I believe Pac makes an adapter that will make them still work

any link or anything?
and will the display for all the readings still work. like coolant and all that. i read somewhere that it might effect it

depending on the brand of the DVD, PAC makes an adapter that u can wire in to have the stock steering wheel contols work.....each button has to be programmed and it takes a lot of patience and precision. I installed it in mine and I have a Jensen DVD head unit...works perfectly all the time.

you can most likely find it at any automotive performance shop or you can order it from crutchfield.com

which is better

tremorz

yes that is what u should be getting necause that is a universal adapter (works for various brands). However, PAC does have adapters that work specifically for certain brands...first find out exactly what DVD head unit u want to buy, then find out which adapter fits it....and PAC will tell you which brand definatly will NOT work.

Hope this helps

wdsoccer

yes thank you.

is jensen a good brand for flip out touchscreens? i really want a in dash dvd that doesnt flip out but those are hella expensive.

tremorz

those are actually dam good prices for touchscreens lol.....dam they are cheaper then what they used to be....its your preference if u wanna pay more for a touchschreen....me personally....when it comes down to it its no big deal being able to touch the screen....i control it from my steering wheel

im kinda leaning towards this

tremorz

donttt do it, i had something VERY similar by JVC....after a day it got annoying, the screen is very little...not big enough to pop a movie in, and not a nice size enough to enjoy some music cd's.....go with the flip up.

heres a link to what i had....it was cool at first but got annoying.

wdsoccer

damn. just looked it up...its a nice

will it fit in the cobalt and can i use the factory steering wheel buttons?

im very interested in it......

xspyder85x

hey, it will fit. you need the double dash kit, but thats it. you will also need the pac controller.

wdsoccer

ya you need the pac controller for any aftermarket radio whatsoever

Would i still need it even if i bought the GMOS LAN 04 wiring harness?

the alpine dvd head unit has that already built in so your wheel controls still work!
