Surprised to see song information on the display from plain old FM stations! When did they start doing that?!
About 15 years ago.
First radio I've ever owned with it. Including factory radio. Just tried it on my Sony Xplod from only a couple of years ago and nope. Surprised to see it on this low end head unit.


Speaking of low end, here's a couple more deals.


I was looking at this unit for the wife's car before I got what I got - no CD though but with BT.

And this unit, no BT but has USB and CD and it's a Pioneer.

I just bought a double-din 6.2 inch Android, 3G, Bluetooth, WiFi media player with an adapter kit. I may need to source the esteem radio cage, as my metro has NONE. Will report back here when it is installed.

I might have a spare, but shipping to Canada will suck, even though it's light. Let me know if you will need one from me.
Do you have a link, or a model number, or something, for the unit you plan to install?

"High End 6.2” 2 DIN Android 2.3 PC WiFi Car DVD Player Radio GPS System+Camera"

Ah, that one. Think I've seen that when casting search terms upon eBay over and over.

Do let us know how it works, once you start using it. :thumb

Bump, to show an interesting thing I just found on eBay...

Speaker Mount:
92-94: http://www.ebay.com/itm/141214146763
[Metra 82-3410]
According to the listing, this is to mount a 6.5" speaker?
Until it's confirmed, I would assume it's for the stock 4" size; but at least if you don't have speaker mounts, this lets you mount SOMETHING...

Comparing the size and shape to an OEM one:

(Picture stolen from t3ragtop :D )
It looks like they actually ARE probably for 6.5" speakers! :O

Am I wrong, or are none of those Speaker Harness and Reverse Harness in the OP fit a '91 Geo Prizm ?

Also, is there anything more then a Speaker Harness and a Reverse Harness needed to install a Head Unit on a '91 Geo Prizm ?

Prizm is a Toyota so it is at least reasonably likely it won't work. Go to Crutchfield to see what you need for installation.

Correct, odds are none of this stuff will work for a Prizm.

A Geo Metro is a rebadged Suzuki Swift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Metro
A Geo Prizm is a rebadged Toyota Corolla. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geo_Prizm

You should not need a reverse harness - reverse harness is for:
When somebody cut the factory harness, and you want to put a factory stereo back in.
You need an aftermarket adapter harness.

I did a quick search for you.
Looks like you need a Metra 70-1761 Harness for the stereo: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_120701761/Metra-70-1761-Receiver-Wiring-Harness.html?tp=2977
and speaker harnesses... Scosche SHTA01B at Crutchfield: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_12071006/Speaker-Wiring-Harnesses.html?tp=3097

You have 4" speakers in the dash
and 5" speakers on the rear deck
ALTHOUGH - this information is for a 91 Geo Prizm SEDAN - if you have a HATCHBACK there are no rear speakers??
So sayeth Crutchfield.
(Metra Online says your rears [if a sedan] are 5.25")

Shop around and try to find the parts cheaper if you can - but at least now you have part numbers.

If you're not handy with a soldering iron, I also offer stereo harness creation. See my thread here: Wire for Hire; I can wire your stereo harness for you...
