Looking at going to pick up one tomorrow. Anyone deal with any HU installs? Just curious what I'm getting myself into this week. I will install all the stuff in my sig, most of the time the HU is what takes me the most time.

I have never worked on one but have heard they need a special dash kit? Like they have special controls or read outs on the bottom of them? I could be wrong though?

Have you test driven the car yet? I test drove a cobalt a few years back and had issues seeing out the back for merging. Just something to consider before getting the car. Other than that I loved it.

I have driven one of my buddies. They do have a complicated looking factory HU so that's kind of what I was asking about.

I would say other than a potentially expensive dash kit I would say it would be an easy install.

did u try the "outfit my car" on crutchfield?

vs.

Think this will work? I saw it, but it was just 04 and up GM vehicles so I thought that was kind of sketchy.

 

[budahbuddy803 10+ year member]

Eh. Nevermind. Crutchfield has one for $20 I dont think it will be any kind of problem.

Think I will need one of these? I dont care if I dont have chimes and stuff, but will it work without that?

 

[Brian_smith06 10+ year member]

you will probably need that. I know my 04 cavi had to have a similar part and it is less high tech

Will everything minus the few chimes work correctly if i choose not to install it?

yes everything will work except the chimes and onstar, etc. I have an 07 grandprix and the only other thing id let you know is more then likely the positive included in the harness will not work and you will have to run wire from a fuse to the harness for it to power up. make sure you pick a fuse that starts with the car otherwise you will have to turn on and off manually everytime.

Yeah, I dont understand that. Will the chime thing help the power? I tried to do that in someone's cobalt and the wire melted.
