Ive never put a deck in a cobalt but im sure its the same as all my other cars.....FIRST you go to best buy and get a wiring harness and color match the wires with connectors should have a diagram in package if your trying to afro engineer it buy cutting the oem harness your a jackass and doing it wrong
