If you would like to change your OEM Radio or NAV Head Unit read this:


Many people try to change there radios but they don't know which is the right one or which one should they go for because there is more than 50 GM part number for these Radios.

To make sure the Radio plays right it need to be coded to the right speaker system that in the vehicle, we will need your speaker code. To find the speaker Code you will need to look at Service Parts Identification label that is Found in the you car glove box.

UQ7- ANALOG BOSE AMP
UQA-SAME AS UQ7 (FOUND IN SOME SUV)

1. EXAMPLE PHOTO BELOW, THE SPEAKER CODE IS A UQ7 THE RADIO CODE IS UB1, THIS VEHICLE CAME WITH AM/FM/CASS/CD RADIO WITH ANALOG BOSE AMP YOU WOULD ORDER A RADIO SET UP FOR UQ7 YOU CAN GO BACK TO A CASS/CD OR UPGRADE TO A CD6 OR NAV RADIO.

3. SOME SUV VEHICLES LIKE A TAHOE WILL ONLY HAVE THE RADIO CODE AND NOT A SPEAKER CODE, IF YOU HAD A CD6 RADIO WITH A ANALOG BOSE SYSTEM YOUR CODES WOULD BE UC6 RADIO AND UQA SPEAKER, THE REPLACEMENT RADIO WOULD BE AM/FM/6DISK WITH A UQ7/UQA. IF YOU HAVE THE SAME TAHOE WITH OUT THE BOSE YOU MAY ONLY HAVE THE UC6 AND NO SPEAKER CODE, THE REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AM/FM/6 DISK WITH A UQ3/UQ5 WHAT WILL WORK IN YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU HAVE A UQ3 OR UQ5 YOU CAN USE A UM7, U1C, UBO/UNO, UB1/UPO AND UC6 IF YOU HAVE UQ7, UQA, Y91 OR Y92 YOU CAN USE A UB1/UPO, UC6 OR A NAV ON A Y91 OR Y92 YOU MAY ALSO HAVE THE UQ7/UQA THIS JUST MEANS THE UQ7/UQA STANDS FOR A BOSE SYSTEM, AND Y91 OR Y92 IS THE TYPE OF BOSE SYSTEM.

I like all the colors.

Thanks Ken! My '09 and those other two guys' '09s all have UQA RPO code. They both have rear a rear DVD and the UVB Navigation Radio, mine does not have a rear DVD system and has the U3U Navigation Radio. They both have the center speaker on the dash, mine does not. Neither has Y91 or Y92.

I don't think our friend from Kuwait's post answers the why yet. Maybe he knows. Ejbarah, thanks for posting friend! Do you know why some systems have the center dash speaker without Y91 or Y92? Presumably, they do not have the smart amp.

@swathdiver

Rear DVD it's just an options when you buy your car.
Some cars comes with rear ENT with center dash speaker and UVB (RADIO AM/FM STEREO, SEEK/SCAN, AUTO TONE, CD, CD-R MP3, DVD, NAV, CLOCK, ETR, RDS)

Others comes with U3U (RADIO AM/FM STEREO, SEEK/SCAN, DVD, CD, CLOCK ETR, NAVIGATION, VOICE REC, MP3) with center speaker and without center speaker.

GM has two option for one RPO.
