Feels very cheap compared to the factory radio. After 7 years it has started to random start displaying everything in Chinese characters. Still faintly visible after the car and retained power shut off. Hope it isn't draining my battery while I'm at work.

Does the job

It fits perfectly in my car and blends seamlessly into the dash. I wish Metra put more thought into the display to make it a little more in this century. It looks older than my factory radio display itself. The buttons are squishy, but you don't use them as much when its not tied to the radio anymore. As the only option for retaining the driver info center, it does the job. Crutchfield provides excellent instructions on how to disassemble the dash of my car, which is fantastic considering how much work it is to replace the stereo.

Nice fit; easy install

Looks nice; the display is kind of 8-bit retro. Had an issue immediately on the first one; Crutchfield replaced it immediately. Buttons are a little squishy and don't always make contact. All my '07 base-model Malibu DIC functions seem to work. My new Kenwood single-DIN mounting sleeve slipped right in - I appreciated the Metra-supplied spacer to move the receiver "out" about 3/8" - looks better.

Not Functional After a Year

Worked OK for the first year but buttons need to be pushed many times. Now I can't even change the time since the buttons no longer respond. Wasn't worth spending this much. I should have just installed the stereo by itself since I can't access the Driver Info Center after only a year.

Over-priced piece of junk.

If this unit cost less, then I'd say it's worth it. But for the price you have to pay for it, it's a ripoff. My 2006 Malibu Maxx has the rear-seat entertainment console (RSE) People in the back seat can play DVDs or listen to CDs with headphones. When the factory radio is installed, it works perfectly. But when this Metra junk is put in, the RSE won't even power on. I contacted Metra directly, asking them what I have to change to make it work properly and this is what they replied with: "...we have nothing to keep the rear seat entertainment in these vehicles since they only work with the factory radio...We don't have a solution for it." Metra doesn't get that the whole point of buying their overpriced adapter is that we don't WANT to be stuck with the factory radio! Also, the buttons are flimsy and make poor contact. Sometimes you have to press the button really hard, and several times in a row, in order to change the menu options. There are only 3 of them, so it's not like they saved a ton of money by using faulty buttons. You'd think that for the price, they'd put on buttons that work. I do not recommend this product, or anything else by Metra.

Works As Intended

Overall, it works just as intended and I didn't have any issues with it. However, the instructions that come with it are terrible for someone who's completely new to putting in a car stereo. If you're an experienced person you won't have any issues at all. I wish Crutchfield had a instruction sheet of their own for this kit, since I had no idea what to do with the wiring harness or how to connect the wires from the stereo. It may not be clear from the picture but both the screen and the buttons are backlit. The screen quality is pretty poor compared to the screen that comes with the factory radio, and the display can get quite slow when its cold outside. The buttons also require a bit of a push to switch between modes. I wish for the high price the quality would be a little better, but its the only thing of its kind out there. Overall, I'm satisfied with it but if there was a competitor with a better quality screen or buttons I would go there.

The kit does everything on my 2007 Malibu. The entire message center and chimes are functional through this device. You will loose the steering wheel controls but there is a separate device for that. The only negative aspect is the price. There is not much to this unit to justify the price but there is really nothing else on the market that I could find to keep the message center information.

Keep your DIC...but pay for it!

The Metra 99-3303 does what it claims. Construction seems a little cheap for such an expensive adapter. If you have a Pontiac G6 GT Convertible you do not want to lose your DIC alerts that tell you the status of your top position. So I would like to thank Pontiac engineers for integrating the DIC into the radio and costing me way too much when a much less expensive adapter would have done the job. Best way to buy it is as a kit from Crutchfield.

Perfect item at the best price you can find, period.

This product exceeded my expectations. As the model is known for, the CD player in the stock (non-Monsoon) radio in our 2008 Pontiac G6 went bad, but to replace it is a hassle because of its custom size and the fact that the radio is coded to the car originally. You could put in a single din receiver or other full size, but you lose the car's information system features....unless you use this awesome little product. ALL of the functions I had before work, and, frankly, it looks nice than the original. Best of all, I looked all over for as good price on this, and hands-down, when you buy it from Crutchfield with a receiver, it is the absolute lowest price available anywhere, period. We are very happy with the mix of this item and a Pioneer receiver and speakers we installed, all from Crutchfield.

Did everything it promised and made it possible for me to keep my 2006 Malibu Maxx computer function when I got rid of the stock radio

Product Works

Installed this into a 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx, working perfectly well - displays outdoor temp and time, and performs all the functions of the trip computer that showed up on the factory stereo. The brightness control was difficult to get working (I made the adjustment during the day, maybe the levels were just too close together to tell in the light), but everything else works as you would expect. The plastic bevel around the screen is fairly deep, so with the unit positioned near the bottom of the dash, it makes it a little hard to see the characters. It replaces all the trip computer functionality that you lose when you take out the factory stereo, so it does the job adequately, but it's definitely not an upgrade from the original display.

A real MUST have for a G6

I wasn't going to consider swapping out the Monsoon system in my G6 if I couldn't keep the Status Display. Metra really came through with this product. Once the harness is put together with the radio, it's essentially plug and play from there. I've read complaints about the buttons, but they work well enough, and they're color customizable too (it also helps if you're doing the adjusting at night so the changes are more visible). I've matched the new head unit and the Metra button colors to the dash panel color of my car, and it doesn't look out of place (the LCD display doesn't change colors though). I'm happier now that my status display is still there, the new head unit fits into the Metra perfectly, and I didn't need an electrical degree to get it all to work. And with Crutchfield tech support having my back, I'm more confide than ever that I'll be able to enjoy this setup for a long time to come.

