looks like it wont from what Ive read.
A place to start with replacing stereo in '07 G6
So I'm loving my 07 SE.
Factory deck is base , no mp3, no XM, no 6 cd changer.
The sound is very impressive for a factory.
I took advantage of my extended warranty plan with GM and had the back speakers replaced *cough*made a funny sound*cough* need to be replaced *ahem*
So that's done, sounds great.
Thing is, no mp3 capability is killing me. Xm and 6 cd changer I can live without but I really like the info center stuff for mileage, temp and oil & trip stuff etc.
I've seen multiple posts that some say you CAN upgrade, some say not 100%.
What are the options available to me? I imagine if an upgrade is possible from GM that it might cost an arm and a leg right?
I also saw a post or two that mention installing an input for an ipod or mp3 player? What's the success rate on that? Feasibility / cost?
Sorry for all the n00b questions right off the hop, just wanna get my baby sounding the way I want it too
Thanks for any info or help!!

I just picked up a spare 08 radio for $100....
So figure about that and some tech2 time is all you would
need if you do the install yourself for a stock replacement
for the AUX.

Thanks for the explaination. I don't have the tool so apparently I would be getting the dealer to do the install. I imagine that would be the same cost as purchasing the tool. /sarcasm
/sarcasmi'll take that "spare" 08 radio off your hands for $150....quick $50 profit :beer:I just picked up a spare 08 radio for $100....

You gonna pay for shipping too??
Only dealership's have tech2 and what your paying for is the Tech time.
Different dealershuips charge differently for this. Ive seen it run the gammit.
From free to $80. I paid $80 then found out another dealership wanted half that price. So shop around on the programming fee.
Just call the service dept and ask how much it would cost to reprogram a stock radio.
Im sure that Tech2 laptop costs about 5 grand so nooooo its not that big a pocketbook hit.

If that radio looks new and can play XM then I will. If you are serious about letting it go then PM me. If not then I'm just going to end up buying one off gmpartsdirect.You gonna pay for shipping too??

@datacat
just to make sure you know. The 08 radio will not play mp3 discs, only an external mp3 player.
The function graphics is the Canadian Version. it has a few symbols instead of words.
That is the only difference.
Like a picture of a round faced clock instead of "CLOCK". An arrow instead of it saying "ENTER".
Im guessing due to English/french up there that they wanted to make it easier on the Canuckleheads. lol
Thats the diff.
Here is mine (no graphic symbols)

'08 Stereo for $100 Bucks...?
Hey Lampoon...........Where on Earth did you find such a great deal on an '08 Stereo for so little? I am in desperate need for the upgrade for my '06.

Kevin is wrong.....sorry Kevin. Unless he has a 2009.5 with the black tie..?
Our radios will not play MP3. The 08+ Aux gets you by that though.
That radio in the picture was ordered and costs me ~$256.
here it is 1yr+ later and they can be found for cheaper.....but you must LOOK!
