Thank you for the feeback, adding rear speakers just is not in the budget right now,.

Might save you some money - as the head unit is "lacking power" in the rear speaker outputs.

Hope it helps,
Thanks for the excellent step-by-step guide.

well sorry to say but this is not a repost. Here is a quick update folks- on wed of this week i went out to take the hhr to a buisness meeting. 100% dead car. No lights were left on, and no door was open. Found out the hard way that when there is no power at all, you cannot shift the hhr from park! Imagine trying to jump the car in a garage with only 8 foot cables, my god did that suck. After getting it up a running i drove it to the dealer as the radio had completely stopped working the day before, so i had planned on taking it in anyway.

So, the radio (premium 6 disc) is being replaced, and they are still trying to find out what caused the battery to die completely. On a side note, the turn signals stopped making the blinking noise as well. Hopefully everytnig will get fixed, but it is going to take until next week to know what has happened as the dealer is perplexed.

BTW, i had pushed down all the fuses when we bought the car, and i checked them again before i took it in, and they were all loose again, even with the fuse cover installed properly.

Ill try to keep you guys more informed as i know more.

Why would this be hard? It's just like starting any other car. The Red Positive cable goes on the "+" Terminal, and the Negative cable goes on the driver side strut tower bolt. Am I missing something from your post?

Yeah, it was in the garage. I assume he means the cables wouldn't reach.
