KZbin should hire this dude to edit everyone else’s how to video. He is quick to the point and dosent repeat the same thing over and over and he still gives you all the info. Thank you

[@brockmanning6160]

Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I've never commented on a video, but this is probably the most helpful video I've run across on KZbin. I have a 2006 Silverado 1500 paired with a Kenwood double din radio and backup cam. The instructions that came with the kenwood were not very helpful. I watched this video 5+ times to figure out what I needed to do and saved money from having professional install. Everything has been installed for 3 months and no issues. Thanks again for all your help! I know this video has not only helped me, but tons of others as well. Thanks again!

[@TylerTheBassCreator]

The kenwood instructions have nothing to do with the stock wiring in this...

[@highstrung_lifestyle]

IV been installing all my own radios for the last 18 years this is by far the best break down vid ever much respect brother keep up the good work 💯

[@unclesai8937]

I have a bit of a problem I am working on installing a pioneer mhv s215bt into a 2004 silverado and i cant figure out which wires from the Chevy to connect to the pioneer do you have any knowledge about this?

[@johnwood3347]

I do agree I have been doing the same since I was 14 for family and friends (installing) audio stuff but I have been through a lot of medical (cancer & 2 motorcycle accidents) issues and my brain is deteriorating I’m installing a Pioneer AVH-W4500NEX my daughter has one I feeling in love with it and installing front and rear cameras and I’m going to install an Audio Control AudioControl LC-5.1300 with my Audio Control AudioControl DQDX Black 6 Channel Digital Signal Processor I am waiting on my door speakers to show up all of this is stressing me out and I have had to what happened several of your videos to reassure myself! Thank you guys y’all are awesome

Awesome video...No bull crap Bla bla bla...straight to the point and yet detailed at the same time! Thanks, Helped me figure it out. I wish everyone made videos like this.

[@adampatterson3188]

Ahahahah the creepy little yes from the girl that obviously owns the truck at 16:22 ahahahah that's soo cool. I remember as a kid watching my dad teach me how to install subs in my old 1995 Z71 and me saying yes in the same way...ahahahha 😁

[@happytrails1963]

Great video! Thinking about doing this in my 04 z71, this could come in handy. Just not sure about what way to go with stereo on a truck thats not my daily driver anymore. Like you might guess the factory speakers have seen better days.

[@kd7kmp]

Ha! This is the video I've been waiting to see. I have a 2005 Chevy Suburban. Now I can comfortably make sense of what harnesses I need. The PAC Audio website lists dozens of harnesses and adapters for this vehicle. This makes it very difficult to determine which harness/adapter to use. Now I'll be able to listen to great audio when I'm out looking at rocks! Great video. Keep up the good work!

Excellent video. I really appreciate that you took the time to put this together. Thanks!

[@orabates1823]

Present Radio Pioneer AVIC W8500NEX I know this video is from 2 years ago. But if your not going to retain Onstar couldn't you just splice into the factory Onstar microphone and use that one. That's what I did and it's been working great I have had no problems with calls or anything. As far is it 2 USBs I repurposed the 12v outlet thats on the passenger side with a 2 port dual USB 3.0 male to USB 3.0 female Aux flush mount. And the HDMI with a male to female car flush mount extension cable.

that steering wheel cover hurts to look at lol

I'm hoping that and the sock on the shifter is something they put on to keep it clean.

[@Holler_Rat]

When I think I'm ready to buy a new stereo for my truck, I watch this video and it completely eliminates my desire. I suppose I can wear headphones.

[@SenorReflex]

james allen get the adaptor from crutchfield, they do all the wiring for you

[@WillPainter_OregonNative]

@ 15:09 you talk about how you installed the "RCA & Aux jack" into the cubby. Did you mean USB & AUX jacks?

[@CarlinDontCare]

1:07 what do you mean by C2R and RP4? At this very moment I’m doing a RP Advance and this harness even though is for a 2006 Silverado doesn’t look nothing like yours so I’m here wondering if I do need that black little harness you stuck back into the dashboard.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

If you need steering wheel controls RP4

[@beardedgaming1337]

back in the day those ground loop isolators used to nuke the lower frequencies. i stopped using them a LONG time ago due to this. have they improved in design so as to not sacrifice frequency response now?

[@SkankHunt42x]

Dude what’s that song at 2:00 I NEED that

[@johnwood3347]

Did you hook up all three of the green wires together for the bypass you the green on the bypass the green on the radio and the green on the pac harness just curious

[@thomask2804]

Thx for this video and the other one about PAC RP5-GM31! Your giving me hope i can succesfully remove the standard radio ( Cadillac escalade esv 2007 ) and keep the origonal buttons and so on! Just need to figure out a good headunit! Good luck with the channel!

Last time I didn’t use wire nuts I messed up my wiring and it made it harder to fix lol

[@UpwardDragon]

Thank you for the in depth info on these

[@dante04srt]

I have a 2005 Yukon XL. I just ordered everything you showed here to duplicate the install. Two questions... #1: Does the OnStar still work as normal? #2: My truck has factory DVD and I use the RSE input to play the audio through the truck speakers. Will this kit account for that or is there an additional aux wire set that I have to connect?

