Ok so i have had a Sony Xplod head unit for a while and purchased a double din install kit for 07 cobalts which i was told would work....but the head unit doesnt got back all the way it actually hangs out quite a bit ive got a year warranty on it so im wondering whether to make adjustments or what i can or should do in my situation

you have to take out that bar that goes across the back held in by 3 7mm bolts and cut the plastic covering that covers it

and u made sure to move the wires that were there out of the way? there shouldnt have been any behind the plastic and or bar

make sure you wiggle your steering wheel to make sure its not wheel locking the ignition...other people have had that problem tho...but anyways...you can just ground them to the metal near the passenger side fuse panel...pop off the kick panel and near the bottom of the fuse box you'll see a chunk of metal. you can ground there.

ok thanks and no we didnt hit any wires removing the bar ive had the key getting stuck in the ignition problem before but never had a problem getting it out i cant even get the car to kick into off mode like its not on ACC but its not all the way to the left either but the key will turn still to on and all that just wont go all the way to the left ive heard its a problem with the cobalt tumblers or somethin idk where it has problems reading when the car is in park idk

BlindSight

well i found a piece of metal under my steering wheel so i tried that and got my cd player to make a noise but its still not turning on idk whats up
