well radio iinstall on that car is gonna cost,it has RDS,(RADIO DATA SYSTEM)when replacing it u need extra modules,cause your door chime will stop working and other dash guages.so i would recommend take it to the pros.

You don't need to take it to the pro's. You need to do some research though.

For a 2005 Grand Prix you need to buy the following wiring harnesses and kits to integrate an aftermarket HU into your car.

Metra:

GMRC-01 wiring harness

99-3527 Dash kit

dont he need an antenna adapter also? i think he does unless GM changed.and i recommend take it to a reputable shop,cause if you dont know how to take the dash apart,might crack or break some bezels.

Instructions can easily be found online for taking apart his car. The antenna plugs right into most aftermarket decks.

how is that? gm factory antennas are smaller than the aftermarket ones,thus you need a adapter,GM10.

RC0-01 is very expensive... i'd just do the 2003-01 if you don't care about door chimes.
