Direct Replacement for 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Malibu

This OEM radio receiver carries part number 42456917 and is built as a direct replacement for the factory unit in the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze and Malibu. It matches the original plug layout and data stream so the vehicle recognises it without modification. Buyers who need a different part number or a unit for another model year will not be served by this item.

Sustained Operation After Professional Remanufacture

The unit has been professionally remanufactured, cleaned, serviced and tested to 100 % working order before shipment. Cosmetic scratches on the display are present but do not affect function during continuous daily use. Installers who expect a flawless cosmetic finish should look elsewhere.

Dealer Programming May Be Required

After installation the radio may require a dealer turn-on procedure to activate the data link with the vehicle network. Without that step the unit will not communicate with the car systems. Shops without access to dealer-level programming tools cannot complete the installation.

Questions about this item

Does the remanufactured OEM unit generate noticeable heat or noise during all-day use in the 2016 Chevrolet Cruze Malibu?

The professionally remanufactured OEM receiver runs on the vehicle’s original electrical system and produces no audible fan noise; any warmth matches the factory radio it replaces.

What existing vehicle wiring and dashboard opening must the buyer already have for this part number 42456917 to install directly?

It requires the factory GM connector and the standard double-DIN opening used by the 2016 Cruze and Malibu; no harness adapters or trim kits are needed when the original part number matches.

Will this receiver work alongside the original steering-wheel controls and any factory external amplifier still in the car?

Yes, when the vehicle already uses part number 42456917 or interchange 638-04679 the data stream matches, so steering-wheel buttons and the external amp communicate normally.
