Reddit reviews Metra 40-GM10 GM Antenna Adapter

Transmitters sound like crap in my opinion. Sound is much clearer and louder with an aux in or Bluetooth connection.

Dash kit on Amazon

Wiring harness adapter on Amazon

Antenna cable adapter on Amazon

Just go to the store and buy some good 16ga speaker wire to extend the wires for the harness adapter. Or maybe go to best buy and see if the installers will sell you enough colored wire for the $5 materials charge. As for the antenna, this is the extension. You just still need the actual antenna adapter that I said previously.

Edit: So remember, you need a wiring harness adapter like the GM-4001 and to extend the wires from that to the radio location, an antenna adapter like the 40-GM10, and that antenna extension (not necessarily that exact one, just one long enough to reach the radio location).

I'm guessing this is it? That's for the Cobalt, and I can't imagine it would be any different for the Pursuit.

Buy a single DIN aftermarket radio of your liking.

Buy a single DIN faceplate adapter like this.

Buy a wire harness that will plug into the factory radio connector like this. This will prevent you from hacking the factory wiring to connect it to the aftermarket radio harness.

It may require you to buy this adapter for the factory attenna connect into the aftermarket radio.

Install is pretty easy, search google for walkthroughs if you get stuck.

Does your car have steering wheel controls? If so, you'll lose that feature, there's ways to make it work but they're pricey.

Like I said it's just color matching! On Crutchfield it says you need a [antenna adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/Metra-40-GM10-GM-Antenna-Adapter/dp/B0002BEQN4) but I personally am not 100% if you will need one. Then [here] (http://www.amazon.com/Metra-99-3300-95-04-Isuzu-Hombre/dp/B00029X1M8) is the dash kit. You will might have to use some of the factory pieces to install.

I mean if you can find a Pontiac dealership then maybe. Otherwise most audio shops don't bother repairing factory radios, unless you find someone that specializes in it. It's like trying to repair a car that was in a heavy front end collision, you just write it off and declare it totalled not attempt to repair it. I've had customers come and say a dealership wanted $1k+ to repair their radio whereas a brand new aftermarket deck installed, with more features, only came out to <$300.

But yeah, see if a friend knows radios or go to your local shop and get an estimate. Here's the parts for your own research:

Dash kit, 99-2003

Antenna adaptor, 40-GM10

Harness, PAC RP5-GM11

5 ch amp

Front Speakers

Subwoofer

Head Unit

Sub Box

HU Interface

Antenna adapter

Dash Kit

Amp install kit

This assumes you don't have bose or onstar, and if any of this is confusing I'd give Sonic Electronix or Crutchfield a call to make sure you get the right stuff for your head unit. I would bridge channels 1-4 into just your front speakers, leave the rear stock and powered by the hu for now.

The above is ~500. The next dollars I would spend would be for this

Subwoofer box is 10 inches high 12 inches deep so check for clearance
