If the sound system volume does not react immediately, but has a noticeable delay, the system is a Premium BOSE. You can also check the glove compartment service parts sticker/label for the Premium BOSE Y91/Z75 BOSE radio code If "Premium" BOSE amplifier is not used or is bypassed.

DarkDragonWing Do i need to do all this to update my radio? O thought it was matter of stiing it and getting that plugged .

[@robertmallette5705]

Would this be the same for the 05 equinox?

[@DarkDragonWing]

@robertmallette5705 Nowadays, it's best to buy plug and play Android head units. Something like this: amzn.to/3DO4X8y I'm not sure if that is the exact fit for 05 Equinox, but you get the idea. Look around, and you will see plug and play head units for your car.

[@novoempresario6975]

@@DarkDragonWing I need to put the reverse camera on my equinox, I really liked your work, you can give me the stripe with all the materials to be buying, thank you

[@DarkDragonWing]

@novoempresario6975 Best to get an Android unit that is plug and play to your car.

Well done! I admire the amount of detail you put into your work.

Teasing us with the e30 in the background :(

[@jacksonjones402]

let's say this 2 years ago I had never touch car audio it's really easy match color to color threading the wire can be difficult but the installing part is simple read directions and you will get it it beats paying outrageous amounts of money for somebody else to do I know do installs all the time

[@incontrovertiblegoodvibes5937]

Nice clean video. I'm getting ready to put this exact same radio into my 05 Silverado. However, I have a few gotchas like the Bose amplified system and On-Star system. I have to run an interface module like the PAC RP5-GM11 to retain my factory features (On-Star, SWC, Door Chime, etc). Your video has given me some ideas on how I want to tap into my reverse like wire and what to expect from the radio.

I just bought me a 2007 chevy equinox its super sweet for a ride and great on gas as well.

[@lazarolopez6931]

What an amazing video you are very smart man, I would like to be able to do to my car which is identical, that job without using the cameras or microphones, here in Tampa it would be difficult for me

Can you make a foot well lighting video for the Equinox? One that would be wired to the dome light would make you an Equinox God.

Wade what type of car do you have?

[@WadeWilson-]

Joel Murray I have two cars, but I was talking about my old 1998 Impreza. I installed a rear sensor, but no cameras and people who do this kind of stuff here in my country usually do it all wrong.

My dad's car is a Suzuki Grand Vitara (but in Chile is Grand Nomade), with reverse camera and full radio.

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Lucas Martínez Parra That is awesome!

+The DarkDragonWing Yeah! 100% Japanese car!

[@smirnoff1589]

Thoroughly impressed with your expertise sir

[@AlejandroMendoza-ns7dn]

I followed all your instructions and the radio works perfectly. However, after the installation was my singal light and my emergency lights stopped working. You said to use the yellow wire from the emergency light as the connection to the red acc 12volt wore. Please help me fix my problem

[@BigPaco213]

Very impressed with how far you hav come!!! Keep up the awesome and very well detailed videos!!!

[@nghtrdr]

There's some very good useful info here but a lot of major do nots in car wiring. If your going to go through all the trouble to properly solder all your connections, please use shrink wrap on them as well. Electrical tape is not a safe way to go here. Be very careful when probing wires on any vehicle that uses a data system like the equinox shown. You can very easily damage a computer. Use of a relay would be a safer connection for the reverse wire. Use the reverse wire simply as the trigger and run a fused line from the battery or spare fuse at the fuse block. Again this vehicle uses a data system. Always use a grommet when going through sheet metal. The dum dum putty used will not stop the wire moving and shorting out. Some of these practices used can and will cause a fire eventually. If you must use electrical tape, use tesa tape which is much stronger and offers better insulation factors and will also handle the heat in a vehicle (tesa is designed for use in vehicles including under hood). GL on the next install vid. Hopefully you use better wiring practices than shown here.

[@AmorosoEcuatoriano]

this is a super video !!!!! but in the part were you got the three wires ..minute 6.20 .. were the brake wire came from??.....

[@DarkDragonWing]

+AmorosoEcuatoriano Thank you! You can just connect the brake wire to the ground. cheers

[@franciscoreyes9831]

Hello, best and most useful video since I want to install the same system in my car. Question: what make and model wireless camera did you install? Thanks.

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Francisco Reyes I use this one. It works good, but only for a few minutes at a time. Once it gets hot, it will get fuzzy. But I only use it for a few seconds so no biggies. www.ebay.com/itm/2-4GHz-Wireless-Car-Rear-view-Backup-Reverse-Camera-For-Car-Monitor-DVD-Player-/251578009783?hash=item3a9337c8b7:g:pOIAAOSw9NxTtV07&vxp=mtr I recommend you try the wired one because it might give better video since it's direct connection. Though wiring it might be some work. www.ebay.com/itm/Wired-CMOS-II-Night-Vision-Car-Rear-View-Reversing-Backup-Camera-Kit-/351609344872?hash=item51dd8cd368:g:ZSkAAOSwxN5WT-Vn

[@jameslambert4487]

I have the same radio. It won't keep it's memory. The installer even ran a power from the battery and it still advances the station .2 every time it is shut off. I will be on FM 92.3 and it will advance to FM 92.5 , it does this on all stations

Will the camera hold up just with the tape?

[@rickbalog1511]

Ya just flip the camera around

[@atvxtreme1]

Very nice video! Helped a lot! I do have a question about the wires for the steering wheel controls. Where did you hook up the 3.5 connector up to? I didn't see it in the video when you was installing the new radio.

[@DarkDragonWing]

I didn't use steering wheel controls (SWC). There isn't any button on the steering wheel that controls the radio.

