What parts do I need to install an aftermarket stereo?
What parts do I need to install an aftermarket stereo?
I want to put a new aftermarket stereo in my 01 Bonneville. I'm clueless as to what parts I'm going to need but I do know that you need a special adapter to keep your door chimes working and onstar working. What are all of the different parts I'm going to need to install a new radio and keep everything functioning properly and do you guys recommend any adapters?

This thread has, I believe, all of the information you need. It is missing some pictures, and I PM'd the author to see if he'd fix the pictures, but I haven't heard from him yet. Still, I think it has all the info you need:
