You've given me the push I needed to buy a new car.
Sure, if you want to be shackled in debt. So glad I can fix my own and never pay more than 900 bucks for a good car. If I can do it anyone can. We go into debt to buy a hunk of metal that only goes down in value and only costs more money to keep it running. When today's cars break down people have no choice but to BLEED money. Just sayin'.

All Chevy had to do was install an aux input and nobody would have to do this
Exactly
Tell me about it 😂
Fr
Fr Im literally installing a whole radio just so I can play music from my phone
Alright I’m convinced I’ll just pay someone to install the aftermarket one I got lmao
all that work to remove a radio...fine Chevrolet engineering!

That’s how it is for all vehicles you dummy
@@codymcaleer7209 NO ITS NOT LOL
Wow .. that is a ton of disassembly just to get to the radio head unit. My dad watched me change out the radio in my Saturn and asked me to replace the one in his Malibu since the CD player doesn't work. He's gonna freak out when he sees me taking apart half his dash. Now that I think about it, that might make all the extra work worth it.
God forbid they would make the center counsel a snap in
Yep mine was perfect till I got a new radio now it’s in 4 pieces🤬🤬
knowing that I have to do this. I now feel like dying is the better option.
A away
I work as a parts picker at a salvage yard your video was a godsend! I can't believe how much you have to rip apart just for the radio...I only needed the bezel but still !!!!! Thank you for your video.
Glad it helped
Didn't know peter griffin was a car guy
"All there is", bloody hell they didnt want the radio to be removed did they lol :D
And if the radio turns out to be faulty, how many swear words do you shout at it? lol.
All there is to it....lol
Maybe they did this to make it hard for people to break into the car and steal the radio. Otherwise just GM engineering doing it's thing.
thanks for the video. it was not that hard to take it apart after watching the video. I did not need radio removed. just taking apart the vents to middle since my 3 year olds at the time thought it was a place to put all my loose change. 2007 Chevy...again, thanks for the video. it was not as bad as people are letting on in comments. tool apart and back in about 12 to 15 minutes.
Thank you sooooooooo much for walking me through this. 💗💗 This is the second time the radio has to be serviced because of the cd part. The 1st time the dealer did under warranty. This time, thanks to you, I did it. Your awesome!
I have to take a nice non factory stereo system out of my old Malibu. A lot of work to get it out . Thanks for the video
Wow, Are You Sure You Don’t Have To Replace The Engine And Trunk, That’s Alot Of Work Just To Remove A Stereo,
is it possible to install an auxiliary kit into this stereo?
only now you have to get a separate monitor for the trip, warnings, and other info because GM stupidly put it as part of that radio in the malibus and the G6 of that model year
+M15 Productions i thinking about replacing my radio like where do i get this spare monitor from?
Another reason I'll never own a chevy. I had to do this on one of our company cars, ridiculous. They didn't use a normal trim piece till years later.
Is there any way to avoid all that?
Seriously dude wtf is wrong with these manufacturers all that goddamn wprk to switch out a radio
Thanks this really helped . I got an 05 Malibu
Good video, I have Malibu LS 2006 and a lot of static on AM. What do I need to do?
now thats over with where can i go shopping for that specific part of a 2006 chevy malibu? i was hoping to maybe buy a center console with an aux cord out put and even a navigation system or bluetooth
Thank you so much for this video it was extremely helpful
That stock stereo is the worst, my dad had a Pontiac g6 with the same stereo and it would never play cds, and cds would get stuck, now I own a 06 Chevy Malibu with this exact stereo, cds work but they get stuck.
They are very similar but the g6s is different lol. The screen on the Pontiac is smaller and the buttons are set up completely different. You also don't get all the same information on the g6s that you so on the Malibu
My 05 has a CD stuck in it too. POS radio sux!
Im guessing you cannot install/add an aux cable to the stock radio. Im looking to buy an aux cord that connects to the back of the stereo that way i can play my mp3.
How can I just add a aux cord?
+alex flores wondering the same thing.
alex flores can't we just use the newer malibu radio with the aux in it?
Can you use the DIC after replacing the radio? I bought a car with a new radio but I can’t change the DIC screen to show my fuel range
Got a 2004 Malibu putting in stereo all hooked up but no sound at all?
Do you know, if I have the base level stereo in my Malibu, is it possible to replace it with the uplevel one? The one in this video?
I want to replace my radio with another stock radio but all this disassembling is not worth it for a cd player.
ARandomUA-camr its not bad. If you enjoy doing things like this. make a afternoon of it
What all do you have to change to install an aftermarket radio?
Chevy made installing a new entertainment display as difficult as possible.
I have an 07 my dash snapped in 3 pieces tryna get it out 😢so much for tryna be careful I swear this car gives me the biggest headache worst mechanical setup ever. And nope couldn’t run the ignition wire to the cig lighter line I’ve always done cuz it stays on constantly and causes the security like to stay on.😡🤬
Dang they don't make it easy. I changed a radio on a dodge stratus once. it was so easy. just insert a special tool and it slides right out.
Later Malibu models are easier. I have a 2006 Malibu, and once I saw this, I realized that I would need a professional to change the radio.
Thanks for sharing!!
Sort of like using a rocket launcher to kill a mouse in the wall.
I love your tool dude . What is that?
***** That is my homemade panel remover it is one of a kind.....lol
if you still have the old radio you pulled out in this video could you put down the part numbers? my radio is eating the cds in my car and wont spit them out. looking to buy a new one same model so i can continue using my sensors (feul level, oil life %, trip miles, etc) or if anyone knows a good replacement that will allow me to use the same controls with a better unit, i would be an even happier person!
I'm having the same problem, the damn thing doesn't even play. How tf am I going to replace this bullshit 😪
beatlebabe1969 I have since pulled my last cd out. The problem is something to do with the player itself. Maybe a short in the player. The arm that drops through the cd stopped going up and down. So when the cd tries to eject the arm is still caught in the cd center. The popping noises is the arm catching and throwing the cd back into place.
Craig Nuckles that's exactly what it's doing. Can I fix it myself or do I have to buy a new one? It's my first car and fuck I'm broke lol
beatlebabe1969 well I haven't gotten that far myself. However I found the best way to get parts for any car is to go down to your local junk yard the ones around here are called pick and pull. Take your tools and go down to the junk yard near you and they will let you search for your make and model I their lot. If you find it you can take it out the car yourself. And pay them pennies on the dollar for it. My junk yard also has a refunds available if it doesn't work when you install it at home.
I think car radios are 25 bucks at my local junkyard. Much cheaper than buying this new. A new one is anywhere over $450 bucks.
Good bless you!
Got to remove the hole damn dashh
What size is the radio ?
double din
WHERE IS THE VIDEO ON HOW TO PUT BACK TOGETHER? I JUST WOKE UP FROM A NAP AFTER TAKING OUT AND DON"T REMEMBER HOW I REMOVED :)
Just reverse this video, it ain't that hard.
awesome thanks
Looks like I'll be paying the dealership for this one. :\
Easy.
What's the point of taking all the side panels off can't you just take the middle part out pull the stereo out and then plug the new one in.
Or do you have to take the other parts off to be able to get the middle panel off?
I think I'm not trading in this piece of shit car after putting over 1,000$ to fix Chevy's fuck ups, fuck this Bull shit
:)
That's a lot of nonsense
