      Replacing factory radio with after market radio

      I'm considering replacing the factory radio of our Aveo in the future with an after market radio.

      I've taken a picture of the current radio.

      Does anyone know wether this radio features RCA outputs?

      I've noticed that the open door signal comes from the door speakers (so the factory radio must be involved in this). It also seems that several car related settings are configured through the radio.

      Does this mean that it's impossible to remove this factory radio?

      You can get a kit for the door chimes, and no, factory radios don't have rca outs

      you can install an adapter such as the one stated below that will allow you to keep your factory features such as on-star, door chimes, etc. They sell them at crutchfield.com. and if your going to go through all of the trouble of maintaining all of the features look into a good double din head unit that at minimum lights up with the same colors as the rest of your interior illumination lights.

      Checked the link for Metra GMOS-01 but on the website it says it does not fit on Aveo 2010/2011.

      Can you please help look for what is compatible for Aveo 2010?
