If you dont care about the chimes working just hard wire it, or you can get a harness that will keep the chimes working. If you have Onstar and want it to work you can not hardwire it in there.

I agree with all dbarber said.
Could he have been thinking about switching to another factory radio? To do that you do have to reflash the car so it recognizes the new unit. But for aftermarket, there's no chip or flash. Just a harness to use tio keep all the warning chimes.
