Chevy Truck with Bose's sounded like a good idea, oh well, maybe not Installer Diaries 75

On today's show we have a Chevy avalanche in for a radio upgrade. At first we thought it was going to be a simple radio swap, then found out he had Bose. There was no sound coming from the speakers, he didn't realize he had a bad Bose amplifier. We are going to show you how to figure out if it's the speakers, the amp, or the radio that is bad. We are also going to show you how to bypass factory Bose amp. We hope you enjoy, thank you for watching.

After watching this video slowly & pausing it Here’s all the wire colors & pin configurations needed This is for trucks with the Bose premium sound system (Amp in center Console) 9 speakers (sub in center) (Low audio signal= tweeters) Currently I’m not using the factory sub but will be trying to do a bypass to get it working outside of using the factory amp to power it A5 Brown (LR Output +)= Green+ A6 Yellow (LR Output -)= Green- A7 Dk Blue (RR Output +)= Purple+ A8 Lt Blue (RR Output -)= Purple- A9 Tan (LF Output +)= White+ A10 Grey (LF Output -)= white- A11 Lt Green (RF Output +)= Grey+ A12 Dk Green (RF Output -)= Grey- B3 Black (RR Low Audio Sig.-)= Purple- B4 Dk Blue (RR Low Audio Sig.+)= Purple+ B5 Dk Green w/white (LR Low Audio Sig.-)= Green- B6 Brown (LR Low Audio Sig.+)= Green+ B7 Light green (RF Low Audio Sig.+)= grey+ B8 Orange/black line (RF Low Audio Sig.-)= grey- B9 Tan (LF Low Audio Sig.+)= white+ B10 Dk green (LF Low Audio Sig.-)= white-

Much appreciated

[@chinoaguas1631]

Thank you !

[@DJEFlizZ215]

For your factory subwoofer to work you need to disconnect the other connector on the amp With the push-in clip on top the pin count goes from H-E (top row) A-D (bottom row) Depending on your vin code (UQ7 or Y91) the colors will be in different locations I used T-taps to connect the subwoofer with rear speaker channels without It connected you will only get mids & hi’s (No Bass) A) BLK/WHT = Ground B) DK BLU/WHT = Left subwoofer (+) C) DRK GRN = Right Subwoofer (+) D) (NOT USED) E) BARE = DRAIN WIRE F) LT BLU/BLK = Right subwoofer (-) G) LT GRN/BLK = Left subwoofer (-) H) ORN = Battery positive voltage

Another way to bypass the amp is to run speaker wire to the doors from the stereo without touching the amp

[@crazy8sdrums]

I don't quite understand why you spent so much time rewiring that harness connector. You put in an aftermarket deck and aftermarket speakers so why didn't you just run new speaker wire too? It would have taken about the same amount of time. I am not suggesting you don't know what you are doing or that you are skimping...because you don't...you guys do a marvelous job at this stuff.

[@214KUZTOMZ]

If you go behind the ac vent on the passanger side next to the radio there is a plug that if you unplug it it has all the speaker wires there. And you dont have to modified any harness.

[@nicholasbezy4959]

Yep, doesn't even need re-pinning. Perfect if you're changing out the speakers, anyway, and you keep whatever the module you're using can retain.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes we talked about that in the video, it does not retain the tweeters.

[@boogazincorporated]

Most of these trucks have a bypass harness behind the dash already in between the radio and the storage pocket to the right. The harness will usually have speakers power ground and data.

[@tyler-lastnameredacted-6391]

Do they sell a cheaper version of the bypass becaus the ones i saw were like 100 to 200 dollars. and will a aftermarket sub and sub amp work?

[@Grayback1973]

Why don't they make the adapter T-harnesses for all stock amplifiers so people who want to bypass it can without cutting into factory wiring? BTW Dean,I manufactured a bunch of T-harnesses for 2010-2015 Terrain/Equinoxes for stock amp bypass.I couldn't find them anywhere so I made my own!

gotta admit, i've never retained the door and headlight dinger with my past 2 work trucks, lol. i buy the cheap kit just for the radio. i have to remember to turn the headlights off every time. can't tell you how many times i leave a job and the headlights have been on for hours, lol. never overnight though thankfully.

