Yes you can put an after market CD player in your Impala but you must have these things to do so. (Works with 2000 - 2005 Chevy Impala)
1. An aftermarket CD player. (Any kind)
2. Dash adapter kit.
(Search www.google.com/products for " Radio Kit 02 Impala ")
3. T-harness to relocate factory radio to the trunk as to preserve the cars on-board computer and retain the ability to reset messages such as time for an oil change which is done through the factory radio.
(Search www.google.com/products for " Scosche GM06B ")
4. Patience, about 2 Hours, and the willingness to remove and reinstall your dash and trim panels.
NOTE: ALWAYS REMOVE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL BEFORE DOING ANY OF THE STEPS BELOW. DO NOT RECONNECT UNTIL ALL ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS ARE MADE AND SECURE.
NOTE: The instructions provided with the T-harness say that you should disconnect the airbags before proceeding as there is a risk they may go off unintentionally. However GM/Chevrolet says that under no circumstances should you ever disconnect the airbag (SRS) system. Even with the negative battery terminal disconnected the airbags could still go off causing personal injury. I my self have done this procedure many times and have NEVER disable the airbags, with no negative effects. It is up to you EITHER WAY PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK.
Dash removal instructions see page 18 of the link below.

Route harness wire under dash to far passenger side of car remove bottom and side door trim from front and back passenger doors to release carpeting so that you can run the wires underneath it. Remove back seat (bottom and back) and look for a hole maybe covered in a black rubber type substance with a black plastic tube filled with wires going through it. Pull back rubber sealer and push harness through into the trunk and replace seal as best as possible.
Make sure to secure the factory radio in the trunk so that it does not slide around and get damaged.
Install your dash kit. (Should come with instructions, kind of a no brainer)
Color match the T-harness's wires and the radio harness wires and secure with caps.
NOTE: Impalas have a system known as RAP or Retained Accessory Power allowing the vehicles radio and windows to function for 10 minutes after the car is shut off and the key is removed, or until a door is opened. Due to this aftermarket radios work incorrectly with the RED accessory wire provided on the T-harness. To fix this do not use the RED wire from the T-harness instead hook the RED wire from your CD player's harness to an accessory wire located behind the glove box. (See impala notes in the box at the bottom of the instructions that came with the T-harness for which wire to use.)
Install metal CD player holder into dash kit and bend in the prongs to secure in place.
CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS TO MAKE SURE THEY ARE CAPPED AND NO BARE WIRES ARE EXPOSED.
Connect wire harness to CD player and slide CD player in until it clicks in secure.
Reconnect the negative battery terminal and start your car or turn it to the ON position. Check to make sure both the aftermarket and the factory radio work correctly, as well as all other aspects of the car. (Factory radio will have no sound but should otherwise function correctly.)
If all works reassemble your car and your done.
What does p0742 mean on a Chevy Impala?
P0742 means that your torque converter clutch circuit (TCC) is or was stuck on. In other words, the lock-up torque converter was engaged when it wasn't supposed to be.
The torque converter uses transmission fluid at lower speeds to transfer motion from the part of the transmission connected to the engine to the parts of the transmission connected to the drive shafts. This is what allows you to stop your car at a stop light without having the car die.
When the torque converter engages ("locks-up"), a clutch engages, creating a mechanical connection that makes both parts move together more efficiently at higher speeds (above ~49 mph). This allows you to get better gas mileage on the highway, since the fluid coupling is not very efficient at those speeds.
If your TCC fails to disengage or engages when it is not supposed to, it will set this code. You may notice the car chuggling at lower speeds or dying at stops.
This problem may be caused by a failing TCC solenoid in the transmission. The 4T65E transmission in Impalas is completely electronically controlled. However, it may also be caused by other transmission problems.

Will a 1998 Chevy lift kit fit on a 06 Chevy?
Definitely not only 88-2000 Chevy these are referred to the c1500 or k1500 c is for 2wheel drive k is for 4wheel drive. Also c2500 and k2500 are 3/4 ton. 2000-2006 (the new body style remember the gm strike) are completely different frames a-arms etc. That's also when Chevy rolled out and renamed the half ton the silverado1500 series and were available with these engines 4.8 5.3 and the 6.0 in some denalis. I believe cst fabtech rancho tuff country and rough country all make lift kits for your 2006 Chevy. Check craigslist always good deals on there and rough country just came out with a new kit that is redesigned and a little cheaper than their old kit .

How to change the 2000 Chevy Impala blower?
If it is anything like the 01 it is located under the glove box. Remove plastic cover panel by pushing in on the two clips and dropping it down. On my 01 there was a plastic clip back towards the motor a little. Just pull down and it should release. I also removed the door to the glove box to add visibility. There is three screws holding to the shroud. There was also a wiring harness clip that I just broke off to get out the way. Better if you can unclip it. It is a pain to access when you weigh 350 and try to get in there.
