The 2014 Impala 9C1 is on the same body/chassis as the 2006+ year models, so everything as far as consoles and wiring is still applicable and will still fit.

Here's a link to the upfitter's manual if you don't already have it: http://www.gmfleet.com/content/dam/gmfl ... _FINAL.pdf

Impala really has not changed in the last 14 years other than some sheet metal very easy cars to work on. If its a 9C1 everything is in the loop on the passenger side floor and a 100a battery feed and ground post in the trunk if you use a high power radio. Just add an antenna to the trunk and thats it.

I would not put it that way and i have been doing them since 2000 including some LS models as well. Every several years or so
there have been some suttle differences that can make them a pain for example the addition of a crush box. Also you can put
an antenna in the roof in place of a deleted onstar antenna in the area of that deleted onstar antenna and my guide along with
the pics can help with that as a starting point to give others an idea of what they are faced with.

He is talking about the 9C1 Other then a few minor changes that are easily overcome they really havent. I have done numerous LS and 9C3 package cars for the Feds. Follow the upfitters guide and you should be fine.
