and also how will the deck power up once my car is turned on or also when i turn the key to accessory settings?

if you can fid a fuse in the fusebox that does that then your fine.

The stereo has nothing to do with the DIC or chimes in those cars. as long as u don't hook up the red wire in the cheap harness you buy then your fine

Thanks alot I really appreciate help

what is the red wire anyways? and which wire would i hook up to the fuse box so that the deck will turn on and off?

the red wire is acc. and in most cases the wiper fuse or the sunroof fuse is what works for cobalts

does your deck have a power antenna wire? if you get the blue metra harness you shouldnt need to repin it

hey sorry so one last question so i have to pioneer system in my car and i herd to keep the speakers and the sub i need to some how relocate a wire from my factory harness is that true? and which wire and how if so?

EmperorJJ1

do this... buy the metra brand harness. wire it up and try it out and see what happens if you run into issues then we can go from there. In most cases the problem is either person who put it in or the brand of harness. If you get the Metra brand harness and wire it correctly then theres a very small chance u have to do anything else.

my-first-car

yeah i got the metra harness but i i was looking on your other fourm and it said that if you have the pinoor sound system when u put in a aftermarket deck your speakers and sub wont work cause the remote wire from the factory amp has to be hooked up the the remote on the after market harness. is that correct?

Unless u absolutly need those annoying bells when the door is open then the cheap harness is fine thats what i have in mine

J repat the only thing u will lose is the door chimes
