Ok so I have a 07 LS with the DIC in the speedo, base ass stereo, 0 Options. All I need is a regular harness and a regular mount kit? I really dont want to loose anything, but depending on what Ill loose I can cope. Thanks in advance.

Ok so I decided to get to the bottom of this so to speak. I figured that not having the headunit hooked up would be the same as having an aftermarket one (in terms of loosing funtions controlled by the stocker) so I disconnected it and all I think I lost was the door chime. The dome light worked, the DIC worked, is there anything else I should check? Is there a harness that dosnt loose anything? I dont really mind loosing the door chimes, but if anything else goes I dont think I want to **** with it.

oh ya lol all you lose is door chimes and if you want to keep them the harness is a pita and pricy

 

OK i seem to get that most info will not be lost!!! BUT I HAVE A 2007 w/ the onstar and phone and ****... when i get a phone call it comes up on the radio same w/ onstar and uses the cars speakers... now if i want all that **** still can i put an indash tv in??? but still keep my phone service and onstar that i paid about 1k for???

 

k, I understand the part about not losing your DIC...which the ppl at Circuit City told me I would,lol..so now that we have that established.... I have a Pioneer receiver; does anyone have the part numbers for what I need to get this thing in the car and working (plug in play wiring harness for SS/SC w/ Pioneer & antenna adapter? (Circuit City put it on me to find out all this stuff) Oh yeah, and the Metra Single Din Dash Kit part no. too? Please help?

you have an 06?

 

yep an 06' ss/sc w/ the factory pioneer system

bump.....help with part numbers please.........

 

you people are idiots

 

Y Has No One Answered My Last Post In Here????

 

i think it would be nearly impossable to get the phone thing and onstar to work with an aftermarket raido

 

Is it possible that we can get this updated on the 1st page, all the added questions and answers, ect?

 

I had a stereo system put in where the Alpine head unit is ran to a 4 channel amp and also a 2 channel amp for my two 10'' subs . Now I was tired of the extra weight of the subs and sperate boxes ( plus I wanted the trunk space back )so I took the subs out but still have the wiring for the two channel amp which I want to run to the stock sub. How do I do this. The wiring that is after the factor connector leading to the sub has 2 black and 2 red wires . Would I hook up the speaker wires to the one red and one black???. Please help I'm tired of no bass.

Bump^

 

so i have a 2006 ss/sc with the pioneer premium sound system... i am trying to instal a aftermarket radio. i do not have on star and dont care about door chimes. from what i have gathered all i have to do is just buy the simple cobalt wiring harness for the LS or something like that and just repin the harness? is this correct? or am i missing a step? or everything lol. some one earlier said they used the "cheap one" but what is the cheap one and second off i dont know if they ahd the pioneer system... thanks for the help guys

 

so i dont have the extra time right now because of work and college to tear apart my fiance's 06 ls to install the new HU i bought her...talked to the local shop that installed the Memphis 6.5's and 6x9's and they want 55 to install which is cool but they tried to sell me the $150 harness he said well if you want your check engine light to still function then you need this i said why would i need a harness for a radio to control my dash functions?? lol i said i have been doing a **** load of research and im not buying that....i can go get the normal $10 harness or whatever from like wal mart right?

 

yes for an 06 without onstar.... but i dont think walmart sells harnesses

 

go on ebay and look, you can get one for about 10.

 

awesome, thanks guys

 

will the factory sub still work on an aftermarket radio?

 

Hey you should add this phone number, it is for ACDelco which does the radios, 1 800 537 5140

 

Also, I made a How To for removing the radio, think you should add this to the page?

Coming next, speaker removal guide.

 

Number 2 on the sticky is false for 2007 cobalt Lt... all the chimes are lost when the radio is removed. if anyone knows how to correct it, please pm me. thnks

 

how to correct it for the 07 balts is by buying the expensive harness... THis thread really needs to be updated for you 07 guys (it was done in 5-06)

 

is it posible to put a 07 radio in a 06?

 

Not unless you know how to wire it and program it.
