HOW TO INSTALL AFTERMARKET STEREO PONTIAC SUNFIRE

[@redbeard7253]

thank for making this! im about to purchase a sunfire myself and I have a stereo out of my old mazda protégé that ill be putting in,it looks really cool, it glows a really bright electric blue which matches my seat covers and steering wheel cover and my gear shift knob, I just hope I do the wiring correctly

[@snortthedork8842]

It’s always Time to slip the deck in 🤤

[@nchamp4591]

@ghostlyrich I have the same car very helpful especially since the stereo system is easy and cheap.

[@amandaggogo]

Thanks for the useful video! I'll be installing a new radio and speakers in my pontiac here soon, good to know it's as easy as I was hoping it would be!

[@SlowparGames]

What year is your sunfire ? And how did you wire it up?

[@gloomyx]

Quick, informative and very helpful. thanks!

[@Wompwompproductions]

How much did it cost to have this installed? I've been trying to install a stereo into my 2000 sunfire but its a bit too difficult for me

[@connormcmahon6807]

Any tips my factory harness was cut out by some idiot. I have a new deck and tried to wire the nee deck harness and it powers on but has no noise. Mind you my antenna wasn’t in so I need that adapter I tried holding it in and boom power came on. So I have 3 wires from factory that don’t seems to be used according to wiring schematic. And the nee deck plug has one wire that doesn’t seem to be used.

[@clarkgage7132]

What year sunfire are you working on? I have a 2000, but I get no power to my stereo.

[@SupraLife420]

i just bought a harness for mine and it comes with an orange wire instead of a red wire, do i just bridge orange to ground or what?

[@jesustribe-heavenkingdom6993]

May I know the name of that kind of dash ? the reason that I m asking this question is because I bought the one that has a spot under it to put stuff ... I would like to tryout the the one you have I m trying to install a Sony DSXA405BT to 2000 Pantiac Sunfire sedan 4 doors. Thank you

[@mariofernandez8761]

THANKS MAN!!! REALLY WORKED FOR MI!!!

[@TheKozdgaf]

What kit and wiring harness did you use and where can you get them

[@frozzennight]

I can't find a wire harness to fit a 2004 Pontiac sunfire. Any suggestions on where to find one?

[@cloud552000]

Great tutorial as a mechanical dumass this helped me out ^^

[@shadowmuniplitive]

Sounds like ChrisFix

[@alastarwolfe1338]

not sure if u can help but i have a 2004 pontiac sunfire do u think a boss flip screen radio would fit without the dash getting in the way?

[@ghostlyrich]

should be fine but just tried to avoid flip ups the motors die in the screen usually pretty fast

[@alastarwolfe1338]

+ghostlyrich oh damn I hope I didn't waste my money then but thank u

[@803nigel]

+ghostlyrich Really? because I have a 2000 pontiac grand am and it has a 1.5 din so I can't fit a double din. I never see a 1.5 din touchscreen radio so my main choice is to get a single din that has the screen that comes out.

[@joshuaanzell5823]

How get radio power to work with out running to fuse block? Older Sunfire with out the anti theft?

[@henryotani6685]

I have a 04 chevy cavalier, bought the harnessing wires and antenna adapter , hooked it all up but no power to deck, only cd able to eject and pish in but no power for deck to turn on????

[@baileyseefeldt3730]

Thanks for the helpful video! Easy to follow and understand!

[@ShayneHuber-s4k]

I'm just wondering where is the factory car amplifier is in the Sunfire

[@thetvirus363]

Mine has an extra red wire. Supposed to plug one end on a fuse and the other end?

[@MrBrandonXP]

Can you put in a Double DIN or Single DIN only?

[@ghostlyrich]

You need to either get the c2r gm11 pac module or you can run the positive wire from your cigarette lighter to the red wire on your radio Harness :). I have a video were i add cigarette lighters on a car it should show you which wires positive on the cigarette ligher because i filmed it in a pontiac sunfire.

[@christinalawrence2992]

ghostlyrich We recently tried putting an aftermarket in our 03 Pontiac Sunfire and it just would not work. My husband has installed many car stereos and we just could not figure out why it was not working. We were thinking it might be the theft thingy, but that really doesn't make much sense seeing that it's not like we were taking a stereo from another pontiac, it was an aftermarket JVC. Any hinters?

[@ghostlyrich]

christina lawrence does the vehicle wiring harness he purchased have the chime module.if he just bought the reguler harness with out the chime module the radio will not turn on

[@christinalawrence2992]

ghostlyrich I will ask him. never thought of that! Thank you!

[@TenMoogles]

+ghostlyrich Why MUST you have the chime module? I am trying to get a wiring harness for my 2004 Sunfire but refuse to pay $100 for a damn harness.

[@ghostlyrich]

+Lona IsABeast it's for safety reasons and to help integrate it to the car. I have had to sell modules for 500$ before just to talk with the cars computer properly. you can sometimes by pass the module buy getting a accessory wire from the cigarette lighter just becareful

[@Fall2TheSky]

I have a Pontiac Sunfire 01 a d I bought the RP3-GM11. HOW THE HEEL DOES IT WORK

[@johnathoncastro2669]

Can you show a tutorial for a touchscreen radio?

