In regards to BLKWDWENT & denizac…… I have the same problem and would like more info. regarding the metra adaptor. I love my car but also got it from a non-pontiac dealer and they are offering to replace with a kenwood. Now would it be an option for me to keep my car radio and see if they can fix it, but also pay the charge for the re-keying??? Sunshine
hey bob, i have a 07 pontiac g6 gt is there, i want to know if aux outlet is on the back if the radio. would you know? plus i beleive speaker wires are loose in my fron two doors
I would not take that option, the g6’s have a DIC for oil life, tripometer data and other info, if you replace it you will lose that. Some use a metra adaptor which allows you to keep that with an aftermarket radio, but they too are kinda pricey, I would ask them to throw that in if you take the swap, otherwise you are losing on a car you just bought.
Hello I have a CDs error displayed on my screen. I believe there may be something stuck in there. I just bought the car from a dealership other than gm. They can not fix and offered a replacement which is a Kenwood system at a car stereo store. Is this a good idea or should I tell them I want to keep the factory?
This does not sound like a common problem? Try a reset, disconnect one of the battery terminals for about ten minutes and reconnect. See if it comes back to working correctly.
Hi Bob…When my car is off, the backlight of the radio and the clock flash on every 30seconds about. It drains the battery of the car overnight. Do you think this is a problem with the radio, or is there a short in the wires?
YES! The stereos are what is called, VIN locked. The dealership may charge up to $175 to unlock the stereo, if they are unable to unlock the stereo. Not all stereos are interchangable.
Did I hear you right; if an OEM Radio is being inserted for the old one, it would have to be taken to dealership for them to assign it to the vehicle?

No easy task to remove the CD’s.
Sorry, we do no aftermarket installation. When we did, you had to have a plan, all vehicles are different with what you are given to work with.
Where, in the 08 GT series, would you suggest placing an amplifier to power up a pair of 12″ Alpine type s subwoofers?
