You will need a 'Integration Adapter' to retain your saftey features when installing an aftermarket stereo. Typically they run 40-80$ but you can get them at a discount when purchasing the rest of the equipment. In total, you're going to need the Integration adapter, an antenna adapter and a in-dash reciever kit. You can find all of these items at Crutchfield.com ~

Would this be the same one for a 2002 Sunfire?

Yes you will need an intregration adapter for the 02 sunfire, and yes it is the same. I urge you to purchase the adapters WITH the recievers, they chopped the price in half for me. (saved 40$)
