I’m still confused on that part. So you’re supposed to find the power wire for the radio in your aftermarket, strip it etc. then you connect it to the power wire of the car? Or is it ignition radio wire to car power? I have no idea lol I’m so confused
@hillbillyimports31 according to everyone I've talked says, I do. The radio I'm putting in is a dual multimedia receiver with bluetooth. Model xdvd269bt. I don't want to do like a friend did, messed up his computer system. I have a 04 chevy silverado 1500 ls no steering controls except air bag and horn.
@hillbillyimports31 Thank you. I don't have any of those options on my steering wheel anyway . I've talked to every Chevy person I could even blistered dealership for an answer. The original radio that came in it is a first year 04. I'm guessing it was made in 03. I hope you understand, I'm about braindead from calling people. I can work on old-school vehicles, no later than the middle 70's before computers, lol.
It kind of sounds like something is causing the fuse on the back of the aftermarket unit to blow. If you ever decide to get another aftermarket unit, you might want to get that checked out first.