[@GMK6300L]

Just did my05 Monte Carlo. What a joke, and that PAC RP5 interface made all my speakers less than half volume and all distorted and crackling. I bypassed one speaker from the interface and that one sounded great, so I sent the interface back and got a basic harness and a steering wheel control harness and made it work. No chimes, factory amp, but it sounds great. Idk why everyone says you need an interface to bypass the amp. I just left it hooked up and every speaker works fine. Amp not working but leaving it plugged in makes the speaker connection. New stereo pushes more watts so the amp isn’t a big deal

[@XJlover90]

Gotta love the Crank ring tone.

[@TheSuperShaan]

Great Job as usual! Here's a question. I have the Bose setup already, and honestly it sounds pretty decent to me the way it is. But I would like to improve the whole system using the least invasive process as possible. What are you're thoughts? I would like to just throw in a regular single din head unit. So I imagine I have to follow the same process with the RP4 right? After that is done, can I replace all the factory Bose speakers to similar after markets and get some improvement? Or do you think that could mess something up? Not sure if the Bose speaker setup works with various impedances/loads, etc. on the factory amp? Let me know what you think. thx.

[@tomrogers4667]

Didnt realize it was this easy!😂

[@trourke98nz69]

Awesome job here. Thank you so much. This is going to be so helpful

[@ccooper04]

I believe I have the rp5-gm11 and was wondering if I could bypass the plugs for speakers being im installing new speakers along with an amp? The truck has the bose stereo setup and onstar.

[@iz-is2502]

You foos rock!!! Thnx

Where are you guys from I need to install this to my truck

[@jakebearden9081]

Can I still install the radio with out the bose harness portion?

[@malditoklee]

Guys great video! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge! I'm working on a 2005 Chevy avalanche with an rp5-gm11. I was meticulous when I was connecting the wiring but when I plug in the harness the car will not start? I don't know if I have a defective rp5-gm11, or if there's a problem with the Ken bus, or if the antitheft is engaging? I just wanted to ask you if you ever ran across this problem or if you can offer me any suggestions? Thank you again and keep up the great work guys!

[@brianmedeiros417]

Great video

[@colbyharris7681]

Great video men!! I have the same truck that you guys just installed the pioneer in. Mine has the bose system with the stock DVD player on the top. Can the be intergraded into the new system??

[@glennbinns80]

How much was labor to do this job?

[@Tabest31]

Does this retain the chimes also?

[@jamesroberts4233]

What is the small black harness you tucked aeay and didn't use?

[@scottkellogg8145]

All depends on the stereo you buy I never had a problem replacing a double din with a double din in my 06 Silverado 1500

[@michaeldoerksen7551]

Does the rp4-gm11 retain factory chimes/sounds also?

[@srtresponse531]

Welp, just when I thought I could do it by myself😣😂

[@Bigiron429]

Do they have one for just steering wheel controls

[@warrenak8410]

I'm using this exact setup, 06 GMC sierra w/bose, pioneer AVH-W4500NEX, and RP-4. The micro bypass specifically states to only connect it to the radio only, am I supposed to connect it to the rp-4 harness as well? Also does the pioneer ignition (red) get powered off the RP-4 relay (red)? There's no standard red ignition wire included on the RP-4 harness.Also is there a reason you didn't use the speed signal? Thanks for the help! Your videos are awesome 👍

[@uptownsanta8683]

Great Video.

[@donnewkirk2051]

You guys make some of the best videos. Do you connect the RCA's from the PAC module to the aftermarket radio or just use the wires for the factory speakers? It is a Bose system.

[@braidenmattocks8273]

Same question I don’t want to use all the rca inputs on my radio can I just wire it up using the harness from the radio and still retain the factory system.

[@sharpsharp5555]

Holy WOW !!!!! Best video Award!!!! Thanks Guys. All the info I need.

[@txroknjok]

Is there a way to use the GM/Onstar microphone that's already installed with these stereos?

[@vathanalovan6824]

Can you one with factory navigation?

[@fredonthecuttzent.8405]

What's the baby blue wire for on the pioneer harness???

[@Jeff-gu6nb]

Wait. So the steering wheel controls are part of the 24-pin adapter? Which pin/wire is the swc? I feel like this could work with a separate 3.5mm male input into a stereo that had the custom button input

[@edtharpe1126]

Great videos, I've watched several! I've got a 04 Tahoe 6 disc Bose, with rear DVD player and wireless headphones. Will the RP5 kit work to keep these features?

[@moejr14]

Is the rp5-gm11 an updated version of this harness?

[@PRGuanica]

Do you have a video on a 2007 Sierra?

