How to install my cd player on 2000-2003 buick lesabre?

Answer 1

Your car is a little trickier than most, but it can be done. You've got a GM "dock and lock" type radio; it was only used in the LeSabre, Bonneville and Aurora.

You can use the standard GM double-DIN type mounting kit, like a Metra 99-2003 or an American International GMK-420. This radio doesn't use a standard GM type antenna; instead you'll need a Volkswagen style antenna adapter like the Metra 40-VW10. Those parts can be purchased at any car audio store. You'll have to make new holes in your sub-dash to mount the kit, but these won't be visible when the dash bezel is replaced.

The wire harness is another story; you've got the ribbon-cable type flat connector and a data-bus controlled radio that generates your vehicle's warning chimes. A good adapter harness module would be the PAC C2R-GM32R http://www.autotoys.com/x/catalog/PAC_C2RGM32R_32_PIN_RADIO_INTERFACE_p_7692.html which will retain the vehicle warning chimes and generate a switched power source for your new radio. However, this isn't for vehicles with Onstar; if you have Onstar and want to keep it, you'll need a different module http://www.soundgate.com/index.php?request=product.details&categoryid=205&productid=513&usereferrer=1& that may be harder to find.

Once you've got all the parts, you have to remove the entire dash panel to get the radio out. First pull off the panels over the windshield pillars on each side. Then pull off the panels on each end of the dash, accessible when you open the doors. There will be a screw under each end panel that you need to remove. After that there are some push-pin type fasteners underneath the bottom edge of the upper dash pad; remove the fasteners, then remove the panel underneath the edge of the pad; then remove all the screws that hold the dash pad down, then pull the dash pad out. If you're not too tired yet, you can now carefully pry off the entire panel across the dash that surrounds the radio, climate controls and instrument panel.
