Ok so I have a 07 LS with the DIC in the speedo, base ass stereo, 0 Options. All I need is a regular harness and a regular mount kit? I really dont want to loose anything, but depending on what Ill loose I can cope. Thanks in advance.

Ok so I decided to get to the bottom of this so to speak. I figured that not having the headunit hooked up would be the same as having an aftermarket one (in terms of loosing funtions controlled by the stocker) so I disconnected it and all I think I lost was the door chime. The dome light worked, the DIC worked, is there anything else I should check? Is there a harness that dosnt loose anything? I dont really mind loosing the door chimes, but if anything else goes I dont think I want to **** with it.

I had a stereo system put in where the Alpine head unit is ran to a 4 channel amp and also a 2 channel amp for my two 10'' subs . Now I was tired of the extra weight of the subs and sperate boxes ( plus I wanted the trunk space back )so I took the subs out but still have the wiring for the two channel amp which I want to run to the stock sub. How do I do this. The wiring that is after the factor connector leading to the sub has 2 black and 2 red wires . Would I hook up the speaker wires to the one red and one black???. Please help I'm tired of no bass.

so i have a 2006 ss/sc with the pioneer premium sound system... i am trying to instal a aftermarket radio. i do not have on star and dont care about door chimes. from what i have gathered all i have to do is just buy the simple cobalt wiring harness for the LS or something like that and just repin the harness? is this correct? or am i missing a step? or everything lol. some one earlier said they used the "cheap one" but what is the cheap one and second off i dont know if they ahd the pioneer system... thanks for the help guys

so i dont have the extra time right now because of work and college to tear apart my fiance's 06 ls to install the new HU i bought her...talked to the local shop that installed the Memphis 6.5's and 6x9's and they want 55 to install which is cool but they tried to sell me the $150 harness 
he said well if you want your check engine light to still function then you need this i said why would i need a harness for a radio to control my dash functions?? lol i said i have been doing a **** load of research and im not buying that....i can go get the normal $10 harness or whatever from like wal mart right?

Also, I made a How To for removing the radio, think you should add this to the page?