[@regclyne5137]

Hi I have a 2003 avalanche with Bose soon going to install double din with nav it looks like there is a microphone in the overheat console can I use that mic and do I need a satellite antenna or can I use the on star one also want to do back up camera do you hard wire it in or is it wireless Look forward to hearing from you so far you have the best channel out there thx for your time

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

You will have to use the new mic that comes with the radio. If it has factory XM you may be able to use a Sat1 to retain the factory antenna. The OnStar antenna will not work for that. We only use hard wired cameras, wireless do not perform well.

[@FOLKILA]

Where do you connect the steering wheel blue/yellow wire to Kenwood ?

[@luisquintero1945]

Awesome video, will this be a base to use on a 2005 Trailblazer with Bose system (no subwoofer) without steering controls. I want to start an upgrade to a Kenwood DVD, back up camera and not use the bose amp (changing to a better amp)?

[@definitehotshotwill]

How did yall disable the annoying door chime?

[@bougi66]

Hope you can help. I have a 01 chevy tahoe. The factory amp is behind the glove box. I installed a aftermarket stereo a few years ago and worked fine. My factory amp does not work anymore. I do have the accessory wire from the stereo wired in to the factory harness. Pink wire on the plug that is not used anymore. My question is. If I bypass the amp as show in the video you did on the red avalanche. Will the factory subwoofer still work? Or is there another bypass that needs to be done? I do have the bypass kit like in your video

[@srickp]

Does using the RP4 allow you to retain fader controls in the new tuner vs the RP5? I have the factory Bose system in my 2005 Suburban.

[@meatman3042]

What is the difference between rp5 gm11 and rp4 gm11 I have an 04 Silverado HD with onstar which I dont use and Bose which I want . I bought the rp5 ? Great channel

[@davidchisolm682]

What is the C2R and the RP4?

[@bertperez1993]

I noticed you didn't have to wire a red accessory switch wire. Will this same install work on a 2003 Avalanche?

[@dj_singer_wallygator4949]

I have a 2003 Silverado 2500hd. I have the Am/FM CD Tape player. I do have steering wheel controls However, I only have ONE wiring harness (although there's a place for TWO on the back of the OEM radio) and the micro antenna wire. Every video I've seen has at least one other wiring harness. Am I missing something here?! I'm wanting to install a JVC (KD-X370BTS) single DIN stereo with Bluetooth and Spotify capabilities. Do I need the interface? And if so, how do I hook it up with only ONE wiring harness? Thanks, your video was VERY informative!

[@rob3rtaron]

Good video. I own a 2004 sierra 1500 crew cab with a rear seat audio control. After installing a kenwood dmx906s and axxess axdis-cl2 noticed that there is no rear audio and the unit doesn't turn on and the rear speakers run through that unit. Wondering I missed something? Everything else works fine and tried replacing the control module even and the other ones do the exact same thing

[@emmanueldejesuz9987]

Omg dude I'm going crazy. Here first time dealing with car stereo I just can figure it out what to what do you connect thr blue wire out of the 5 wire in to the stereo pioneer connector?

[@80swasthebestest]

Is it possible to install xm radio to this vehicle?

[@dabloesco]

I have the RP 5GM 11. I am installing an aftermarket, subwoofer and amp but I’m still using the door speakers and tweeters at the moment until I decide what speakers I will install there. Do I need to bypass the amplifier since I’m using aftermarker for subwoofer? I was going to just retain amplifier with the sub said it would powered the door still head out a little bit of extra power until I get upgrade but then I started taking will it interfere with the subwoofer and the mono amp. I also saw that there is an RCA input, which I do not think I actually have anyway, but for the Bose system to be plugged into the back of the head unit which my mono amp needs. to cause any electrical issues. They don’t see any instructions on that particular scenario.

Not sure if this is monitored still but just purchased a 2004 yukon denali with typical pain in arse things to install a aftermarket head unit steering wheel controls, rear DVD and radio, Bose, on star. I already have a jvc double din from previous truck that got totaled. It has bluetooth etc. Question is the RP5 GM11 the best one for the job? And by having steering wheel controls and a mic for hands free, do you just use a y spliter? Not really concerned with on star but my truck has a mic in headliner for onstar

[@keithmartinez07]

Question: I ordered the same RP5-GM11 Class 2 data-bus with 24pin and 12pin harness. I have Bose system and want to keep my steering wheel controls but the only problem I have is that I don’t have the front and rear RCA cables like you have. Looks like I only have a red and white male connectors. I noticed you have 4. I don’t know if they have different versions and do I need them.

I used a os2x and a swi-rc should I have used something different seemed like the best fit since I have a Yukon with Bose and rear entertainment and I wanted everything to work as if the factory radio had never been touched

[@mogyver69]

do you have any install videos with the new OS-2X. i did a install couple weeks ago with no issues on a silverado 2007 classic kenwood stereo and today doing a install on 05 silverado same stereo radio comes on and functios but ,3 seconds later lost sound. played with the wire harness thought that was issue cause sound came back again and then shut off. Pulled connectors yellow wire, red wire, blue antenna /amp wires and ground wires and soldered all them. same issue first turned on and now no sound again. thinking os-2x is bad?
