Extremely common - go to any reputable install bay and they will have all the stuff you need. Prepare to drop $150 or so just in parts..
It's a GM thing.

I have no prob with doing it, just **** me off I just dished out 25,000$ on this car, now just to put in my radio it's another 200$, U can get some adapter that cost 180$ so u don't have to mount ur radio in the back of the trunk which is what I am going to do, but it just a real **** off....

You dont need to shell out the 150 bucks for the harness.. Metra part # 70-2003 is a buypass for the factory radio. You do have to run a new 12v constant wire and you will lose your wonderful door chime noise to indicate that you left your keys in the ignition, but it costs $20 instead of $150. you can get metra from pretty much any local shop around..
