2006 chevy silverado aftermarket radio install 

4 minutes, perfect! No bullshit, great vid. Thx.

This video is a lifesaver! I spent hours connecting to the wrong wires without knowing what was wrong. Thank you

A few years ago, I replaced the radio in my wife's 2005 Trailblazer, and it was the biggest pain in the rear! had to practically dismantle everything, couldn't get the right adapter... grr... swore i'd never mess with anything like that again. But, now having seen this amazing video, I'm ready to replace the pain in the rear, lousy OEM radio in my 2006 Silverado! Thanks, great work, great vid! New sub.

Straight to the point, that's how you make a video!

Outstanding video. Please make more. I am a retired SPED Teacher (very deep well of experience and training.) I believe these videos will help the ADHD, Autism, Intellectual Disability, etc. communities to become mush more self sufficient. Frankly, most of the General Education Teachers and administrative staff can take many notes from your presentation and delivery. You delivered a model in the beginning, with an explanation of the big picture. You delivered prescriptive direction with visual and kinesthetic models. You concluded with a commonly understandable summary of achievement. Bravo. Congratulations! You can teach better than most of the DOE teachers in the country. It was a pleasure to respond to your video. Thank you.

Thank you so much! I was wondering where to pick up power at! Best install video I've seen so far!

Great video. Concise and to the point. A few pieces of constructive criticism from a fellow DIYer that's been dabbling in car audio for 10+ years. T taps and scotch locks are a BIG no no in the car audio world. They have a tendency to make the wire weak and prone to failure. Crimp caps are acceptable for butting wires together, they just make your wiring harness look like poop IMO. Butt connectors are my preferred method if I can't solder and heat shrink/tape. To go the extra mile and really make your harness look super OEM solder and heat shrink all your connections, and then follow up by wrapping it in TESA tape.

Probably the best how to install video ive ever watched

Great vid! I was hooking my stereo up today and it wouldn't work..extremely helpful man!

Excellent video. The only one that answered all my questions. And not to much talk. You are the man!

Thanks for the video! It actually looks surprisingly easy compared to the speaker install I did on my 06.

Thanks bro. Simple and straight to the point. Really helped me with my install

Damn, dude. Quick and easy. Hope mine goes the same way. Great video.

Love your videos man, short, sweet, and to the point. Getting mine done today in my 2007 classic and all thanks to you

Thank you my friend it's been a shit loud of help . i have been going nut trying to help my daughter with truck. And no power . fantastic video no extra garbage in the video thank you again my friend

Great video ! Now I’m not too afraid to install an aftermarket stereo in our 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe 😁 (non bose, no onstar)

Thats the easiest way ive seen yet. Mad pros bro. I kno my shit but u mad this way easier. Thank you

Thank you man. this quick, to the point vid made installing a breeze

Great video, I learned a lot and now I feel confident, thank you young man. I appreciate you.

Good video. No nonsense. Straight to the point.

Awesome video bro quick and simple

Thank you a ton - referenced your video a few times and got my first radio done.

Same model I have and an easy ass instal. Didn't even need some 20 minute video. Hell yeah

Can you include all the products (make and model numbers) you bought/ used in this video? The stereo, adapters, and anything else you think we might need. Thank you

"Again its gonna feel like you're breaking it because it's so fragile" lmao

Thanks man, I was worried I’d have to relinquish the harness but seems you didn’t thanks brother

straight to the point I like your style

Appreciate it man this literally helped me tons rn trying install this double din

I like the video! It's so easy to install a radio.you can install the radio yourself.

Thanks man i was trying to how to turn on my stereo thanks for the video

Really helped alot. Had to bypass my chime, it was causing my truck to short out bad.

Really really helpful man. I didn't know where to connect the red wire to but this video helped me a lot. Thanks.

Thank you. Simple and to the point. Great job sir.

Exactly what I needed. Thanks!

nice buc ees shirt haha, good instructional video man straight to the point with no B.S

Quick, straight and easy! great video!

incredibly helpful thanks bro

that helped a lot especially with hooking up the red 12v ign wire to the brown ac/heat wire... that was my problem so thanks a lot man.

I made the argument that you can RU-vid any hobby and said "I bet I could RU-vid how to replace the stereo in a 2006 gmc Sierra right now!" So thank you for winning Me this argument.

very good about everything mostly about the wire ignition power because gm does not have power ignition.. we have to wire up to another source 12 volt power ignition. congratulations you make everything easy while others does not explain well and make them harder.

Thanks for the info was planning on getting one for my 05 tahoe cause it has the exact same radio

Just the right amount of explanation, top notch video.

Quick and simple. I know nothing about wiring and audio and I was able to do it on my own

Good Job helped me out...Thanks

Great video easy to follow. Do most GM Silverado radios have the same connection in the back?

