At last a short to the point example for removing trim.... Thank You!!!

[@badwolf1795]

How did you retain the factory door chime? Just bought my escalade and came with a aftermarket Kenwood touch screen. But no door chimes

[@superstar64]

Using a special harness. Evidently someone cheaped out on their install.

[@AlanTrades]

Could you post a video on the backup cam install

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Replay a year later, get what you promised. Video coming shortly!

[@christopherlesley6076]

You guys make is seem so easy. ..lol it's taking me 3 weeks (not much time due to work) got everything done now...just this aswc it works but volume only turns up..not down ...nothing else will program...at this point I'd just say forget it but I did by all these extra harness to retain swc...so gotta figure this out

[@christopherlesley6076]

Finally got it all done. My wireless back up camera is terrible.. (boss audio model) I'm gonna try hardwiring it before I trash it. Aswc1 is back at best buy I had to many problems with it. I lost steering wheel controls but I just use the remote included.

Still trying to get mines too work

[@superstar64]

Axxess seems to have discontinued their parts for this generation of GM trucks. Anyone know of an equivalent wiring harness?

[@ctamarack5229]

The Cadillac that I have, when I pull the radio out there are two hardwired liens going into it and I think that goes to the rear entertainment center. The only way I see you taking this out is cutting the wires And also replacing your rear entertainment center with a standalone entertainment center

[@seangowan7441]

Where did you run your GPS antenna for the navigation? I really would like to know, please.

[@paulovcak1988]

How about sound quality??? Did you lost some of it after replace a OEM radio?

[@davidmontez7435]

Thank you for all the help sir!

[@Miltomeal1]

Mr. Beast, I'm pretty sure I'd be a boss too if I drove a car like that. Thanks for sharing.

[@78gagta78]

Hi, I was wondering why you used a steering wheel control interface when the boss head unit has it built in?

[@ecgodsmack86]

The seek button is important

[@gdeppsfamousdishesgeorgeep2763]

Upgrade but factory 6 disc changer won't work. Correct?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Correct, it becomes obsolete.

[@ctamarack5229]

I have a 2005 Escalade that has 2 hardwired lines that I believe goes to the rear entertainment center..? If I don’t really care about rac connectivity to the front do I just clip the wires?

[@nrmon3106]

My car has a ground wire seperate loose from the colored wires of the harnes. What do i do with that loose ground wire. My new stereo and the adapter i got has black ground wires also..

[@davidmontez7435]

Can anyone help me out, 1999 Yukon Denali with Bose, I swapped in an aftermarket unit in place of the factory radio and used the metra harness all wired up easily and have power to the whole system, but my issue is The Volume is Way Too Loud at like 1!? Am I missing something some kind of module, interface, Special wiring harness? Aftermarket unit has 2 RCA outputs, everything works fine but sounds Overpowered. Not ready for amp and sub add-on just yet so don't want to bypass.. TY

Hi I have a 1999 Cadillac Escalade and was wondering how can u hook up the ac control unit is because I have the same one Ive gotten one today like that one

[@juliosandoval8244]

Thats eazy cause it came with double din and that dash kit is only from 2003-2006 not from 1999 to 2006.the 1999 to 2002 has diffrent kit plus its din n half.

[@mauricetanner7666]

Does this work with a 2004 Cadillac Escalade?

[@johnmehedin9279]

hello, did you use the factory GPS antenna for navigation or installed a new antenna. if you used the factory, where is the cable. i can't find it on my 2006 escalate. also where is the sirius XM factory antenna?

[@damienlopez4116]

So does the stock overhead DVD player work with that radio

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

It wasn't equipped with a DVD player. older GM's are much more difficult to integrate, but the PAC RP5-GM11 Wiring Interface says it retains the rear seat entertainment, but no guarantees

[@terryh.9659]

Good video. How can I install a Pumpkin 7.1 Android in a 2005 park Avenue and retain all previous functions ( chimes, Onstar, etc) ? Steering wheel buttons will work without adapter because they are resister type(Pumpkin supports that). Thanks so much for any help. I am tired of searching for over a day online. No interfaces match the Park Avenue.

