Well my weekend stereo install went totally south. Ended up that the adapters from FutureShop were all the wrong type and they didn’t have the right ones at all for 2009’s.
So I had to order the right ones from a local car audio installer. The parts will not be in until Tue. 22nd. and the install kit (antenna adapter, face plate and wiring harness adapter) only works for the 2009 Aveo5 and G3.

i dont understand that last part, if it only works for the aveo5 and g3, that is what you have, besides that the sedan has the same dash.

there has been quite some difficulty in this though, maybe when you get your kit, you could post the part number so i can add it the the FAQ

[LarsBud]

That was the problem, the 2009 Aveo5 and G3 are one of a kind fit. I will past up the part #'s when I get the kit.

Well the kit came in and will be picking it up after work.
My friend is going to help me out with the soldering and install, Can't wait!!!!!!

i need to solder them though, my escort had 4 wires that came loose, i was pissed

[LarsBud]

Well I got the stereo in!!!!!!
The kit works with a little mod, was for the 2008's.
This is the Dask mounting kit that fit like a glove: Metra 99-3306 Double or singal DIM Cherolet Aveo 2007, Pontiac G3 2007
Wiring harness adapter: American International GWH-406 2006-08, you will just need to run a separate line to your acc. connection on the factory harness.
Antenna adaptor: Pro-link 40-DR10 CR-6
