worked just fine.

looking at the S10s in my back yard, i think the electrical stays the same from 2000 to at least 1997, maybe 96.

i ended up putting in a Ford tape/CD combo into my van.
