Aftermarket Radio Install on 2010 Lacrosse

[oaks' lacrosse]

So for anyone out there who is still interested in replacing their base radio (UYE radio only) in the 2010-2013 lacrosse, I figured out how to do it. There are not a lot of options out there that will fit the lacrosse but something such as the ILX-207 which is a 7 inch screen in a single DIN housing or one of Pioneer's DMH series (pioneer dmh at Crutchfield) is what we are looking at that will work unless Metra decides to finally release a dash kit. I chose to do it with an ILX-207 and I got it in today. I need to go back and clean up the wiring and add the backup camera (tested last night, worked fine) but that's for a sunny day. The Idatalink Maestro RR with a HRN-RR-GM2 interface harness, programmed to a Chevy Cruze is how I got Everything to work. Also, you will need to cut the sub dash plastic to fit the a single DIN up top. Not sure about the thin Pioneer DMH units. I also have my suspicions about using the Idatalink Maestro CAM1 harness, and that it will allow for control on the AC system, but it wasn't worth the extra $200 to try with everything else working.


You will need to order the following:

Radio of your choosing (must be a single DIN with touch screen(such as Alpine ILX-207) or Pioneer DMH-C2550NEX or similar Pioneer unit
GM PN: 09003997. This is an 8 inch touch screen surround for the 2012-2013 models. PN may vary by color, but I'm not sure.
HRN-RR-GM2 Idatalink harness
Idatalink Maestro RR
Oscillating cutting tool
Torx T-10 and Phillips #1, #2 screw drivers
Socket set with 7mm socket
Metra 40-EU55 antenna adapter
Metra 99-3011s (used to bolt in to the sub dash)

I know this thread is over a year old but I just got a 2010 LaCrosse with the 3.5" (base I guest) radio. The write up was a great start, including possible aftermarket head units and interface part numbers. Do you have any more details on the actual installation? Like what cutting (Oscillating cutting tool) will be required? And any other installation tips?
