1968 Camaro Console Multiplex option

[scuncio]

Does anyone know anything about this option? Apparently you got the multiplex controls in the console door in '68 if you ordered A/C. Reason I ask is that I just picked up some parts from a guy and the console is equipped with the control unit and partial wiring harness. I know the 66 Caprice had a similar console-mounted control unit, but will any of that stuff interchange? Thanks everyone-Tony

I don't know about the interchange,check the number of pins on the connecter.I know these vary....The main body of the multiplex mounts under the dash to the left of the ash try on the back side of the dash.The unit on the console is a control head only.I have a complete schematic and part numbers for all 68 Delco units.There are a few combos depending on if you have a 8-trk or not.I can look up the numbers later if need be.......Kind of a confusing system compared to todays stuff...

Were you able to get the 1968 Chevrolet 8 track Demo tape included with it?

yes i know about it. the wiring is the same for the console mounted multiplex. on a camaro the unit is mounted to the side of the steering column under the dash, one harness goes in the back of the radio. you might have to remove the dummy plug on the back of the radio the other harness goes under the console to the controller. theres another harness that goes to the speakers. i had a complete set up i sold to a guy last year. very rare!!

Yes,you could and did receive the demo tape with it.Talk about a mess of wires with the two options combined .The demo tape is called "Music of the USA,featuring Lorne Green". Very hard to find cartridge.I have a few 8-trks and the multiplex's for them.The 8-trk multiplex has an additional jumper that the std. unit does not have.The 8-trk / multiplex combo uses # 7305221 and multiplex alone uses #7304621.Multiplex to radio uses a 9 pin plug,8-trk to multiplex is an 11 pin.The multiplex/8-trk has the same two plugs,9 & 11 pin.....

Do you have the Original Slide box & papers that 8tk Tape came new in?
There was an earlier 8Tk tape issued before that one,that is a completelty different design released in 1967-8.
I have all these from Chevrolet,& I would think the earlier version would have been available in 68..thoughts?
I Have seen that one in your picture in 1969-70 Chevrolet Cars as well.

I have another in my Camaro with a sleeve.It is different than the one pictured...I wish I could get to it.. I felt this one was correct for my car,it is one of the last 68's built...
