I KNOW(x10) I've seen a thread on here that was a how to for swapping an 07 + radio into an 05/06 Model SS/SC

I've looked through 12 pages of how to threads and can't find it.. Perhaps I fail when it comes to searches?

Anybody have any help?

 

is there? I remember one guy did it but it took a lot of work and I don't know if it ever got full functionality... but if someone wrote one up after that that works well lets see it

 

bump

 

... I have also seen it, good luck

 

i'll give it a crack

no luck in the how-to section

 

its in the faq

15.) I have an 05-06 cobalt and i want the aux in like the newer 07+ radios. Can I just swap one of those head units in my car?

Quick answer is no... yes its been done by one person (SilverSS/SC) "All of the functions work . The only thing that was screwy was the radio controls and thats only because the 2007 steering controls do not have all the functions the 05-06 controls have. 2007's only have volume , seek/scan(up/down on CD tracks) and mute and all those function do work on my 05 steering wheel controls" He also knew someone that worked at gm and had extensive knowledge of the tech 2 software... "Yea , tech2 was a bitch to get to read the radio that shouldnt have been there . From what I can remember ( my friend that worked at the dealer quit so I no longer have tech2 access ) , theres 3 different ways to do a vin relearn on a radio .....only 1 of them worked . The other 2 ways could see the radio , but it couldnt change the 07 vin assigned to the radio to my 05 vin so nothing would happen , the tech 2 would basically stuck on a loading info screen and stay there until u aborted the command ." Heres the thread with more info on it
