Swapping OEM head unit for another OEM unit...???
guys trying to figure this out, my 03 MC came with the stock head unit that has only a CD player in it, i'm trying to find out will one from an 04 MC with a cassette player included in it also works, or will i run into any reprogramming / security issues by doing a direct swap?
Mucho gracias for any help amigos.

GM Tech II's are typically owned by GM new car dealerships. Sometimes you find niche service industries like air bag repair that has them.
Most people will not have one as those scan tools are super expensive.
And I can confirm, yes, it will need programmed for your car. I find it surprising anyone wants a CD player with tape deck. BTW - If you want to play MP3s off a CD there is a unit GM never offered that will work in the car (I'm running one myself).

wait thats not complety true, i have the stock radio with both the cd player and the cassette player and i use mainly the cassette adapter. it works fine, but i will say this, it did take some time and patience before it finally kept the adapter. it did keep rejecting it but i did have to keep sticking it in there, eventually it just sat there and took it....u get my point tho

yea something like that, i would imagine that they connect they certain scanner to the car and do it that way, but im sure a chevy dealership would be able to do u right....for a nice fee of course
