I was wondering if anyone has any idea where i might be able to find a wire harness for an aftermarket radio on an 05. Ive come to realize that the 05 stock radio has a different harness than 04 and below. I have been able to find them at local stores (best buy, circuit city) however they are asking about $120.00 or more! No way am I paying that for a simple wire harness. Anyone any alternative suggestions? Is hard wiring an option? Also would anyone know why the 05 harness is so expen$ive?

How did you come to realize the '05 is different from the others? Because as far as anyone around here knows, they aren't.Also, I have -no- idea what they're trying to sell you at BB and CC, the harness that they would sell for the newer GM radios is $60.

I've put a 6CD from a 2004 into a 2005, no problems and no harness changes. As Jahntassa said, we're not aware of any differences. Can you post some specifics so we know?

well its obvious the people at cc & bb dont have a clue cause at first they sold me a harness for a matrix and told me that it would work( I should have pulled the stock radio first). Any way it wasn't even close. than they proceded to tell me that the harness that I needed was $120.00. Well guess Im screwed for now.

Depending on the store you go to, you need harness 70-2003 (80-2003 for CC). It is NOT 80-2003T, there should be no T in the harness.You also need a 40-GM10 for the antenna. Plus the fit-kit. Overall the whole thing should be around $40-$50. More or less plug and play from there with the exception of connecting up the harnesses.