I agree that crimps and scotch locks are garbage. Always solder and heat shrink, it's worth the extra effort. On a positive note you've got some serious mechanical talent there! Not sure if that was due to video editing magic, but popping off the panels was not so straightforward for me, and you need to be really careful to pull things off equally are you will break the plastic in a heartbeat. I did this at 50° myself and ended up breaking the plastic, so that's another thing to be careful of. It's better to work in higher temperatures with plastic or you risk the risk of breaking. I thought 50° was warm enough, but 16-year-old plastic is really brittle. I was working on a 2006 Chevy express 3500. Thank God for junk yards!

Was having so much trouble with this, thanks.

Good looking! Saved me loved the idea to tap into the Climate control knobs

THIS WORKS THANK YOU !!!

FYI you gotta take the key out after the ignition was cycled to completely kill the power going to the radio. And the interface module dose more than allow you to use steering wheel controls. So for $30 you can get the interface module and wiring adapter for your truck and not tap into the AC control system and have everything work as it should

You are the fucking MAN! Thanks bro. If you’re ever in the Detroit area, I owe you a beer.

Thank you this help a lot I’m happy.

Thank you for this live saver i was so stressed it was not working even with the interface 😂

Excellent job and video

Gracias por subir este video, me ayudó mucho, me da flojera escribir en ingles jajaja pero muchas gracias

thanks for pointing out how to tap into the brown wire!!!

Thanks man helped alot, especially with the dumb red power wire

Well thanks man that was so helpful I am really proud to have you as a RU-vidr friend I love you long time

Thanks for share this video, is very useful.

Thanks buddy! Looks like the antenna on the truck we bought for my son isn’t connected. So I’m going to have to go in and have a look.

Great video. Simple and to the point! Only one question, what is the splice called that you used to connect the power wire into the A/C power?

FYI, Do not tap into the AC power wire. Run the wire to the battery hot accessory port in the fuse box. Anytime you tie into another factory wire always solder the wires. Keep wrenching.

Thanks bro the same truck it’s perfect

Great video !!

Good information thanks bro

I have a question..i have followed the steps you have...however, i don't have power going to the aftermarket radio. I connected the wires color by color (red with Red and Black with Black, yellow with yellow)...Do i need to have a red (power) wire run to the fusebox?

Great video.

can you tap in the ac unit if you don't want to use the steering wheel controls to keep from buying the interface cause my 2005 Chevy Tahoe has steering controls with on star but no bose premium sound

The video is useful. I do it on a silverado and in a trailblazer.

Thanks for the video! Big help. Did Chevy team up with North Korea on the availability of the wiring harness? I almost bought every one that AutoZone sells before I found the right one at a flea market. I've got twice as much $ in the kit/wiring than the radio! Anyway, thanks again!

Nice Video !!

Good video thanks man

Thanks, pretty cool

Been my go to video for this project, been extremly helpful, one question tho, at 2:00, where does that red wire specifically come from, from the adapter or the radio connectors or does it not matter

Did you tie red to red then splice to brown ac wire?

Thanks bro it works lol

thanks for the help!

What is that blue clip called you add to the brown wire? And does the other end of that red wire just connect to the other two red wires, harness and deck?

Just did mine and was having hard time turning on the stereo thanks for the tip on the red cable info 👍

This answers why I wasn't getting power. So I ordered the same harness you used. Question where does that long red wire connect to on the harness??

I love this video wow neta está muy bien esplicado gracias hermamo

Did this exact same thing, now my damn ol AC doesn’t blow any suggestions?

Would this be the same for an 02 Chevy. Also isn’t there something to do with the olms in the older chevys and the Bose systems. Those look like 4 olm speakers and the default bose speakers are usually 2 olm.

Very helpful

The red wire! Thank you!!🙏

Does it still work good? No problems with the a/c ?

Does the ORANGE (LIGHT) wire is the same wire like ORANGE/WHITE (DIMMER)?

Cool vid 👌

Is it possible to get door chimes and turn signal sounds with an aftermarket radio?

So do u wire the red wire straight to ac or also to the wiring harnes

My truck doesnt have the wheel huttons but i do have a new radio like aftermarket wit a screen can i wire the buttons from the wheel to control the radio with the corresponding buttons?

So you dont need to buy a custom dash kit only the bracket?

I just spent $50 on the interface box hooked everything up now my truck won’t idle goes dead I put the factory radio back and everything is good now i’m going to try this see if this works for my truck without having the chrome box

Can you please tell us which wiring harness you used cause I'm completely lost!

Thank you broo

do you lose the door chime when you take out the factory radio? I seen some installs that have this little module with the new harness. tks great video

What cwrigh25 said. Awesome good

outstanding

Nice video

Thanks man