[@atvxtreme1]

DarkDragonWing oh ok I seen that you wired it to with the 3.5 jack

[@DarkDragonWing]

That one is the other one, it's the microphone. The SWC 3.5 female jack is left unplugged.

[@routedworld]

Thank you for the video. Looking at installing this radio and was wondering if you lost your door/warning chimes or what you did to retain them? Thanks.

[@DarkDragonWing]

+routedworld I actually didn't notice it. I might have lost it. I'll check again sometime. But even if I lost it, I don't see no use of the chime at all.

[@jorgeybarola2437]

Macky, have you tried installing an LCD assembly on a Mitsubishi Cedia 2009? i watch most of your lancer fix but did not see a video related to that.

[@selenaortiz1822]

This video was very helpful. I have an 05 Chevy Equinox and we have been following the same steps as you! The only problem is that when we put it in reverse it changes to camera view and them when we put it back to "D" is won't change it stays on Camera with no signal. We seem to be having trouble with the brake wire. Any help?

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Selena Ortiz I see. You can just hook the hand brake wire of the unit to the ground wire.

[@selenaortiz1822]

+The DarkDragonWing Thanksss for the quick response! My car has 2 wires for the hand break. Its a light blue and purple wire. Which one should I use to connect it to the ground?

[@selenaortiz1822]

+The DarkDragonWing Idk if this matters but even when the hand break is on and the car is on "D" the camera mode is still on without signal.

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Selena Ortiz No need to hook it up to the handbrake wire at all. Just hook it up to the chassis ground.

[@robertstewart6619]

You hook the red one into your power wire going into your reverse lights not your brake light the reverse light and then just ground the black one

[@insanechevy91]

great work man really nice install.

I don't know if you still respond to people's questions but where did you find the wiring harness? I'm having trouble finding one for my 05 equinox

[@IYoungandGiftedI]

Hey Dark I am trying to follow your video and do this myself since I have an equinox but mine is a 2005 will this still work for it?

[@rizkyakbar8928]

I think it work check the wiring first if its diffrent check it on Google

[@BBBTVPL]

Well done Mackey. I love the wiring job. You are not afraid the hole you have drilled will rust in future?

[@DarkDragonWing]

+BBB No, it will be fine I think. I put some rubber thing on it so that will do it.

How did you set the backup camera to switch automatically from radio screen and back? I can only view my backuo camera from the touch screen icon!! Thank you,James

[@DarkDragonWing]

There is a wire for that. At 3:59, the green white wire needs to be connected to the reverse (+) light wire.

[@rockpig123]

where does the black 10 pin connector that says sirius xm connect?

[@DarkDragonWing]

+rockpig123 I don't see that wire on the Jensen VX7020

[@PadrePlays]

I was going to install an aftermarket radio in my 06 Equinox ls because the CD player no longer works and when I took it apart just to see what I would need I noticed there was a second plug in the stock stereo I don't see you addressing that here and I've been trying to figure out what it's for and if I have to rewire it can you give me any tips on this? It looks from what I can tell is if you just kind of pushed it to the side I assume it maybe it was from OnStar or something like that?

[@DarkDragonWing]

If it has no use before, I guess it still has no use now. I don't see why you have to use it?

[@gmikeg123]

what did you do with the other small factory radio cord hook up?

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Chu'Wei Carr (Shoppinjunkie) Just left them there.

[@garrettjohnson9083]

can you still use the backup camera when the car is moving

[@DarkDragonWing]

No, only when reversing. However, you can wire the power source of the camera to a wire where 12v is on all the time, like 12v from the cigarette lighter. And do the hard-wired instead of the wireless (hard-wired is better). Then you can view the rear camera whenever you want to.

Hey man, I really need your help. I've installed the vx7022 in my 2012 Mazda 6, and the backup camera seems to be hooked up properly, but it doesnt automatically come up when i put the car into reverse. Any tips or ideas to help me fix this problem?

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Daniel Gibson Hook the power supply for the reverse camera to the reverse light.

[@photo1965]

Great Video!!!

[@nickm.6408]

At around the 6:00 mark, you spliced into the 12v acc wire. Is this for the camera or just for your harness to the stereo? Wouldn't that already be a part of your harness adapter kit? I am about to install this same head unit into my 2008 Mazda CX-9 GT with Bose system.

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Nick Macy Hi. This car's ACC is not included in the radio harness plug. For the camera, I used the backup reverse wire +12v that I spliced from 5:38 Your car should have ACC with the harness plug, other wise you will have to find one like I did.

[@nickm.6408]

+The DarkDragonWing Thank you for replying so fast! I will probably just run a wire all the way from the reverse light since I need to tap into it anyway and run a video cable with it (my camera isn't wireless). I think I will need to use the RCA low level (preamp) outputs for my factory Bose speaker system. I'm using a PAC audio RP4-MZ11 RadioPro interface with built in SWC programming and harness specifically for my vehicle. Any thoughts or tips for the Bose stuff as it relates to this vx7020?

[@DarkDragonWing]

+Nick Macy Yes, that would be a good add to it where you keep all or most of the factory features while having the vx7020. As far as the tips, I would say the installation manual is your best help.

[@nickm.6408]

Hey, thanks again for replying so quickly! I just finished my installation and everything is working great so far. I ended up using wireless transmitters for my backup camera like yours. They work well so far, just a tiny bit of static, but hardly noticeable. Any troubles with your Equinox camera at all? I'm really enjoying the vx7020!

[@DarkDragonWing]

Nick Macy Nice. Yes, it's not the greatest, but it works. If turn it on for more than 1 minute, it will get more fuzzy.