Not Bad

This unit blends in well with my interior. It looks like it was factory installed. This is a fairly easy install on the 2006 Malibu. It retains all on board computer information which is nice.

So like everyone is saying the buttons are horrible it really should be a better quality. I believe at some the information button will probably not be working shortly. Overall it keeps the factory info system and you can improve your stereo with blue tooth and the bells and whistles.

2007 Malibu LS

Works and looks really good in my 2007 Malibu. I don't have Onstar, so I was a bit worried that it wouldn't be compatible, but no problem...the Onstar wires are separate and you just don't plug them in. Crutchfield made the installation process so easy, I would not buy from anyone else!

Nice!

This kit fit nicely inside my G6's dash. The buttons work pretty good, but I wish they were more responsive. The screen looks good - very clear and easy to read, but the white-color backlighting is there to stay. The rest of my dash is lighted red, so it's a little out of place. Not a huge deal, but a multi-colored screen is something that should be looked into.

Factory settings

For the price you pay it should include the steering wheel controls too. Unit works and displays everything the factory did. The biggest problem is the buttons do not instantly change settings, they are not hard to push it's just that you have to push them multiple times for it to change. One would think that with technology today this would have been ungraded by now. Don't get me wrong I like the information like time, temp, trip, gas mileage, oil change etc, but this is the only way to get it. I really wanted a double din touch screen unit but it's not available with the information system. A little retarded but it is what it is.

Could Be Better

You NEED this

Okay, let's just face the facts: you NEED this product. GE, in their infinite wisdom, tied the very important Driver Info. Center to the stock stereo. There's no getting around it. This is the only product on the market that I have been able to find which allows you to put an aftermarket stereo in an 05 Malibu and keep the DIC. Thankfully the product is good. The black ABS material looks exactly like the cover to the AC controls that lie underneath, so it really matches the interior. The display and buttons themselves are functional, if not the prettiest thing in the world. The buttons are a little mushy too. They feel spongy, they don't have the sharp feedback and response I would have liked. Sometimes it takes a few tries to get them to register, but this is a minor complaint. You can customize the back-light on the buttons (not the display) between red and green, to better match your stereo. Installation was simple (although taking apart the dash to get to the radio wasn't, but that's GE's fault.) You just plug it into the wires in the car (the kit includes the appropriate wire harness) and you're good to go, no need to reprogram any computers in the car. The only other thing I will mention is that the single DIN stereo I purchased sits a little bit sunken into the adapter, it's not flush with the surface. There is a plastic sleeve that allows the stereo to sit forward about a half of an inch, but I didn't notice it until after I have already installed the cage.

2007 pontiac G6

Required for aftermarket head unit install on pontiac vehicles. Works as described for the most part, color change options are for buttons only (green or amber), the display is backlit white. Display brightness is adjustable (and dims as well), but needs to be set on any level lower than the highest setting for dimming to work, and only dims while interior lights are on via auto or switched on manually (during the day the display will be at full brightness). This will keep your retained accessory power and chimes, but the only thing this will NOT provide is an illumination wire hookup for most head unit harnesses. I had to wire mine separately to a switched 12v accessory line, all other wires will match color to color. I was told by Crutchfield support that the PAC OS-311B would provide this illumination wire if you need it, but my vehicle doesn't have OnStar or steering controls and this provides RAP/chimes, so the extra expense was not justified. Keep in mind that with the pontiac some menu options are not available while you're driving, so if you're having trouble getting into the info+menu options or other options, try it while your car is in park (mine would back out of the menus automatically sometimes). I have read that without this device, you may start getting error codes from your BCM about airbags and other systems without this installed-- your mileage may vary and this may be a hit or miss issue for your vehicle.

Didnt need

1st off, the 05 Cobalt does not require this equipment. The data is still displayed on the instrament cluster on dash, so now i have two displays of the same info. It would have been cheaper to just go with the adapter intead of this, and the added space would have been nice under the head unit. 2nd off, its ugly. Looks cheap, and the black housing does not match the siver plastic of the center dash. 3rd off, How does GM justify routing all dash data through the frickin head unit?! I understand that in the more expensive models the display is actually in the radio display, but not all their vehicles. This was bull from the start. GM must have a side intrest in the company that makes these units.

On overpriced, cheap made necessity if you want to install an aftermar

This is something that unfortunately you need to be able to install a aftermarket stereo in you Pontiac vehicle, however this product is cheaply made. Display is way to bright with flimsy buttons and and cheap back on the display. It should be able to be removed from the bezel that way you can choose to mount it on the dashboard or to just hide it in the glove compartment if you choose to install a double din.

it works...

First of all, I didn't install this into my dash so I can't speak for fitment. I wanted to keep my DIC in my 2005 Pontiac G6 but I also wanted a double din stereo so I extend the wires and installed it in the glove box. Everything works, but like many others have said, the buttons are not reliable. They take several pushes to get the information to change on the screen. It feels like a low quality part, especially considering the cost. I gave it 3 stars, based on the button functionality and the cost.

After installing the first one and finding out that it was defective I was not pleased to have to take it back out and wait to do it all over again only to cross my fingers that the second one will work. Luckily it did. Crutchfield was great throughout the whole thing, from the great tech support and troubleshooting to the overnighting the second unit. I feel like they should send you three of these at once and hopefully one will work and then send the others back. The second one is working fine for now. The buttons don't always work the first time you press them. Cheaply made and over priced but it does the job.
