How do you remove factory radio from HHR?
Removing the factory radio is a relatively simple process that requires nothing more than a couple of tools and a bit of patience. To start, use a panel tool to gently pry out the receiver/climate control trim panel in the center of the dash, then disconnect harnesses to remove the panel.
Where are the speakers on a Chevrolet HHR?
The HHR has speakers in the front doors, A-pillars, and rear doors. As with most vehicles these days, replacing the HHR’s factory speakers starts with removing the front door panels. What you find behind the panels depends on your truck’s factory stereo system. If your HHR is equipped with the base stereo, you’ll find a pair of 6-1/2″ speakers.
What kind of stereo system does a HHR have?
The HHR was available with two basic factory stereo systems centered around a single-disc AM/FM receiver with an auxiliary input. The base package used six speakers, while the premium Pioneer package had seven, including a factory subwoofer. Options included steering wheel controls, Bluetooth® connectivity, and speed-sensitive volume control.
Where are the warning chimes on a HHR?
The HHR’s factory warning chimes are built into the radio, and in order to retain them, you must use the factory integration adapter recommended by Crutchfield. This is a safety issue and it’s important. In fact, we cannot offer technical support for any installation undertaken without the correct adapter.
Why does my HHR radio not come on?
Twice it has acted up and not come on and both times, before I could get it to the garage the car would not start and had to be towed. First they reprogrammed the radio, within two weeks no radio, no car starting either. Next they replaced the “body module something something” within a week no radio and a dead battery again.

Lift the panel, disconnect the wiring harnesses and the door release cable, then remove the door panel. If you have the standard system, you’ll remove one 7mm screw and unhook the speaker.

How many Watts Does the HHR audio system have?
Apparently the HHR has an optional Pioneer stereo with around 260 watts, but I don’t think this was that unit. For one thing, I find it doubtful that a rental car would have the optional upgraded stereo. Also, I didn’t notice the word Pioneer anywhere on it.
