    1978 Corvette with UP6 radio

    A friend of mine has misplaced his microphone for his UP6 CB radio in his Corvette Pace Car. He needs a picture of one. Was the microphone special to Corvette or was it the same for later years, was Cadillac using the same microphone ? Was it a 4 pin or 5 pin connection ? If anyone knows where to find just a microphone I'd pass this information along to him. Thanks. Save the Wave.>George

      The microphone used for 1978 Corvettes was, as far as Corvettes are concerned, unique to 1978 Corvettes with CB radio option. It was GM #16002911 and it was never available in SERVICE under that part number.

      The only microphone ever available in SERVICE for all 1978-81 Corvettes with CB was GM #1224215. I believe this was some sort of a kit which included other part(s) besides the microphone. Whether the microphone was the same as that used in PRODUCTION for some or all of the year models, I do not know. The 1224215 had applications across most of the GM car lines. Whether the original GM #16002911 was utilized in other models, I do not know.
