stock radio question
will the radio from my 98 cavy work in a 2000+ cavy? cuz my friend has a stock radio that does not have a cd player and i was going to install my old stock radio in her car, but i dont know if her wireing is the same as mine....i know that she will probly loose her door chimes and i dont think she will miss them and i dont think she has onstar so thats not a problem
will it work? the radio looks the same but the door chimes and onstar are wired in to the radio from 2000 and up so i wonder if the wires are different

Re: stock radio question
never tried it before, butttt dont the wires just plug in to the back? Atleast thats how mine is, try seeing if the plugs match.

Re: stock radio question
I'm not sure either but I guess take them both out and see if it will fit.

Re: stock radio question
yeah.. that wont work. 2001 cavaliers have a newer plug on them that require a t-harness to put in an aftermarket whereas the earlier cavaliers have a standard gm plug

Re: stock radio question
well i was just thinking free was better than anything so i was going to put my old one in her car, but since you have to buy stuff to make it work ill just tell her she should buy a new deck cuz its not worth it just to put a stock radio in
