whe you say module, do you mean something with the aftermarket H/U or something on the factory side?

 

[emperorjj1]

sorry the pac harness

 

[06CobaltLS]

oh well im having a friend of mine that knows more about this stuff than i do look at it and help me fix the problem, thanks for the help

 

[06CobaltLS]

ok well i went to best buy today and had them install my H/U, everything worked fine i guess i just had the wires hooked up wrong lol. Went home and installed my subs and they sound better in this car than they did my maxima, now im done with stereo stuff in this car, hopefully lol

 

[cobalt-1231]

so using the cheap harness on a non onstar nothing will happen to other things in the car when i took out my stereo my engine light came on ? any ideas

Get the code scanned and post it here.

If the chimes come out of your speakers you will lose them, if not it changes nothing.

did u unplug anything related to the airbag and turn on the car with it unplugged?

 

[jonny_b]

Wow. This almost makes me not want to install my head unit.......i did say almost though since i have an 05 anyway. Lol.

 

[emperorjj1]

why this isnt really even like a thread. its a bunch of random nonsense mixed with misinformation

 

[YelloEye]

did u unplug anything related to the airbag and turn on the car with it unplugged?

Truth.

 

[jonny_b]

That was sarcasm. Lol. I don't care how hard it is, i will always replace the stock stereo in my cars. But i did forget about the window crank clips. Lol.

 

[emperorjj1]

ya those are bullshti. unless u got a window clip tool and some luck

 

[jonny_b]

Which i have neither, so i should just order new cranks and clips now.

 

[emperorjj1]

lol ya ive done it without the tool before. ya um **** that. how did u get them off? sawzaw?

 

[jonny_b]

Lmao!! I haven't taken one off in years now. I have only done door speakers with power windows recently, so it was easy. Before i broke both side on my 88 grand am but had a friend at a junkyard pull me 2 knew ones and he told me about the tool. Lol. I haven't done my stereo yet, but probably will be doing it next weekend since i don't get my cobalt till wed. Waiting sucks. Lol

as for those little manual crank window handles u dont need a fancy tool i just took my off yesterday with my Hook pick just pry light on the handle to get enough clearance
