Crutchfield sells a kit that allows you to install a single din aftermarket stereo where the pocket under the A/C controls are located.
you have to buy a kit, the kit will come with two U shaped tools, these insert into holes on the side of the oem stereo and are the only way to pull it out.
To install an aftermarket stereo in a 2003 Montana you need to first buy a trim plate or a mounting bracket. Remove the dash panel. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.

who says you can't? I replaced the stereo myself on my 93 ford explorer with an aftermarket stereo with no problem.
If you're looking to install an aftermarket stereo system then you need to purchase a dash install kit. You can pick them up at Walmart if need be, they're about $20.

i would go to the experts on this one,like Hi-fi buys, Circuit City, etc. that do this everyday.
Same as most cars. You need a dash kit to adapt the DIN size aftermarket radio to the GM DIN and a half opening, then you need the appropriate wiring adapter so the plug from the aftermarket unit can plug into the Lumina's plug.
You can install an after-market stereo in an on-star equipped vehicle, just go to crutchfield.com, but you lose the on-star functionality.
yes
We have put an aftermarket car stereo in a car with the controls on the steering wheel. You have to check to see if an aftermarket wiring harness is available for that year and model.
I put an aftermarket system in my intrigue, and don't recall a "stereo accessory wire". Do you mean the power antenna wire? Or is this a wire on your aftermarket box? Here's a GM diagram: http://www.installdr.com/Harnesses/GM-Wiring.pdf
