2017 Chevrolet Malibu Factory Radio

This professionally remanufactured AM FM radio with touch screen display is built as a direct replacement for the 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. It matches part number 42532827 and requires dealer programming to activate. Buyers who need a unit for a different model year or vehicle platform cannot use this radio.

Interchange Part Numbers and Compatibility

The unit cross-references interchange part number 638-10979 and compatible part numbers 42475169, 42481577, 42518017, 42532849 and 94551034. These references confirm fitment only when the original radio carries one of these exact numbers. Installers who assume compatibility based on appearance or connector shape alone risk a unit that will not code to the vehicle.

Replacement-Only Constraint

This radio is sold as a replacement only for vehicles already equipped with a matching part number. It delivers 100 percent functional operation after dealer turn-on but offers no upgrade path for additional features or expanded connectivity. Owners seeking navigation, smartphone integration or enhanced audio processing will not find those capabilities in this unit.
