my cousin has an 01 malibu, and I have taken a look at the stock head unit. Very confusing. I have installed alot of car stereos before, and I have never seen anything like this at all. Has anyone ever installed an aftermarket head unit in a malibu before, and if so HOW?

please be very specific, and mention even the smallest details. (if it's possible) thanx

what is it you're confused about? How to remove it? wiring, etc.?

how to wire in a new head unit

for my install (2001 malibu) i bought an adapter so i could hook into the stock wiring harness. the only problem i had was that the wire on the adapter for the switched 12V ignition lead did not match up with the stock one so i had to find a different sorce to power the cd player. i'm not sure why it did not match up but it will not work untill you find a new switched power sorce.
