look in the classifieds there is a guy selling both the double din kit plus the harness and steering wheel controls.

not sure if it works on the cobalts but its worth a try

Pac Audio:
C2R-GM24 harness

Metra:
95-3302 dash kit (3302S is the silver option)
40-GM10 antenna adapter

personally prefer the pac harness over the metra but if you want you could get it all through metra. your choice, least problems with pac from my experience.

What u mean by bypass? For video when ur driving? If so don't waste ur money on em, they don't work. At least mine didn't. I have a GPS unit and all I had to do was move one wire on the radios harness down to an empty pin and works great, that's after I spent 30 bucks on 2 different bypasses that don't work
