petraman Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Yeah man, GMs are so easy to pull apart it's not even funny. In fact, I doubt you'll need anything more than a phillips head screwdriver... And don't buy from best buy, they suck at life. Buy from Crutchfield and get all the extra parts for free... They even give you instructions that a monkey can understand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinisterSS Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 nope all you have to do is pull the front panel off(just grab and pull), then there should be 2 7mm bolts holding the radio in place take those out, remove/unplug radio, install new aftermarket harness, plug in new radio mount with the 2 7mm bolts re-install dash panel. done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget about the antenae adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea the monsoon is what he said was fucking it all up. Just wanted to check, but since it sounds so easy I guess I'll look into doing it myself. Thanks guys.

The only thing I lost was the cd changer. Other then that just goto Wal-Mart and get the harness for your car and the cage that fits and install it, it's easier enough that you should be able to put it in in under a half hour as long as you take the harness from the cdplayer and harness you got from WalMart that matches your car and mate them before you install it. Pretty straightforeward and sounds a helluva lot better then the stock player that was in there no matter what deck you buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SinisterSS Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Losing the steering controls sucks. actually some company is making or already has a harness that allows you to use the steering controls with aftermarket stereos, I can't remember where I read/saw that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Mine had the Monsoon and it didn't make a difference, you can have the old one out in 5 minutes and that's if you are slow and take extra causion getting the face plate off.
