2010 Silverado 1500 Stereo Install - Kenwood

[@robqcmccullum8797]

Very nice informative video thanks!!

[@jackievivatson7079]

That’s a great upgrade!

[@terrellavery9]

Thanks for this vid. I've been looking for a touchscreen for my 2011 silverado

[@vivogarage]

Thanks for the comment. I have filmed a follow-up video on what I like and do not like I am hoping to get out soon!

[@matthewbell9134]

Is your truck equipped with Bose? I clicked the link to the GM31 but on Amazon it doesn’t mention anything about with or without Bose. Thanks for the video, definitely helping me decide on the radio upgrade for our suburban.

[@vivogarage]

Yes, my truck does have the Bose option. I went to crutchfield.com and got a list of items needed for install. They have an easy to use tool that helps find all of the parts. I found the parts cheaper on Amazon at the time.

thank you for this video!!

You're welcome! Thank you for the comment also

How did you set up steering wheel controls? i have the exact same stuff you have but i don’t know where the steering wheels output wires go.

[@vivogarage]

The steering wheel controls are done through this www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009P8A044/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 it gets installed in between the stereo and the factory wire harness.

Where did you get the Carbon Fiber trim kit ? It looks extremely nice.

[@vivogarage]

Thanks! The trim kit came with the truck and believe it's something included with the GFX trim package. I have also seen others take all the trim off and wrap it in a high-quality vinyl wrap. I am thinking about doing that myself to deepen the carbon fiber look. If I do, I will be sure to film it! Thanks for the comment!

[@cheeser6886]

Did u use the stock radio side brackets to install it to screw the 4 bolt ?

[@danmorales7067]

How did u fit the user interface and all the wires behind the radio. I can’t imagine fitting everything in. I have same radio and a 2011 suburban.

[@vivogarage]

I didn’t find it difficult to fit it all back there. I put the interface as far back as it would go that took up the least amount of room. It was the length of the cables for the USB that it made it some what challenging. What are your thoughts on the radio?

[@jamesparker5462]

I am going to install a Kenwood from Crutchfield in my 2011 Silverado 2500. They do not think the factory camera (in the mirror) will produce a clear pic and recommend a camera on the license plate, which means running a cable from the rear to the radio. Did you have the same setup?

[@vivogarage]

I kept the factory backup camera in the mirror and do not have this on my Kenwood. I did not want to use a different camera for the backup since I have a factory one in place. I wish the factory camera was on a larger screen and was more clear though. I was going to look into something that allowed me to use the factory camera and connect to the Kenwood. I think that would be best.

[@dzz8384]

Nice vedio. It help me to get the right interface. By the way, can I know the website for your shirt? It look awesome

[@vivogarage]

Thanks! glad it was able to help you. My shirt was bought at Costco and is made by Orvis, you can check them out at www.orvis.com/

[@dzz8384]

@@vivogarage thank you so much for your care and fast reply

[@paulmcwilliams1709]

The truck still looks good. I would hang on to it. Why have a monthly payment if you don't have to?

[@paulmcwilliams1709]

I would have to have a CD player because I've got a 1000+ CD's in my collection.

[@vivogarage]

Thanks! I love this truck and don’t see getting rid of it anytime soon. I have a few things I am working on it too. Eventually I will replace the engine and trans in a few years too. I don’t want to pay new truck prices.

[@alonsoamezcua2386]

Does your steering wheel control allow you to pick up and hang up calls? Mine only allows me to give voice control demands and volume and source just not picking up and hanging up

[@vivogarage]

That is how mine operates as well. I never noticed that until I tested it from your question.

[@alonsoamezcua2386]

@@vivogarage I noticed it a few months after I installed it just now decided to investigate. Could be that they are just like that. Not a big deal but wanted to double check it wasn't just me.

[@donaldandmijung]

is there an option to use the factory mic? I have a 2013 silverado 1500 ltz.

[@vivogarage]

I believe it will work with the factory mic but I chose to not use it as the sound quality in my factory mid is not good. People would complain about to much road noise. I don’t hear that with the mic I installed.

[@boby64]

what is the USB port brand or type? I bought this stereo and just realised that I don't have the right USB port to actually use the Apple Carplay

[@vivogarage]

Here is the USB port I used for this install. I have no issues with it detecting my phone. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07C73KRJN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@fictionfaith]

I have 2012 chevy silverado and can't get the steering wheel controls to work. How do I program it correctly? I have it on #7 radio setting and have pressed the program button twice to put the rp5-gm31 into aftermarket mode. I press the controls in steering wheel and the controller will blink when pressed but none of the controls will do anything to the stereo. It is just an stereo off of amazon.

[@Riddick_4506]

My directions say to hit volume up at heart rate speed until led turns green. So try resetting module and turn key to on position with reset module and press volume up with heart rate speed until led turns green.

[@ssssebastian09]

Take it to a mod shop?

[@supersteve9448]

Thanks for the links I've been looking everywhere and haven't been able to find exact fits but I have a question did you need an antenna adapter was it in a kit?

[@vivogarage]

Thanks for the comment! Yes, I did need the antenna adapter and it came in the kit with the radio replacement PAC RP5-GM31. I am finding that I do not get good radio reception so I am thinking that I do not have a good connection. I will be working on a follow up video soon and it will also include a review and things I missed in the installation.

[@supersteve9448]

@@vivogarage I ordered everything this morning btw the link to the radio is almost 700$ same one at best buy I just ordered for 299$ but the rest of the links saved some money through amazon thanks for quick response

[@vivogarage]

OUCH on that price! I paid 299 for mine back in January. good luck in the install!

[@supersteve9448]

Hey bud just letting you know the radio came in yesterday and I got everything put in and ready to go seems great so far thanks again for the help and you mentioned bad radio reception did you get the blue white wires hooked up some antennas have an amplifier that needs to be connected also it took me forever to figure out that the steering control doesn't require the 3.5mm jack

[@vivogarage]

Glad to hear that you got it installed and it's working. I have not had a chance to look at mine yet. I will be filming it with an update video i will be working on.

[@cameronbrock452]

did you have to splice in your factory sub?

[@vivogarage]

No, I didn't need to splice into anything. The PAC RP5-GM31 unit retains all factory wiring and uses all factory speakers including the factory subwoofer if its equipped. Definitely worth the extra money!

[@ssssebastian09]

What were you like age 30 when this truck came out?

[@vivogarage]

Not sure if you are referencing that my truck is old, or if I am old. Either way, I guess we both are. to answer your question, Yes, I was in my 30's when my truck was made.

[@autiger621]

You time-lapsed/edited out/didn’t film all the parts that would have helped other DYIers figure out how to do this install. :(. Maybe that wasn’t the goal.

[@vivogarage]

Thanks for the comment and feedback. My videos are more a vlog style with some information to be explained. I am hoping to help people research the products or give ideas on what can or has been done. With that said, I have stopped doing the time lapse and trying to give more details with explanation of how to do something with my newer videos.

[@autiger621]

@@vivogarage Fair enough and I appreciate the response!

[@RALPH531967]

Did your dash trim come that way or did you get it done? Looks great that way truck 🛻 also looks awesome.

[@vivogarage]

The dash trim came with the truck and I believe it was apart of the GFX trim package. I love it as it's different from all of the rest. I didn't want to crack it since it would have been hard to replace it. Thanks for the comment!
