Off topic, can you please install a video on how to install fog light on a 2003 chevy malibu classic

[genevascott]

my son is 17 an he has his first car 05 chev malibu an he’s trying to put in new stereo. Does he have to put certain radios in the car?

[davyboy]

Question - I'm about to install an aftermarket stereo for an 03 Chevy Malibu. I've heard there is a weird support piece that prevents the stereo from going in. Are those spacers what allows it to fit, or do I need to remove the support piece from the vehicle?

[bdubstudios]

I've been trying to install an after market radio in my 2002 Malibu and have been unable to find the accessory wire in the car harness. The color code appears to be the same as what you've listed, which also does not identify an accessory wire. Am I missing something?

[thatslegit]

this car doesnt have a traditional redwire for power when key is set to accessory. How did you make yours work? like what wires from the car needs to be connected to the radio signal wire?

[BroAnarchy]

I have an 03 Malibu, but it has the Cassette Player (which your car didn't have) Is the AXVI-2003 harness still appropriate for my car?

[seventh.alchemist]

I assume all the cords go with the radio you have listed as your personal preference ?

[raymondjastrzab]

How do you view the drivers information center info?
Is there a video on that component? I know they make a DIC relocation unit.

[timpeterson]

Good video, the Ebay link for the AXVI-2003 Harness Adapter says it fits Chevy Malibu excluding Classic but the description here says the parts list is for Malibu and Malibu Classic. Do these parts work for the Classic models?

[KngMetr]

I bought a 2003 Malibu and the previous owner had installed a new stereo amp sub and some other stuff non of witch work not to mention I have loose wires down by the peddles and I’m curious of where to try and figure out how to fix all of this

[TheBMF]

Do u know where the fuse is for this car for the radio mine powered off I don't know if it's the fuse or the radio

[huntermoffitt]

I have power to my radio it just wont turn on and the anti theft comes on. Any advice

[raynabryant]

So I don't have enough power with just it plugged into the harness I had to run and extra accessory wire to the aux/cig fuse. But it killed my battery what else can I do?

[m_ilk]

I’m counfused, where do they install the single din screen they show at the the beginning of the video? I’m interested in installing one in my 03 Malibu

[craigcomstock]

Hi I'm installing an aftermarket head unit on this vehicle.where is my switched power on cars stereo wire harness

[robcampbell]

I have a 2004 Malibu classic I bought a harness off eBay it plugs in and my radio won't turn on there's no power to it what could be the problem

[legomaster]

Any issues with the “theft” system? I’ve got a 2001 Malibu and have heard there might be issues when one replaces the factory stereo.

[michaelc]

Why does noone just make a list of colors of the factory wires so i can splice an adapter? Been looking all day and none are correct for 2003 malibu. Theres only one yellow wire and all places say its for memory wire and speaker wire. It cant be both. People are morons online.