[@fabianarriaga5101]

what about the small green connector on the back of the factory radio? Did you connect anything to that? i didn't see it connected anywhere in the video. Great video by the way

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Nope not needed. Since this was the Nav radio, it is for that system. However, it wasn't retained with the new radio.

[@fabianarriaga5101]

thank you! Do you have a detailed video of the actual wiring up of the modules?

[@fabianarriaga5101]

also, when you connected the brake wire to the key ground, did you have to run a wire to the chassis to ground those wires? or did you leave them just tied to each other?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Just match colors up and you should be good to go. This video is for a newer GM, but it walks you through the similar process: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKGahXWkm8Sqn68

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Just attached them to the ground of the radio.

[@lord_willing_144k3]

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@bumshari_2286]

What do i need to upgrade the stereo on a 2006 Cadillac escalade esv with two roof screens !

[@robertarmstrong1140]

Is this a Bose amplified system ? If so is it ok to place the 8 wires for front to back speakers wired in? Or do I need to get a low converter for the Bose amp?

[@ultratalented2416]

After replacing the factory radio n or radio navigation with a Bluetooth Screen , is there anyway you could still used the 6 disc changer below? or does it just become obsolete like you mentioned in the video when it came to replacing yours?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Becomes obsolete unfortunately. But you can replace it with a lower dash pocket.

[@jhurley12]

im trying to install the exact same kit in my 2006 gmc sierra 2500 with bose. im using a pioneer avh-2330. there is no input on the back for the steering wheel controls. if its not an autodetect unit, any idea where to connect the brown wire from the female end of the 3.5mm jack? i dont get any sound from the speakers, only a faint hint of music out of the driver door speaker when the door is open and a loud chime with a "thud" at the same time. thanks

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Sounds like a few issues. The Pioneer has a W/R input on the back of the radio, that is the steering wheel control input where the 3.5mm cable connects. Don't use the Female 3.5mm adapter, they do not work for pioneer. In terms of sound, it sounds like your bose amp isn't booting on, make sure you connect the blue or blue white wire in the wiring harness adapter to your radio's blue / white wire. This triggers the amp to turn on properly.

[@jhurley12]

Provo Beast Audio Installation thanks for the reply. ill give it a look tonight and report back.

[@jhurley12]

Provo Beast Audio Installation Ok i got everything hooked up properly, and you were correct with the awsc jack into the back of the unit, and the blue​/white (remote) wire for factory amp. Everything now works as it should, thanks for your quick reply! its very much appreciated! You guys get a thumbs up from me! 👍👍👍

[@Mikebasshead]

What color wire for backup camera? And or did you find upfront like in some gms so you dont have to tie in to tail lights?

[@hexcalvario79]

I just installed a stereo in my 2004 Escalade, and the information cluster has no power to it. Everything else works. Does anyone know why?

[@johnathanbishop3038]

Could it fit in a 2002 cadillac escalade?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

You will need a dash conversion to make that fit correctly. See our dash conversion video.

[@alankingdesign]

Thanks for the video! I'm installing a DUAL Double Din in a 2004 Escallade ESV. I've got no sound coming from the far back speakers and low sound from rear door speakers. Any idea the issue with that? Changing FADE in Settings does nothing to help. I also get a alternator wining noise and my radio stations don't come as clear as before.

[@joefrazier1345]

What about the CD changer. Does it work with this install?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Nope, and in most circumstances, you will always lose the functionality of a separate factory CD change when replacing the radio.

[@jaymoreno6549]

Has anybody installed a flip out in the cd changer spot?

[@jayyt2969]

U sure the stereo installation is the same for 99-06?

