Thanks for you reply I'd like to be sure before i go ahead and get it done. so if anyone else has an experience with it, hit me up. a pic of both working wold be appreciated. they also were saying that the stock amp would need to be bypassed and would not work anymore.

I second it, I hoked up a aftermarket player and I even have the 7 speaker pioneer system, and all my crap still works, I had a little trouble with it but thats cause I forgot to hook up 1 wire. dont belive crutchfield cause they told me the same thing about the amp bypass bull ****. go for it, you'll be alright.

Most GM cars with DIC's have it built into the radio. That's probably what they were assuming, but our cars have them built into the gauge cluster.
