i was at walmart today and i saw a SOSCHE harness and box thing (idk what it did) which allows all GM type cars to retain the chimes,and saftey lights, IT will not work with onstar , but im guessing you have the monsoon system? which im not 100% sure (haavent tryed myself) it was on sale for 30.99 you can also check local audio stores (custom audio in NY) wanted 149.99 JUST for the harness. if i can find it again online i will post a link.


EDIT: i found a similar product (walmart didnt have it on website)

If you have a monsoon system in your car you will need a new wiring harness. I was looking into changing the radio in my 03 Grand Am monsoon radio. Over $100 for new harness even on Ebay. Good luck