[@daniellebutlak3452]

do i need a dif wiring harness to install my head unit in a 2001 pontiac sunfire i want to put my aftermarket one in

[@alexwheeler8026]

do you work at Mickey Shorr u sound very familiar

[@raelynnnewcomb9640]

what dash kit did you use?

[@willstafford2746]

Yo its Not simple Wires - what do i do with the double Wires which makes 1 purple to connect to 2 purples

[@Daayworld]

What color matches what ? A lot of y’all KZbinrs don’t show nor explain. I need help

[@khameryn1]

Thanks a lot I need u for this

[@TheArtzOfHacking]

what is all the stuff you used in this video? more specifically the wiring stuff. I do not trust ebay stuff cheap and Amazon prices are crazy.

[@zorraknight445]

try checking your local walmart. They sell stereos, the din, wire connectors, the wiring kit and the wire strippers.

[@jennavoss6239]

I have a 1999 pontiac sunfire se 2.2 I am getting a car deck but idk how to put it in how do u put a car deck in

[@nuttybuddy14]

What type of harness would I need for a 94 grand prix

[@makon2824]

I have this same stereo in my Sunfire lol

[@powwowwarriors2959]

Where do you get the stereo?

[@antoniowilder8133]

Can you install my radio it's a touch screen and i don't know how to install it like the wire's are different

[@DareToBeDeviant]

I'm glad someone else said to heck with those PAC modules. They're a waste of money for older vehicles and all we want to do is listen to our own music (via USB/AUX/etc) especially if the factory radio is defective and/or only came with the CD/tape insert. I envy those who got the premium sound package with an aux port. Never settle for base models. Best of all I can't wait to eliminate the chime. My '98 Sunfire didn't have that. My 2002 chimes any time you do something.

[@MissAshley2491]

I have a 99 Pontiac sunfire & I bought an aftermarket stereo and I am having an issue with it the positive wires aren’t connecting properly . There’s power going to it but every time I move it the sound shuts off .. HELP!! I am so done with fettling with this thing .

[@ghostlyrich]

So it has power but if you move it, it looses power. ??? Might be a defective unit with a bad solder joint

[@walterburaconak6260]

you the Man!

[@jeremybean5201]

where did you get the dash connector have a 03 can't find the right one

[@ghostlyrich]

is it the pacmodule harness? if not the deck won't turn on

[@tashabarto7974]

i followed all the instructions and my touch screen double din stereo still wont come on

[@marvinroyster1491]

Your a god

[@J2sick_]

How do you get past the anti theft system on a 2005 sunfire?

[@NcTheory]

Mine had the colored wires and a thick cable inside, I have no clue how to remove that cable.

[@Casey11414]

I installed the same radio and it just stopped working did this happen to anyone else I can’t figure out what’s wrong with it and I don’t want to pay to get it fixed

[@pchsnova6]

What about the anti theft?

[@WeDwellinaFiefdom]

Get a manual. It's one of the best fail proof anti-theft methods. Or buy a prius if you're scared of your car getting stolen.

[@bradycollins6119]

what dash kit is that

[@ghostlyrich]

Think it was a metra dash kit

[@djpandatandems6730]

I cant find any wiring harness for a 02 sunny anywhere

[@DareToBeDeviant]

Scosche GM02B, buy anywhere with a car audio section or simply order online for a few dollars.

[@ian2714]

God the wiring harness is so fucking expensive, like $70-$100...why.

[@tylerlord1378]

bro I cut the original harness now what? do I have to rewire it I need help!!!

[@MrJokster]

If you still have the harness plug that you cut off, just use butt connectors and put it back on by matching the wire colors. If you cut it too short (close to the plug) and not able to use but connectors, 2 options. One, go to an electronic shop and by the same pins that are on the harness, install new pins on each wire end (on the wires in the dash) and remove the wires from the harness you cut off one by one and replace with the matching wire's in the dash. The second option, depends how good you are, you can find out what each wire does in the dash one by one and just hard wire it to the deck. Best thing to do is my first option. I suppose option 3 is take the car in to a shop to do option 1. I've done this plenty of times for customers. I believe shops charge about $150 for this.

[@tylerlord1378]

+MrJokster thanks man! I have no idea how to wire at all so I'll try and find a shop

[@MrJokster]

Preferably a car audio shop, they'll have everything they need for the job as opposed to a mechanics shop. Good luck with that and shop around, dont let anyone rip you off! :)

[@ericami5642]

Use a stubby screw driver n you won't need to do that to the glove box

[@evanclarke2364]

Not useful at all. Followed your directions, and you totally forgot to talk about the amp wire that needs to be spliced into the alt power wire. I did this and the stereo had power but no sound.

[@mariofernandez8761]

ME...

[@richardthayer5907]

hide it in the glove box keep the car original

[@ghostlyrich]

Classic car yes lol sunfire never
