Hey peeps.

I want to take out the stock head unit and replace it with a CD/MP3 player. I was told that if I remove the old stereo a new one would not work in its place, I would have to keep the old one hooked up in the trunk or glove box. IS this true? any suggestions would be greatly welcomed.

Hi I'm in the process of doing the same thing, my biggest obsticle was finding an adapter that would accept a new head unit. I have a 99 Eldorado, could not find one so my only other option was to have a custom adapter manufactured. I asked my local insaller the question about the original head unit. From what I've been told the OEM head unit is VIN specific and shouldn't cause a problem being replaced. I do not have ONSTAR so not sure if that would make much of a differance. I've decided to keep the OEM head unit and buy a JL Audio Clean Sweep. Check it out on JL Audio's web site. Hope this helps.
