[s-cars] radio locking up

[Steve Mills]

If you have a 95.5 with the wider, Delta radio (and no lighter socket on the
dash) a Concert I is an easy swap- just 3 wires are different. You can also
do the swap with the older Gamma, it's just more involved since the wiring
is so different.

The Concert I is about as new as you can get without running  into other
issues- the newer radios use the CAN bus for illumination control, GALA, and
other functions, and our cars don't have CAN bus signals to supply.

LMK which you have and we can go from there.
