emperorjj1 Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 oh ya forgot that was on the same body as the malibu not the cobalt... i hope you dont have the intention of changing your head unit. If i remember correctly gm put the dic in the headunit for those cars so you would need the expensive dash kit to keep you dic information and put a din sized aftermarket hu :V Quote J.

TheDave Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Yeah I plan on keeping it stock up front...3sixty.2 will do the job nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I'm not sure about this, but I heard it at a shop. The owner was saying that new GM vehicles have something with them that if you replace the HU, it could also disable the airbag system. It may have been just with Onstar equipped vehicles, but I may be wrong. Have you heard of this too?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDave Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 I have "heard" that, but I don't know how true it is... Really the big thing is losing your DIC (driver information center). But you can retain those features by either using the Metra kit or the Scosche kit.

Pokey Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Me either, I've never had any experience with a vehicle equipped with Onstar, so I dunno. Just askin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emperorjj1 Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 actually when i herd these rumors it pissed me off and i was all up in my dealers grill asking this and that... finally after a few visits with managers and calls to the main guy i was givin an exact wiring scheme... my airbags are linked thru the hu steering wheel/cruise controls not the head unit... infact because i didnt get onstar im able to get away with alot more customization... im just sad i dont have a sunroof Quote J.

audiofanaticz Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Do keep in account though that bigger rims does lower your gear ratio (making you slower off the line) and just mess up the accurace of your speedometer. (just a little fyi) There are calculators to figure this out just like port calcs... just google tire calculator and you will find one. It will ask you to enter your stock tire size and then your new tire size. I know my 255-35-20s are 1.5 % slower then my stock 15s, so when Im doing 60mph, im actully only doing a little more then 59mph. This is the calculator I used, seems to be decent. and I checked it against a few others and seemed to be alright. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
