Pontiac G6 Car Stereo Removal 2005 - 2009 = Car Stereo HELP 

Thank you! Gonna get this going on! Have had my G6 since 07. 395,000 miles on her!

I literally had this video playing as i took out the stereo to my G6. Couldnt have done it with out this video.. thanks alot

Remember the days when you could just pull out the stereo and take it in the house.

My aftermarket radio arrived today so I'll be replacing the stock radio, this video will definitely help. Thanks!

About time I see a video of someone doing this right. A lot of people making videos of removing the actual glove box Lid to access bolts.

Thank you, GM, for designing this car like like a bunch of idiots. Seriously, there are so many examples of this kind of annoyingly involved process to get at anything in the car that even the dealership techs will try the less-common solutions first simply because they're easier to access! I know GM isn't the only car company making it hard for people to get into the guts of the cars and replace simple things, but it's particularly egregious on the G6, along with other dumb design choices.

Thank You. You're a valuable resource to the RU-vid community😊😊

Wow. Sure glad they made it so easy. I'll have to do this when I don't need to go anywhere for awhile. Otherwise, great instructional video. Thanks.

I just bought a G6 and I will be installing an aftermarket stereo thank you for the video i like to see how the dash comes apart before I do it the video was straight to the point and what I was looking for I don't like watching dyi guys in there driveway

I’m glad I found this video, had climate control light bulbs burn out and if I gotta do this to access the panel and get in there they can stay burned out now

I just bought an 09 G6...and my jaw is on the ground right now looking at what i have to do to get at this audio system haha!!! wow....i may not have bought it to be honest...

Thank you, straight forward instruction, to the point and helpful

I have an 06 and it's easy to take out the radio. I did it myself. You don't have to take the glovebox and the panel under steering wheel completely out. Just the screws that are closest to the center console. Pull the panels down and the center radio panel can be pulled out. It's easy.

I have a strong feeling I won't have mine out in under 8 minutes.

Thank you alot!!! My backup camera blew out and was draining my battery, had to cut the cord. But the cord was still drawing power and could've started a fire. This video helped me take the cord out completely. Thank you so much!!

Hey, I just followed your guide and it is spot on. Thanks.

Thanks,just as I thought too much work for me

Great video. CD changer error, and No Disc errors on mine.

This helps further solidify my hatred of these machines.

Holy shit GM why did you design the Pontiac this way?? Ridiculous!

thanks for show how to remove the stereo man its help me a lot

I wish he went through on how to take out the compartment under the glove box

Did I hear you right; if an OEM Radio is being inserted for the old one, it would have to be taken to dealership for them to assign it to the vehicle?

Can we install a AUX port into the stereo so we dont have to go to the dealership to fix the CD player?

Excellent!! I greatly appreciate you sir 👊🏻😎🇺🇸

Thanks, helped out a lot

Is that an aux cord hanging under the steering wheel?! I need one in my car

If I get one from the salvage yard, will it work in my car? I want the one with the auxillery port, which mine doesn't have.

Nice very good step by step explanation

YES! The stereos are what is called, VIN locked. The dealership may charge up to $175 to unlock the stereo, if they are unable to unlock the stereo. Not all stereos are interchangable.

Thank you for saving my car lol great video

Cheers my man!!

Thanx for this video. U saved me 50$

Great video! thanks for the time-saving information. I have a question about the two wiring harnesses that you removed from the back of the stereo, which one is for the XM radio?

Thank you kind sir

Great video thank you so much!

Thank you for the video it helped alot

ya this is going to help alot hoping to put the aftermarket deck in today and get them subs working finally

What tool did you use ? Sorry I don't know anything about that kind of stuff .

hey, I tried to remove my glove box the same way you did to try to figure out why my Pontiac G6 was making a clicking noise but then I tried to start it so I could identify the problem and it won't start.

Do you need to disconnect the negative batter cable when doing this?

Aftermarket stereo would work with no issues? all it needs is the power no?

thank you so much it is so helpful

Very helpful

This helped a bit. Thanks.

Omg what a process i have a 09 g6 and want to add a sub and amp if this is what it takes to get to the back of the stock unit wow.

Wow . Nice job. Thanks

There was a screw already missing on the driver side on the video it’s right by the center

Sorry, we do no aftermarket installation. When we did, you had to have a plan, all vehicles are different with what you are given to work with.

Few questions.. I’m having issues with 07 g6 I just bought used. Does not have the factory radio, aftermarket was already installed but keyfob doesn’t work. Is the factory radio needed to program those?

all you need it's a tech 2

Reset the stereo, disconnect the negative terminal from the battery for 15-20 minutes then reconnect. If the problem continues, we would have to see the stereo in shop for repair CarStereoHelp (dot) com.

Never tried it... It should work if they are the same model.

