**** no idea man... left is white i think but i really don't remember

Hey guys, I've read every post in this thread but I just wanna ask to make sure.
I have a 2009 Cobalt LT with Onstar. If I get the cheaper Metra 70-2202 harness I will just lose my door chimes, blinker sound, and Onstar? The reason I'm asking is because I've heard some people say that it also affects your airbags. How true is this? Are the airbags really tied to the stereo? I just find that a little hard to believe.
The Onstar I really couldn't care much for and I really don't care for the blinker sounds either since I never hear em anyways cuz I'm always listening to music.

This thread helped me TONS. I just placed my order with Crutchfield for the HU, wiring harness, antenna adapter, trim piece for HU... comes with specific instructions for set up/installation, too.

Maybe I'll be smart enough to figure it out without asking the hubby

What about the harness for 06' LS cobalts?

metra 70-2103

MrTRiX

I have a 05 Cobalt LS with the Pioneer audio and no onstar. The guy at Futureshop says I need "GMCO2L11 - GM radio replacement interface for vehicles without On-Star" which will cost $169.99. Is he right? If not what do I need and which part do I need to retain my wheel controls as that URL on the main post was unclear for me.

EmperorJJ1

the harness is the 70-2103 and the SWI module depends on the unit you buy

MrTRiX

I would like to retain door chimes and stuff also though. Every site that I price out something for my 05 Cobalt it recommends a $120+ adapter thing.

EmperorJJ1

well they are wrong. that adapter only applies with the 07+ cobalts. Onstar is a little tricky to retain thou. read post 121

06 SS has a Stock HU and wants to swap to 07+ for the ipod/aux connection. what is needed?

mikelpn

05-06 radios arent swappable with 07-09. Buy aftermarket.

Ok so let me get this straight. I got a 09 SS, and I was wondering what will not function if i get a aftermarket pioneer deck or dvd player with the "pioneer = GMOS-LAN-04 *retains onstar"? The facts page is little confusing. I def want to keep my bluetooth, and the Steering wheel controls would be nice to keep too. Also, was wondering if there was any new adapters for the 09s since they have a little more functionality? Sorry for the "noob" questions, there has been massive amounts of technology breakthroughs since my old days of car audio.

Hi, nice tutorial
I have a Cobalt ss/sc 07' with Pioneer premium sound without onstar. I will put a Pioneer Avic d3. I need a C2R-GM11 module, correct? This module in ebay say: Single wire output for steering wheel control module, What mean this? Also I need a antenna adapter?
Thanks.

connect the blue white wires on both the balt harness and kenwood harness... cap off the illum wire as there isnt one in cobalts. The mute, ant cont, and remo cont shouldn't be used either

ya sorry my man I need to update it but I'm lazy and normally pretty busy and I cant update it (I have to get a mod to do it) so simple lil changes and updates are for the most part impossible but now its getting to the point it needs to be revamped all together

pac audio makes the steering wheel controls that you can get for most pioneer decks (SWI-PS) or universal ones for the few pioneer ones without that function (SWI-X)

Bluetooth i don't know. i think a member said they did the swap to aftermarket without the bluetooth being effected but i honestly couldn't tell you. If anything most of the pioneers can add bluetooth so get the deck try it and if the bluetooth isn't retained then buy that module

well yes the gm11 pac module works but i would very much recommend getting the metra unit instead. alot of members here have been complaining about issues they've been having with it and in PR im not sure if you would have any decent type of warranty and or would have to pay ridiculous return shipping ect ect.

in the pac unit the single wire output for steering wheel control module is there for the pac SWI interfaces. so instead of finding the steering control wire and soldering it and in the cobalt's case you have to make another wire acc. If u get the gm11 all u would need to do is connect the wire from it to the swi and done

You recommend Gmos-Lan-04 for cars without onstar?
Thanks.

EmperorJJ1

lan-03 non pioneer
lan-04 pioneer

Felix12

I put a new HU, and put gmos lan 04. The door chimes is so hi, but if I increase a volume in gmos module the volume of the HU is low. What is your opinion?
If I don't resolve this "problem" I take off the gmos lan 04 and put a Metra = 70-2202. What is your recomendations?

EmperorJJ1

iTrader: (5)

ya you cant control the volume and chimes separately on the metra module harnesses. oh i havent had a chance to update the thread but if you decide to do it go with the 70-2104 instead of the 70-2202

Floppin Nuts

I have an 07 LT and am taking a look around for a new headunit.

I have installed many after market HU's and I don't see why people are talking about tapping into a fuse for a power source. Does the cobalt wireing harness not allow direct plug and play? The last thing I want to do is buy a new CD player or DVD player and have to chop up my wires.

If I stick with a stock unit, how well do the in-line converts work?
