zlj1989: Any way you could illustrate the correct wires? I'm new to the whole DIY stereo installation part (especially with the wires). I get all the other stuff I need and know how to do it but I'm just confused as to which specific wires I need to hookup.


First off, what year is your Alero and what harness are you getting? (chime or non chime) If you buy the one you need for your car, you just need to connect the wires from the aftermarket harness, to the wires from the aftermarket stereo. The instructions will tell you which ones.
One thing that is very important though, which a lot of people forget, is to connect the antenna wire. There is going to be a wire on the aftermarket harness that says power antenna. You need to make sure you connect that wire, to the remote wire that comes from the aftermarket HU. If you don't do this, your radio will not get any stations.
For now, just get the harness and the head unit. If after seeing them both, you still have questions, go ahead and ask. After seeing the instructions though, everything should be pretty straightforward.
