I am trying to remove the center console of a 2003 chevy impala to install an after market radio. Can someone give me directions please?

You will need to splice the wires as it will be hard to find the right connector to attach to the harness wires. Use the wiring diagram for the car (get it at Alldatadiy.com) and the one that came with the Dual unit to figure out which wires connect to each other.

your local radio installation shop should have a bypass module

Temp fix is remove negative cable off battery for a few mins ,then replace,light might come back on but go to autozone have them do a code reader to tell what light means(if the code tells what is wrong)

This may be a anti-theft issue. If it is and you want it fixed, the Chevy Dealter is probably the best place to have this work done, IF it can be done at all. My Chevy radio instructions tell me that if there is a genuine power loss to the radio when the anti theft system is activated (like someone breaking into the car and stealing it, cutting the wires) that the radio will not work again with out GM intervention.

I think you may have read it incorrectly...you do not disarm it, you need to know the code, so when you are finished, you can turn it back on.
If you don't have the code the dealer can give it to you.

You open your bonnet, remove the bulb, check the watts and replace with a higher wattage bulb.

sounds like that the position cable is seizing up seek WD 40 service perhaps !!

Basically:

1: remove center console - 2 parts where the shifter is located... all of em use clips - just give it a nice pull and it'll pop off
2: remove driver side panel attached to radio console( 2 clips only)
3: remove screw found behind center pocket under a/c control
4: pop out a/c unit (4 clips - 2 on top 2 on bottom) just give it a nice pull... (was scary at first but easy and won't break anything)
5: pull entire front center panel (silver piece that covers radio/ac etc etc)
6: radio is attached via 4 screws - 2 on bottom - 2 on side
7: remove radio
8: make sure u have the AI install kit to install radio w/
9: reattach everything n you're done!
