First what year is it? If it is a 2000-2003 you will need to remove the dash pad itself to remove the cover for the radio. There are screws on both sides of the dash where the fuse panel is on the driver side and passenger side, also open the glove box there are two ontop in the front use a flash light to see them. Also the center air vent ontop of the dash has one or two that hold it on and maybe some underneth it. that should be most of them but check before you just rip it off. Next if you look across the top of the bezel (gauges and radio) there should be a few more. from there it should come right out. Then you should see what is left of the screws that hold in the radio…..
Any Cavalier that was made after and including 1995 requires you to remove the dash to get to the stereo. There's no way around this short of prying at your dash and hoping it flexes enough to get the stereo out - if you try this method, which I've seen people do before - you've got about a 1% chance of NOT breaking something.
Do it right, remove the dash. Pick up a Chiltons or Haynes manual for $20 and look at the instructions in there. $20 for a manual is way cheaper than a couple hundred bucks for a dash.
You will need a "Torx/Star" drill bit or driver to remover these screws...
(STEP1-)Open drivers door
(STEP2-)Use flathead screwdriver to pop-off panel where the fuse door is. (Pop the whole thing off...not just the fuse door)
(STEP3-)Unscrew the screw closest to the A/C vent
(STEP4-)On top of your dash, there are 2 or 3 screws with the Defrost vent...remove them and the vent
(STEP5-)Open passenger door
(STEP6-)Repeat step 2 (minus the fuse door)
(STEP7-)Repeat step 3
(STEP8-)Open glove compartment
(STEP9-)There are 2 or 3 screws on the top perimiter of the glove box...remove them
(STEP10-)Using a long screwdriver or nutdriver (not sure anymore), unscrew the two "brass-looking" screws INSIDE the glove box(on the roof of the glove box) they are right in the middle. DONT DROP THEM OR THEY WILL BE GONE FOREVER! (STEP11-)That does it for the top part...just start pulling it off (If you here snaps, its normal. Because it is also held in by clips)
(STEP12-)Unscrew the screws all along the top of the front dash trim
(STEP13-)Now start pulling the dash trim away from the dash
(STEP14-)While it is off, you will have to unsnap the dimmer control (from behind) and unplug the cig lighter (From the back. Also, the actual lighter stays in the dash trim)
ENJOY! and yes, you have to do steps 1 thru 11. if not, you will not be able to get to the screws holding on the front dash trim. It sounds tough. After you do it the first time, its no sweat.
To take out the radio on the 2000 Cav get ready to do some work. 1. Use a flathead screwdrive to pop out the side panels (the left is where the fuse panel is). 2. Open the glove box and look for two screws way in the back. Take those out (be careful not to drop them or they are gone forever) 3. Unscrew the vent up top near the windshield. 4. Gently pry the dash up. Be careful 5. Now the trim plate......take out all....all the screws that hold the trimplate down. If you want a lot of room to work pivot the plate up past the steering wheel colum (hard to do though) or unhook the fog lamp and acc ports (hard to do too). 6. Unscrew the radio and pull it out 7 Unplug the antenna (pull on it slowly it will come out) 8. Unplug the radio

First pull out the ash tray, this is where you find the first set of screws to remove the face plate. I can't remember more because it's been a while since i did mine, but this should be enough to get started. After you can pop off the face plate, there will be i believe 4 screws holding the radio in its position, use a long screwdriver so you don't hurt your hand.
Carefully. I have a99 cavalier and I had to remove everything up to the firewall to put in my aftermarket stereo. It is a project that will take a number of hours and will definalely help if you have the right tools!
With the help of a Trim Tool, carefully pry-out the center trim panel from around the radio. Remove the 4 screws, pull out radio, disconnect electrical plug and antenna. Installation is reverse.....
Yes. Far as I know all cars do. They dim for night driving and may not be readable in the day time.
First check the fuses.
The radio is connected via serial cable to vital electronic systems. You can purchase an extension cable to put the radio in the trunk or under a seat, it has to stay in the car, even if you want to put in an aftermarket deck.
Yes, But... the VIN number is stored in the radio. You will need to take your vehicle to someone (probably a GM dealer) the that has a Class 2 GM Scan tool and have them program the radio with your VIN number.
humming noise is a bad ground to the radio. you may have a loose connection. connect a ground wire to frame of truck.
A 2002 Chevy Impala does not come with an RCA jack. A jack can be added to the radio via an adapter.
The radio is fused Not the speakers. If you have a problem then the radio is the culprit.
The Chevy Impala did not come out in 2004. The eighth generation Impala came out in 2000 and then the ninth generation Impala came out in 2006. The tenth generation is expected for 2014.