[@christopherlesley6076]

I just figured out I purchased the wrong harness. Just ordered the his 04, but I have the audio boss wireless back up camera...any videos on the install for that???? Thanks Preacherman

[@christopherlesley6076]

NO, you just wont have the 15' wire portion.

Hey please tell me were the purple and white reverse wire is to beconnected---

She smart harness from axxess has a reverse camera trigger wire built into it so thats where we hooked it into.

[@christopherlesley6076]

Which wire in the smart harness is the trigger wire ?? I have the Gmos4

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Green Purple wire for the Metra GMOS-04

[@drewgentile377]

I have an 06 gmc Denali and the amp is toast. Does this stereo have a built in amp that will support the Bose speakers ?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, but you would have to also bypass the factory Bose amp. The Boss stereo is lower quality, so if you are looking for great SQ, i'd look into a better brand or add an an aftermarket amplifier.

[@nickverducci8641]

@@ProvoBeastAudio Are you saying that with this exact installation the stock bose amplifier will not work anymore?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

@@nickverducci8641 No, using the parts in the video, Bose will function as intended.

[@BuddyQuaid]

How long did this take you total?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

I can do a radio install in less than 2 hours (soldering and heat shrink), we don't use butt connectors anymore. you could speed up the install using crimp caps / butt connectors.

[@Bacongaming406]

did you connect the blue wire to a AMP wire (blue n white wire)? or just blue to blue???

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

The solid blue wire is your power antenna, so it can either be connected to the blue/white wire or solid blue.

[@nickverducci8641]

@@ProvoBeastAudio The blue/white from the 16-pin harness that comes with the GMOS-04 says it is supposed to be connected to the "AMP turn on wire." On the Boss harness I do not see any wires labels for an AMP. @Provo Beast you said in response to @ E C that it can be connected to either blue or blue/white which are labeled Antenna output and Remote Output. So does the labels not really matter, but the fact that it will get +12 volts?

[@Hand3521]

Is there any way to install a touch screen like this and retain factory Rear Seat Entertainment systems?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Depends, what year is your escalade?

[@Hand3521]

Provo Beast Audio Installation 2003

[@Hand3521]

So no then lol

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Not necessarily, older GM's are much more difficult to integrate, but the PAC RP5-GM11 Wiring Interface says it retains the rear seat entertainment, but no guarantees

[@tienphatauto]

I don't know the steering wheel

[@LB7reese]

Which wires do you crimp together I'm trying to do this right now

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Just match colors, pretty straight forward.

[@randyt700]

we have a 2003 escalade ext and installed the same boss touch screen stereo but now audio sounds distorted and isn't loud at all. is it possibly because we've somehow bypassed the factory amp if there is one? or did the factory stereo have enough built in amps to power the factory bose speakers? if there isn't a factory bose amp, do you recommend a particular amp to match the factory sound quality/levels? thanks!

[@baytownhatco.5174]

Randy Tang little screw on the black box of harness just turn it till it’s louder

[@looneybinjim1418]

You connected both the orange/white wires together correct?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Both the orange / white wires, yes, this is your illumination wire.

[@outkastgarage868]

Would this be the same as a 2003 Chevy avalanche

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, generally however if you don't have the bose, your install wiring may differ slightly.

[@lilrob9358]

What's the volts on the pre outs? 2v or 4v

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

2 volts

[@coltstill3811]

What stereo install kit do you use?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

All parts we used are listed in the description.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Also shows it in the video @ 3:02

[@Machiningiscool]

what do you do to make it where you can watch movies while driving

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Depends on the make and model of the radio. For this boss radio, just grounding the parking brake wire does the trick, but for pioneers, they require a double pulse ground relay. For Alpines, they are a bit more tricky because they also require the foot pedal, parking brake to be wired correctly for a successful bypass.

[@Machiningiscool]

Provo Beast Audio Installation Cool. thank you

[@jeramiahfuchs]

Is that the 6.5 or 7 inch double din

[@ProvoBeastAudio]
