In this video we continue the progress on the daily driver silverado. When I bought this it had a cheap Boss radio and everytime I got out of the truck the radio stayed on until I pushed the power button. The prior owner cut off the factory harness. I went to a local salvage yard and cut one out to replace it. After getting the factory harness in place it was time to put in a new Pioneer radio. I wanted something more modern and had more power and features. I have had this for a while. The new adapter allowed the retained accessory power to work. This means the radio stays on until the door is opened or the system times out. I also installed new door led lights and made sure all the speakers were hooked up correctly. This video shows you how to install a new radio in your silverado or sierra truck. Double din radios look good in the silverado and the factory one doesn't have any good features. This is a great upgrade for any silverado or sierra. It will also work in tahoe and yukon. Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

Only reason this video doesn’t have millions of views is people seem to stop working on their own cars they just buy a new one and throw the old one away like cell phones 😔 just wanted to let you know 2 years later someone appreciates the time and effort you put into these tutorials ❤

[@TWAMotorsports]

You aren't wrong. I appreciate the comments

[@JSRRADIO]

I could of bought a brand new pickup truck that worked and what not.. but nope I got a 97 gmc that dident start and now after being in the shop it's running. I'm a truck driver who is hardly home that's why it's in th3 shop however.. I will be updating the suspension my self

Very satisfying to see that messy wiring all fixed up, great job Travis.

[@TWAMotorsports]

[@larrydeaton5452]

Good evening Travis. I put a Pioneer double din all touchscreen in my 13 Silverado. I bought the upgraded interface that retains the steering wheel controls. My truck didn’t come from the factory with steering wheel controls. I bought a leather wrapped unit from my local salvage yard that had the controls. It all worked together and now I can control the stereo from my wheel. I also took out one of my 12 volt recepticals and put a factory GM usb plug with the cover to match the other. Now I can use my Apple CarPlay. Worked out pretty sweet

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thats awesome. I have seen that 12 volt usb deal and it is nice

I put a radio a couple of months back in my son’s first car so he could have Bluetooth. Bought a harness of eBay and spliced it for plug and play no cutting wires and like you except soldering, I got heat shrinking butt connectors then black tape around them and the harness as a whole. I was alittle nervous because I’m a handle guy but I never put in a radio but it worked perfect. I just took my time the night before sitting at the table splicing in the harness. Pioneer is the best! I have ran them in almost all my cars. I have a pioneer 760 amp and a Alpine Type R 12in sub in need to put in my car now but I’m not going to tackle that one!

Thats awesome. Sounds like a nice set up for your son.

I've always been faithful to Pioneer head units. I have an older version of that head unit you installed in my 05 Tahoe. I'm thinking of upgrading it so I can be able to use Android Auto. I will run the USB for my install though. Good video!

So I had my buddy help hook up and aftermarket radio because I’ve never done it before. Long story short, he cut factory plug and taped everything in place. With that said, this video just saved me a bunch of money and time.

[@TWAMotorsports]

That's good

[@johnettewitham4845]

I like the pioneer radio that you put in the truck and also when you put the truck in reverse with that radio and would you have to do is get a backup camera.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Doing a backup camera as we speak

[@GalDemSuga]

I just came across your vid (nice work). You have all the speakers wired correctly except possibly for the front passenger door. I too had the same issue (especially when I got to rear passenger door and saw the brown and yellow wires, so I followed the same logic as the other side....LOL). I looked up the factory specs as per GM, if your vin code in the glovebox is UQ3/UQ5 then light green wire is (-) and dark green wire is (+), and if the vin code is UQ7, then light green wire is (+) and dark green wire is (-). I hope this helps the next person who faces this issue when installing their aftermarket radio.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you for the info

If you to a headliner replacement try to wire up a Oem Microphone to look more factory then aftermarket

[@TWAMotorsports]

That's not a bad idea

[@trevorluthi2239]

Really appreciate the video, I ordered the harness you linked and installed a radio and everything works but the radio stays on even after I have the truck turned off. When I first installed it would turn off when I turned the truck off but after a day it’ll stay on. Idk if it has something to do with it being a Bluetooth paired radio through an app on my phone or if something went wrong with the switched power on the harness, any ideas?

[@TWAMotorsports]

It was the harness

[@thatrebelboy48]

The radio on my OBS was horribly wired. I had to rewire the entire radio wire harness from power and ground to speaker leads. Bought an OEM plug for the truck side of the harness, then bought the adapter plug for an aftermarket radio and wired it to the radio plug to make a subharness.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thats the only way to do it.

[@Jre-rb2ru]

The new radio looks nice. Also I think a good mod would be replacing the center seat with a console. I’d personally also install a backup camera and roll up bed cover. But this is such a nice crew cab.

[@gotthisbro]

Did you not need to run a ignition wire? I'm having a hard time with mine. The harness I bought fits right, but the ignition pin goes nowhere on the OEM. I guess because GM uses the network instead of 12v ignition? I bought the same harness pack you used in here, hopiing that the beeper module will solve this igition issue.
