[QUOTE="Innovative:Cory, post: 5725816, member: 589885"] Ok let me help both of you out.... If you are trying to put a radio in either one of these cars, you have to go with some type of peripheral device to mimic the factory radio... The electrical architecture is based on GM's Class II databus network...in other words the computer tells the car when and when not to do some things.. .i.e. when to chime for key in ignition cylinder, when to turn the radio on with ignition, etc etc... Technically the radio is not supposed to be removed from these vehicles...you would need a part number like a "GMCO" to interface correctly into the electrical system...that will provide you with your chimes, provide a 12V SWITCHED output and keep the electrical system in a "healthy" status... and by removing those radios you are loosing more than just chimes.....
