The entertainment system includes an AM/FM stereo, disc player, remote disc stacker, satellite connections, antenna control, and a built-in theft deterrent system, with variations depending on factory equipment. To remove the radio, disconnect the negative battery terminal, access the fuse box by removing the front kick panel, and take out the #5 mini fuse marked "RDO/CD." Next, remove the center console and instrument panel trim plate, ensuring any necessary HVAC control head adjustments are made for clearance. Unscrew the radio from the support bracket, pull it out to access electrical connections and the antenna cable, disconnect everything, and then remove the radio. Installation follows the reverse order, remembering to reactivate the theft deterrent system if it was originally activated. The theft deterrent system, GM's "TheftLock," activates when the radio or battery is disconnected, displaying "LOC" to indicate power removal, requiring a secret code for reactivation, which can be personal or obtained from the dealership if lost. Some models may have an XM radio receiver, with activation procedures available through customer service. For speaker removal, start with the door speakers by taking off the trim panel and speaker mounting fasteners, handling the assembly carefully to avoid damaging connections. For rear speakers in coupe models, raise the rear window panel, pry the speaker grill to disengage clips, and remove the speaker after disconnecting electrical connections. In convertible models, raise the top partially to access the rear section, remove fasteners and quarter sections, then disconnect the speaker. For hardtop models, remove rear compartment side panels and screws securing the speaker before disconnecting it. To remove the remote CD player, disconnect the negative battery terminal, access the fuse box, remove the RDO/CD fuse, and then take out the rear center section access panel. Expose the mounting bolts, disconnect electrical connectors, and remove the screws securing the CD player before taking it out along with the brackets, with installation being the reverse of removal.
