I have a 02 pontiac montana with factory dvd and overhead monitor. is it possible to replace factory stereo with aftermarket dash cd/dvd player and have it play through overhead monitor and aftermarket screen?

Jonathan,
You are trying to do something that may cost more than its worth!! Just take it to the local stereo shop and tell them what you want... if they are good.. they can do it!

Is the DVD slot in the dash board or in the second row? Does it appear to be factory installed or possibly aftermarket? If factory and in the front, I'd suspect it's for loading navigation system updates. Does your Navigator have factory navigation?

It appears to be that the radio clock display has malfunctioned, and is due for a replacement radio, which could be an aftermarket or oem radio, maybe found at a junk yard.

Tools required for oem replacement radio, torx keys set.

Before working on the radio or other electronics, disconnect the battery cables with 8mm wrench.

Replacing the oem radio is much easier, if you obtain oem radio, compared to aftermarket radio, due to being direct fit.

The radio is same for 1995 to 1999 Pontiac Sunfire and the Chevy Cavalier, regardless of sub models, such as SE,GT, VL,VLX,Z24. etc.

Parts needed for the the aftermarket radio install :Stereo assembly, stereo wiring harness adapter, radio antenna adapter, and dash install kit.wiring diagram for the wire colors / functions, along with tools, such as torx key set, screwdrivers,wire crimper, wire stripper, double ended wiring connectors, hair dryer.

The oem stereo removal video is for the 2000 to 2005 Sunfire / Cavalier, but are the same or very similar procedures.

Have a nice day.

If you're not familiar with removing parts inside a car then you probably shouldn't try it. Maybe go to a radio installer and see if they can give you some tips. It sounds like you're going to have to go to someplace to have it fixed or replaced anyhow.

Disconnect the negative battery cable from the Jeep Cherokee battery with the 10 mm wrench.

2 Remove the five screws on the top edge of the dash panel with a Phillips-head screwdriver.

3 Pry the trim panels surrounding the climate control knobs away from the dashboard with the trim panel removal tool.

4 Remove the trim panel that surrounds the headlamp switches (located to the left of the steering column) with a trim panel removal tool.

5 Remove the two screws behind the trim panel that surrounds the headlamp controls with a Phillips-head screwdriver.

6 Pull the dash panel that surrounds the stereo and covers the instrument panel of the Cherokee, away from the dashboard by hand.

7 Remove the two screws from the stereo mounting bracket. One screw is on the bottom left corner, the other screw is on the top right corner. Each screw can be removed with the 10 mm socket and drive.

8 Pull the factory stereo from the stereo mounting dock.

9 Disconnect the stereo wiring from the back of the factory unit.

10 Connect the Jeep Cherokee factory stereo wiring to a wiring harness adapter. Connect the wiring harness adapter leads to an aftermarket stereo. Slide the aftermarket stereo into the stereo mounting bracket and replaced two screws at the opposite corners with the 10 mm socket and drive.

11 Replace dash panel that stretches across the top of the steering column.

12 Replace the two screws at the top of the headlamp control switch. Replace the trim panel around the headlamp switch.

13 Replace the trim panel that surrounds the climate control knobs.

14 Replace the five screws on the top edge of the dashboard with a Phillips-head screwdriver.

15 Replace the negative battery cable over the negative battery terminal and tighten the cable to the negative lead post with the 10 mm wrench

I would recommend the MITCHELL'S Online Manuals. Go to www.mitchell.1.com and you can get a single subscription for about $10. When I had my own repiar shop I had te complete set of Mitchell's. Very complete and just a good as the factory repair manuals (maybe better). I especially liked the wiring diagrams. Very complete.
Good Luck. . . . . BTW, you SHOULD replace the head bolts regardless of which type of gasket you use. Once they are torqued, they shouldn't be used again.

you might have to take it to the dealership to have the radio reprogramed. it should only cost 40 bucks. these radios are very tempermental and have a mind of their own sometimes. My profesional recomendation would be to have an aftermarket cd player in. they are much nicer and have way better quality than the factory radio's

The only way to get this is from a Salvaged Truck. I Still have my cd Player in My 95' Silverado because I could not find one Either. I went ahead and Installed the Aftermarket System and just unhooked it.