[@jerrym995]

wish i had a quality installer near me. brought my suburban in for a new head unit and it came with a back up camera and they ran the cable of it through my rear spring and tie wrapped there, camera quit working and the power cable shorted out to my spring melting all the wire. i'm lucky truck didn't burn up. i'm now getting ready for a new unit after 5 years, doing same thing as in this video, but mine started with squeal from front right tweeter (disconnected that) , then passenger door speaker now it sound go off and on when it feels like it. and yes it's a Bose

Great video I gave it a thumbs-up answer me one question.. does the Bose 6 inch sub in the center console still work off of the radio..? Thanks👍

[@stevenayala2324]

No you will have to wire that up if you do this bypass its easy cause the wires for the sub is on the next plug at the amp

[@delta3garcia]

Great video first off...I have two questions if you have time to answer: 1. How would you add steering wheel controls? 2. Does the Bose amp power the rear seat audio controls? Would I lose the RSE control by doing the bypass?

[@stevenayala2324]

I know its to late but if you do the bypass no you still have rse & you can by the steering wheel controls module by its self you just need a radio that is able to have steering wheel controls

[@vidacrazy]

So you have the harness from the radio and harness that goes into the amp, off the top of my head I would think that to bypass the amp, all you would have to do would be to tie both plugs in straight to each other BYPASSING the Bose amp, I don't understand how this harness that feeds back into itself makes this work. Can someone pls explain?

[@bass-n-truth-inthestix9083]

Couldn't you just take the harness and just use the wires that are already in it? Removing any unnecessary wires. Then solder needed bypass wires together? Without using 2 harnesses and taking them both apart ect? All you lose is the bose amp correct? So no more onstar or bose amp but if you're not replacing your door speakers.. they will still work right? Just no amp only head unit power? I hope my multiple questions make sense to whoever reads this. I've been dying to install my system in my 05 hd2500 crew cab but don't want to deal with the bose/onstar steering wheel controls interface crap. Is this my solution?

[@whatfreedom7]

Anyone have info on a 03 Silverado? It’s a Bose system with 0 sound. I even hooked up a spare speaker to the low level inputs and the speaker had audio. The amp has 12volts and ground and low level input. So we assumed the amp was bad so we replaced it. No go still has no audio. Their is a pink wire in the diagram that says it’s a turn on wire but it has batt power all the time. That doesn’t seem right but if you unplug the radio it goes away so it shouldn’t be shorted to power from another source.

[@crod1449]

Just so im getting this right. You bypassed the bose amp, so the amp itself and the speakers are not using it at all, correct? The speakers are being powered by the head unit alone now, instead of running into the amp and then head unit. Is this right ? I have an 07 silverado with the "premium" bose and will be replacing the head unit. Im used to simoly tapping into stock speaker wiring onto the new harness when replacing head units. Seems a lot more complicated.

I have been out of car stereo for a while, like since the 90's. I don't understand the purpose of the loop back by pass in this video. I want to understand because I am doing a complete stereo replace in an E46 and I am wondering if I need to "BYPASS" something.

[@kirkabrahamson1148]

The loop back is just joining the Bose amplifier input and output together to get a continuous signal from the rear of the head unit to all the factory speakers. Btw great video once again guys. Love ya work

[@stevegmesser]

Kirk Abrahamson oh, so the wires from the head unit go into and out of the same connector on the bose amp. That's what I was missing. The loop allows the signals to "bypass" on through. Thanks for your response.

[@kirkabrahamson1148]

Steve Messer that is correct mate. If there is way to complicate things a car manufacturer will find It. Lol

[@stevegmesser]

Yeah, installs used to be more simple imo.

Hi, can you guide me which is the best after market radio navigation system for Jeep Patriot Sport 2016

[@SubePelayo928]

I have a 2004 Silverado 2500hd. An aftermarket Kenwood and the PAC interface installed to keep the onstar and steering wheel control. One day the stereo shutoff and didn’t turn back on. I think the interface module went back so I called a local shop and they told me to bypass the module with a single power wire. I did that and the radio turned back on. Now I hear a relay click on and off and when it does the speakers shut off but the stereo is still on. The speaker wires run through the pac module, down to the amp and back out to the speakers. So I did the amp bypass plug you made and the speakers still play sound but at a very low volume. I have to max out the stereo to hear anything coming out of them. I don’t care for on star. Only the steering wheel control and speakers. I have an aftermarket amp and sub I want to install. Should I replace the PAC module or how do I completely bypass the Bose stuff and run a stereo and speakers only
