This question is for any professional installer familiar with 99 caveliers.
I was recently told that the stock tape deck in my 99 cavelier would have to be left hooked up to the car and mounted in the trunk in order to replace it with a C.D. player because if it is diconnected it will mess with the computer and set off the airbags.Is this true?because i am not familiar with installations on newer vehicles and i don't want to get ripped off.At the same time i don't wanna mess with the computer on my car and set off the airbags.i was told that it would cost $150 canadian for the wire harness to run the stock tape deck to the trunk.
