stock radio unit questions
so i just realised as i was making the tittle that the stock radio unit that i wanna switch becasue i want a black one instead of silver would have to come from a ss/sc because of the subwoofer .....or could i just have to unplug the old unit and find a black one from an 07 car (doesn' tmatter what model and trim level..ie..cobalt, g5 persuit etc)..and just plug and play fine?

haha luckly for me i had my aftermarket stereo in my truck so it was technically free....and just took the stereo from my dads other truck into my truck. Just a big switcharoo. you can get your taxes back and spend like $150 on one..? my stock one was black, hell i'd give it to you if you wanted to program them. your a hop skip and a jump from me and i might go to the march meet. lol. even for programming it would be cheap, wont take long, i think they just put a code in there or something....

hey i got a simple solution for you. Buy a black HU any kind doesnt matter. Look at both stock headunits closely and you will see they have a face plate that is removable (sorta a bitch thou) Take off the silver faceplace along with the black one and put the black one on your silver HU. Since you didnt swap radios you dont need a dealer relearn and you now have a nice looking black HU. reinstall and be happy
FYI i know this works because i did it on my GF's car.... she has an LS with my MP3 radio and her old faceplate. Matches the car perfect
