[Music]
we're gonna be installing a radio this
one's actually coming out from a car and
I'm putting it on Yukon but we're gonna
actually eliminate the theft light so
this actually came out from a Malibu or
a named Apollo something like that but
it actually bolts up everything plugs in
the same so first thing what we need to
go ahead and do on the radio so we need
to go ahead and unbolt these so one two
three four and then that would be the
fifth so there will be two in the back
of the radio so one two and then on just
this side so we'll bolts one or just up
on top so just pretty much just one bolt
that we need on bolt and then after you
get in a bolted pretty much the radio
will kind of sit like that and then you
slide it right out
lift up pull it back and then that's for
this guy right here
this guy will just literally just pop
out just like that so right here you can
see that one four eight five so I
watched a few videos I guess we have to
break off this chip because that's what
actually reads the VIN so we can
actually just break it off from right
here just go ahead and break it up make
sure you don't damage the solder points
that are right here just break this
without the camera in the way
so here's the chip right here so once
you do this there's pretty much no going
back
less if you desolder eight then you go
back so I just want you to be fully
aware that take this at your own risk
I'm not responsible for any damages if
it doesn't work and then once we're done
putting everything back together we're
gonna go ahead and do the process for
the radio all right so now that we have
the stereo installed we're gonna go
ahead and put the key on the on position
but not starting so it's gonna say no
VIN take out the key without hope in the
driver door I think you need to do with
this about two to three times close the
door
no van take out the key do it this time
or the next one it's not this one a
[Music]
couple seconds okay there we have it so
this one I had to do it took three to
three times or four times so how to do
this one four times for it to work so
obviously you can hear it turn on and
actually want to kind of let's see if it
actually stores a radio so let's put FM
just in case because I don't want to be
resetting these fact they're soul
and I don't have that antenna connected
em right now so let's just say we have
those to take those off
make the right back in okay so yeah that
actually works out pretty great so got
the stereo from again the chevy malibu
spent $20 on the stereo I didn't want to
spend 200 bucks on that save the
customer a couple hundred bucks if this
