Updated: 11/1/2022

yes you can install an aftermarket radio in a GM vehicle that is equiped with a theft lock radio. the radio itsel has the theftlock not the car so you can install any aftermarket radio in the car. There may be some other parts that you may need to install an aftermarket radio such as a dash kit, wiring harness and antenna adaptor. If your vehicle is a newer model with Bose and onstar, you may need an integration kit made by PAC-audio.

Where do you connect the red power wire for aftermarket radio in new gm?

That depends. There should be two red power wires on the back of an aftermarket deck. One will be 'constant' power, the other will be 'switched' power. The 'constant' one always has power, so that radio stations and other settings aren't erased when the vehicle is turned off. I'm assuming you're not using an adapter harness to connect the aftermarket deck directly to the GM radio harness.(always the preferable option) Most of the time(when not using an adapter harness) I will locate a pre-existing wire in the dash that is 'constant', and tap into that for the 'constant'. The 'switched' power can be connected to the factory radio's 'switched' power source. You'll have to figure out which wire that is in the GM harness and connect to that, or (not so ideally) cut that wire and connect it to the deck.

Will the radio from a 1996 grand prix work in a 1995 grand prix?

Some radios come stock with a code, or a encryption system, with the encryption system, you will need to talk to your local dealer to find. Although it may be the same car and radio, sometimes the stock radio will ONLY WORK WITH ITS ORIGINAL CAR..-ShockerGM Radios up to 1999 had Delco Theftlock version 1 which made it so that if a radio was removed with the Theftlock feature enabled, it would lock upon placing the radio in another vehicle, or when power was re-applied (after disconnecting the battery, for example). If you have the code for the radio that you are going to use, placement in the 1995 Grand Prix will require you to unlock it after power is supplied (unlock procedures are detailed in the Owner's Manual) GM Radios in 2000 and on include Theftlock 2 where the VIN is held in a PROM or EEPROM in the radio itself and will not work if the VIN does not match on the car. Resetting the VIN in a Theftlock 2 Radio requires going to a dealer and having them connect a device called the Tech II. The technician can then reset the VIN in the radio to make it work. -RebelGTP
