You broke things down very clearly, Thanks much Tahoe Steve. I was wondering IF I needed another wiring harness/interface because I bought another aftermarket head unit/radio. I learned, I dont, because the harness and interface is dedicated to the car's year, make, and model, not the radio/head unit.

I have a 03 Tahoe that did have bose at one time plus steering wheel controls. The last install with pioneer with amp blew. Only half the channels work now. My daughter drives it most of the time. There's a short and they never did steering wheel controls. I got the scosche gm2000 kit now I'm need a pro😳

I installed a single din stereo in my 04 tahoe with the steering wheel controls, crutchfield had all the wiring and adapters to retain steering wheel controls and it was fairly simple. Seemed a little intimidating at first but after I got started connecting wires it wasn't bad at all

The headunit goes out to the existing factory amplifier. There are generally some important things to keep in mind though like having the volume set to roughly 3/4 of max on the old headunit so the amplifier isn't set too low or high etc. Recommend watching a video specific to bose systems.

Hey man I've wired a decent amount of IoT type things. Ethernet runs and such. Understand the concept. I wasn't able to get the interface I needed for the Pioneer 160bt from Walmart. They have the GM2000SW instead of the GM3000SW that was needed. On the interface box it said Pontiac something through 2012. Figured I would take the chance bc I'm dumb lol seems it will work though. Can you tell me what's going to be the issue I come across before I get to it or what is the difference between the interfaces please? Best wiring video I've seen. Been on here for hours man. I have a 2009 Pontiac G6 btw sorry. Thanks man! Great video.

We have the same vehicle same setup, you didn’t say anything about the Orange wire, just the Orange and white. It looks like you have it taped off. Instructions said to hook to illumination, but also said to do the same with Orange White, so, I just attached the Orange and White from the Factory Harness Side. And taped off the Orange wire, let me know if I’m supposed to connect the Orange to Orange White connection.

Question, I have a 2011 chevy malibu and I used the gm Lan Axxess wiring harness and I have the swc module and it doesn't work with my atoto sa102 head unit or the unit I had before. That said I found a video saying you don't need it if the radio supports it, but the issue is I don't know what wire to even attempt to attach the loose swc wire from the head unit to the car's wires. In the video I found for a Ford it was a light blue and the red accessory wire from the car to the swc wire from the head unit. Would you happen to know which wire(s) is used for swc in the 2011 chevy malibu or gm vehicles of the time? Thanks.

@deankay44343 жыл бұрын
I have GM schematics but only up to 2004. On a 2003 Tahoe, the amp is turned on with a signal from class 2 serial data. It is the .ORG wire from the radio into the network connecting many items to this serial data line. When the radio is turned on, a wake up signal and VIN number is shared on the single wire. This includes the amp under the center console at the back. The amp turns on and the radio drops it speaker output to pre-amp low lever. If you can find a schematic online with everything the same, check power to the amp at the fuse block first. The radio get louder the faster your drive because it get a vehicle speed signal from the same wire. There is a diagnostic flow chart for amp not turning on, but if it has power, check the serial data line which can be any color. Under the dash (Or somewhere like that) they use a “Splice Pack” which has 10 wires or so, but the flat side has a metal one piece connector. When removed, a digital multi meter to ground and touching an active class2 wire will read 4.5 volts on the DC voltage setting. Class2 is quickly moving from 0 volts to 7 volts DC. The mete cannot read real time, but will show an average. So average is 1/2 of signal voltage. Ground to radio turned on, is 4.5 Vdc. If nothing, it has to be checked. The amp is hard to get to and produces no serial data until turned on via serial data. Only the right color wire from amp to the splice pack can be checked using resistance or ohms. It should read 1-2 ohms to splice pack when disconnected. This is why they use a scan-tool from the factory, a TECH2. In body, entertainment or radio / amp, special functions, here you can push a soft button to change volume or other functions. Take a clear close-up digital photo of the RPO code sticker in the glove box. These numbers and letters tell what the vehicle was built with. Go into a dealer and strike up a conversation with a tech. Offer him/her $10 for a 6 pack, but they will use their computer year, make, model then print the wires for radio & amp. It’s simple!
