You must uninstall some of the dash trim before you can remove the radio from your Chevrolet Cobalt. The radio in a Cobalt is just above the air-conditioning unit, and is held in by four screws. Once those screws are removed, you can easily pull the radio out, disconnect its electrical connector and remove it.
