Question 2000 Pontiac Bonneville Factory Radio Replacement With An Aftermarket Raido?

I have a 2000 Pontiac Bonneville se. I want to replace factory cd player with an aftermarket mp3/cd player. But I have a problem, I bought a sony mp3/cd player and took it to circuit city and moblie one to get it installed and they told me it has a computer in the raido. That controlls something else besides the radio such as airbags, taillight, etc. They told me they will install it but they will not take any responsible for any damages caused by the replacement of the radio. I did not get it installed. I contacted two pontiac dealership and they both gave me different answer. One said that you can put an aftermarket without any problem. But the other dealership told me that it has a computer that controlls someelse beside the radio. Please HELP ME. Can I REPLACE THE FACTORY RAIDO WITH AFTERMARKET RADIO.

There Should be no problem with repalcing your radio unless it is the new style 01+ I belive. If you do replace it I would be interested in buying your old one (oem radio) to upgrade my tape deck. ibtopcop@yahoo.com

aftermarket radio

I recently bought a 2000 bonneville SE and ran into the same issue. I took the initiative of starting from scratch and hard wiring all new wires for my new cd player. So far after 2 months the only thing i have seen happen is that the door chimes and headlight on key out chimes are no longer there. No other issues have been noticed. On the same subject... i found out that all of the dome/courtesey lights and automatic headlight controlls are wired through the climate control unit.. screwy isnt it.

By the way.. one of the other features of the computerized Radio is that it is VIN encoded. therefore if the VIN in thr radio doesnt match the VIN in your PCM, the radio wont work.

I just put in an aftermarket stereo in my wifes 2000 bonneville after having 4 shops laugh at me... i ran the acc. wire for the deck to a few differant wires... and after about 10 minutes, the deck turns off. does anyone know what the problem might be? and where is the best place to run the stereo acc. wire?

12 Volt Ignition / Switched

what i did in my 02 bonnie is i ran it to the dimmer switch and it works great but there are a few thing to keeep in mind to make it work

1 you must keep your dash lights on high NO DIMMING THE DOWN
2 now to keep power running to your deck in the day light just turn your fog lights on and leave them on

3 now your radio will turn on and off with the key


the only woth way i see to do it is to open up the drivers side door and then with a voltage meater find the wire that allows you to operate the windows wil the car is off and then run a basic relay from there to the deck
any question
