is it hard to install a stock cd player in at 97 cavalier Z24? i have had the dash off many times and seen that the cd player is only held in by a few screws I just need to know about theft lock. Will that be a problem? any help would be appreciated
thanks

i don't think you'll have a problem unless the radio has the RDS crap in it. what year stereo are you putting in?
GO PATS!!!
i am going to try to get the same year at the local salvage yard

whats wrong with the one you have now?
really, if you're going to go through the trouble, why not buy an aftermarket deck?
GO PATS!!!
well the one I have now the cd player doesn't work. I don't want to bother with an aftermark unit. I have never been a big fan of detachable face cd players

RDS is a radio feature. Nothing to worry about.
You can swap in most GM head units, as long as they'll physically fit, up to around 99... there's nice ones in the Alero's and Malibu's... just make sure the plug on the back is the same, it should swap right over.
There is the "Theftlock" feature in the older radios (as opposed to the 2000+ decks which learn part of the VIN from your computer... another story tho... doesn't affect your car)... if the code has been set, there's ways to clear it easy enough... do a Google search for Theftlock and you'll find the instructions. They may even be in the Library FAQ here... (I can't remember)
