Thank you, GM, for designing this car like like a bunch of idiots. Seriously, there are so many examples of this kind of annoyingly involved process to get at anything in the car that even the dealership techs will try the less-common solutions first simply because they're easier to access! I know GM isn't the only car company making it hard for people to get into the guts of the cars and replace simple things, but it's particularly egregious on the G6, along with other dumb design choices.
@Chasmodius9 жыл бұрын
Okay, so in the case of the car stereo, it's true that they used to be the prime theft target in bad neighborhoods, so it might make sense to make the removal process tricky, but is that still a major concern?
@georgequinnell95066 жыл бұрын
Even if "theft of the radio" was an excuse, the G6 was designed all over like this. Want to replace your steering wheel emblem? Why not remove your entire steering wheel airbag while you're at it? It's stupid, and a job that would take 5-10 minutes on your average vehicle becomes an entire day's worth of work on a G6.

Ever do parking brake cables? See back seat removal, console removal, door trim removal and hack the carpet out with a knife so you don't have to remove seat belts. Then if you buy Delco parts 1 cable is 3" shorter and the other is 6" longer. They go in the opposite direction of the ones that came out and route over the axle instead of under. My sympathy to the heater core job, SCRAP THE CAR! Personally I do NOT own GM cars, I bought it to help a friend out who needed a car.

Anyone have any idea how much a dealership would charge to buy and install a 2008 head unit for a G6? CD player crapped out on me and won't eject in my 2006. Figured if I were to replace it, I'd go with an '08 model for the aux input. The fact that they apparently want $75-150 just to program the unit is ridiculous. Curious to know what they'd charge for the entire install.
