Aftermarket radio no sound problem fix

[@kevinh4431]

I wanted to sayThank You!! I was pulling what’s left of my hair out of my head, And I found your video which was the most straight forward to the point one there was, and now my 2000 Tahoe has an aftermarket stereo! Again thank you!

[@SammyVista1972]

We needed to replace a misbehaving stock radio in our 2001 Suburban. After seeing the many wires on the old unit, I did lots of research before the swap to a new aftermarket radio was done. By far your video was the most helpful because it addressed clearly what could have been a major problem. Our new radio works perfectly, every speaker in each door plus the tweeters and bass speaker in the rear compartment sound just fine! Many thanks to you!

I gotta give credit where it's due, I've been fighting with my 2004 tahoe since last night. Your video got my sound working great. Thank you !!! 👍👍

[@mijohnst]

Dude... I hit the same issue in my 2001 Tahoe. Thank goodness I found your video because now it's working. I would have never guessed blue to pink! Thanks for putting this up!

[@dustinrhodes6568]

Thank god I found your video because I was tired of having no radio! Works perfect now! Need more of your videos!

[@sosounconventionalways2179]

Thanks for the video bro. Just finished my install on the Avalanche. I knew i was going to need another harness once i saw the extra connector. Hooked everything up nice n no sound. You saved me some $$$ and time. THANKS AGAIN.

[@ghostinchains664]

I bought a generic android unit from Amazon. Unfortunately, even though it supposed to be plug n play, there were absolutely NO instillation instructions. Plug n play was true but I had no rear speaker sound. One optional plug canceled rear speakers, other option grounded out all speakers. Thank god for videos like yours, browsing KZbin I caught a quip about unnecessary ground wire. Clipped two wires on option two and everything worked perfectly.

[@wildwest939]

thank you, as you stated that lil pink wire was to blue was my problem hopefully, it's cold tonight will try to connect in the morning and hopefully get back to you and tell you it worked.

[@BoxRiotYT]

I knew the amp was going to be a problem, but thank you for pointing out which wire it was!

[@johngarza2115]

Your video helped a lot bro I just stripped the blue radio wire n plugged it with the pink n it work no slicing or cutting.

[@gam3dr.]

This little trick works perfectly👌 splicing the blue antenna wire from the aftermarket harness into the pink wire from the smaller On-Star harness worked like a charm. Thanks again dude!🤟🇨🇦

Mines weird, i only lose amp on AV in ( use for Onn tv streaming stick and screencast mirroring to radio. ) AM, fm, Sirius, aux, dvd etc all work fine??? Mygig RHR in 2010 Ram with lockpick and av adapter. I already tried to replace av adapter but had same results?? If blue wire is for amp, i splice in and ground it ? It worked fot weeks then suddenly stopped ???

[@efrainvillanueva6562]

Thank you bro. You saved me some time.

[@tdrop31]

thats not a stock amp thats a radio modulator you hook a ipod up to to get sound through your radio......the amp is located under the center console

[@KCUF-ALL-FAKEPEOPLE-FRODO]

I don't have the solid blue wire I've only just got the remote wire the blue and white and that's it but I've got the exact same setup as you I've got a suburban which is the same underneath the dashboard as what shoes is but what word I hook it up to if I don't have this to solid blue wire

[@Somewhere_In_The_Barn]

Your video saved my butt! Thanks man!

[@darkprince2584]

Hey that didn't work om mine. But i did bypass the the factory amp completely by disconnecting the amp and buying two Metra 70-2002 plug s depining them and jumping the speaker in to the speaker out. Look up tahoesteve amp bypass it will give you what you need. Beside what you doing is useing the amp . If you want better sound and aftermarket speakers the factory amp will make them sound bad. Do the bypass and all will work and sound great

[@shaymartin3613]

Will this work on single din also? I'm having this same issue on a 02 Escalade no sound. I just have the blue and white wire no solid blue. It's a sony cd player, but I do see where it looks like someone already sliced into the pink wire. Do u think I should try connecting my blue and white wire to the pink?

[@ListoPalDesmadreRacing]

Yes should work the main goal is to find the wire off the car harness with sound but yes simgle din should be the same

Same harness running to the amplifier?

[@CrushingBass]

Hey i have the same issue but not that issue. Earlier today i was listening to music just fine and have been for months. And usually I have to turn the deck off then back on for the back shelf speakers to work so that's what I did today and as I turned it back on none of my speakers were working and got no sound. But the radio was on and everything. It does have a factory amplifier in the trunk of the car that came with it as well. Wondering if that went bad? Hope you can help!!

[@ListoPalDesmadreRacing]

Have u checked your speakers maybe they went out if not it might be factory amp gave out may want to test those teo things out first

[@CrushingBass]

@@ListoPalDesmadreRacing hmm it would seem kinda odd for all speakers just to go out like that randomly at once. I'll still check that tho as well. If not that then more than likely factor amp?

[@ListoPalDesmadreRacing]

Well u could have burned them just double check to make sure if amp is also good then u might have a loose wire or your wires heated up and melted just double check those things

[@darkprince2584]

Factory amp went out look up tahoesteve amp bypass .

I think you gotta get power to factory amp. So like some eles commented you get one of those blue wires to somthin with power like the red wire. And your good to go. Dont connect it to yellow because thats a constant 12v. Red turns on with car

[@martinez1701a]

I think you gotta disconnect a solid green wire on that aftermarket connector.

[@designerlimo6409]

So how you connect the subwoofer

[@ListoPalDesmadreRacing]

Bett i got you

[@martinez1701a]

What I did was install a line converter to the rear stock subwoofer so I can have rca connectors then installed a small sundown audio SFB600D and mounted it to the side of the stock subwoofer box. Connected power and remote and now I can run a external subwoofer box, I still have the stock sub hooked up to the trucks sound system so if I pull that box I still have some bass. The good thing is that its all under the panel so you don't see anything I even installed a speaker cup connector to the panel so I don't have to take off the panel to disconnect the speaker wire.