WIll installing a aftermarket radio allow the car to function properly? Not messing anything up? Also how can you get your fuel information to show up on a aftermarket radio? Thanks so much

thanks for the info-help out alot

I wanted to upgrade my 06 Pontiac stereo to an 08 stereo to get an AUX port and get rid my fm transmitter. I took the stereo I purchased to a dealership. They told they were unable to do it because of the part number, should I try another dealership or return it

Where is your repair shop i have an aux radio for an g6

awesome video thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a after mark and couldn’t get to start by the right wey

I had a windshield put in my Pontiac and the next day it was raining the radio went wild and I cut the radio off and it was still making noise and now the radio plays nothing its like there is no station do I need to have it reprogram at the dealer or just replace .

Very helpful indeed!!

what about the car info that shows on the stereo screen?

where do you get a new radio? My RDS doesnt work and Its a base radio. Kinda of a bummer to have a radio that controls everything on the radio.

Thank you amigo por compartir tu conocimiento

are all the bolts 7mm

Great video

Una pregunta amigo, tengo un G6 2007 le puedo cambiar el stereo por otro del 2009? que tiene entrada aux? tendria que hacer algo en especial? o solo lo coloco y listo. muchas gracias!!

OK something I can't figure out and I've been looking for the video and I've been reading the manual book online for this car I love this car but on the other hand I hate it so much it was running great been a good car but definitely time to put up for sale sorry to make another comment on here my point is now my speakers went on my doors but they'll pop on work for a little while and then the sound of go back out I don't know if they're blown out of the fuse I've no idea on the other hand with this car is on this do-it-yourself where the radio is I would love to take it out but what's going to happen with the original radio manufactured with the information like it tells you when your lights are going off and it has the menu button and it and it tells you about your RPMs your tire pressure it tells you about your oil reset what happens to all the programming if you try to put another radio in what will happen as far as info and menu buttons it's all electrical device gives the car part info menu such as oil reset tire Info umm rpms set language and much more I know from hands on I was trying to learn the programing coding on it

Anyone have any idea how much a dealership would charge to buy and install a 2008 head unit for a G6? CD player crapped out on me and won't eject in my 2006. Figured if I were to replace it, I'd go with an '08 model for the aux input. The fact that they apparently want $75-150 just to program the unit is ridiculous. Curious to know what they'd charge for the entire install.

Bob.... where do you get the small blue crowbar you use?

no there isnt an aux output on any model before 2008. i bought a addon unit for mine to add aux.. as for the door speakers what makes you think they are loose?

Wait So I Take My Stereo To the Dealership And Get It Fixed ? One of My Family Memeber But 2 Dics In A It Got Stuck, So Would I Be Able to Take the CD's out by myself ? 😕😨

If I purchase an after market stereo (app. radio) will it display the cars info. like temperature, trip meter, oil % life? That is useful info, however without the aux input or bluetooth the stereo is useless. Thanks.

Where, in the 08 GT series, would you suggest placing an amplifier to power up a pair of 12" Alpine type s subwoofers?

In regards to BLKWDWENT & denizac...... I have the same problem and would like more info. regarding the metra adaptor. I love my car but also got it from a non-pontiac dealer and they are offering to replace with a kenwood. Now would it be an option for me to keep my car radio and see if they can fix it, but also pay the charge for the re-keying??? Sunshine

great info thnx

This does not sound like a common problem? Try a reset, disconnect one of the battery terminals for about ten minutes and reconnect. See if it comes back to working correctly.

how did you fix the CD changer Error because i haved this since my car battery died

Hi Bob...When my car is off, the backlight of the radio and the clock flash on every 30seconds about. It drains the battery of the car overnight. Do you think this is a problem with the radio, or is there a short in the wires?

With the error code since you replaced the battery... Try the reset of the changer by disconnecting the battery for a couple of minutes and reconnecting. If this does not reset the changer, then repair is needed. See the link to our "Shipping" page on the website before sending.

What is the small harness in the corner used for

So can I put a differ newer stereo in my car?

How about just changing the faceplate out and not the radio will that mess with the vin?

I have a problem with my g6 stereo. the clock works but nothing else. Is this in need of being reset by the dealer or should I scrap it and go aftermarket. I bought the car like this and do not know what may have happened to the stereo in the past. thanks

i love you

I just realized not everyone has an aux on their g6. I think my car has everything including cruise and remote start

thanks! very helpfull

Mine didn't work after a boost is it a fuse blown??

hey bob, i have a 07 pontiac g6 gt is there, i want to know if aux outlet is on the back if the radio. would you know? plus i beleive speaker wires are loose in my fron two doors

I thought it was gonna be so much simpler 😢😢

does an after marked radio need to be keyed to the car or no?

nice video...

its monsoon not bose

I just want my cds back

My single cd just clicks when you try to eject cd any ideas anyone

Is that a torque wrench

Was Darth Vader operating the camera? All I could hear was heavy breathing!

is there any way to fix a factory radio that wont suck in the c.d's?
