Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great fit. Easy construction.

I bought this for my 2009 Chevy Cobalt and it fits perfectly. The frame parts are numbered according to the vehicle and can be easily connected to each other. The screws supplied with the radio are used to attach it to the frame. So easy. The candles were the only part I had to work on. Physically they fit and seat correctly, but the 8 speaker wires are in the wrong place on my Cobalt. A lot of people break their hearts here. Not. The great thing is that these connectors allow you to move the wires anywhere :)! There is a tab at the top and bottom (2 per connector) that lifts where the wires enter the connector. Each wire also has a tiny but visible silver tab that you can press with something sharp and then they just slide back out. Simply find your vehicle's colors and wire locations, ride accordingly, and snap the tabs back into place. Just don't push them too far. I broke one but a drop of glue fixed it. Specifically, my car didn't have a power switch wire (very odd to me), just a constant and ground wire, so I had to disconnect the red wire from the adapter plug and connect it to the pink 12-volt switch wire on my airbag's message center. . Still nothing terrible and easy. I needed a multimeter to find and test it. Tip: To make sure you're ordering the correct plugs, simply find a factory radio for sale and look at the rear view. Now you can see which connections you need without dismantling the machine.

Pros
  • Nice to use
Cons
  • Security
