Cav Deck in Saturn
Tuesday, December 16, 2008 2:19 PM
a.
You're right, I didn't search b/c i'm too lazy... (well, i don't have time right now)

b.
now that we got that out of the way.

I have a stock used Radio head unit out of a 2003 Cavalier that I got from my father in law. It is the base model, i.e. no casette player or cd player, just am/fm.
I also have a beater, my 98 Saturn SC1.

I want to put said radio in said car.
It fits in the hole, but the plugs are different.

How much work would it be to cut off the stock plug in the car, go to a Junkyard, cut off the plug in a 2003 cavalier, and splice / solder all the wires together, and then have it work?

Will I run into theft lock issues?
Will the car even be able to power/run the radio?

Where can I find the wiring diagrams / pinout drawings for both plugs?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

yeah, either that or junkjarding a stock deck from a saturn.

i bought the car with an aftermarket deck in it, then it got stolen, so i drove around with nothing for a while, and now i'm getting sick of the quiet, so i need something...

I/H/E = music!

Well, to some anyway

If I were to do that for a beater, I would either pull a Saturn stereo or e-bay something aftermarket / cheap.
