I installed a pioneer double din into my 03 tahoe and did not need to remove all those plastics. For +12v I used some special fuse that haven a wire running from them allowing you to use the OEM fuse box
The lack of switched power makes me wonder if GM is using a CAN bus connection to the factory radio to turn it off when the RAP timer expires. Is there CAN bus wiring that is being abandoned with this conversion? That could affect the other modules on the network perhaps?
You mention installing a microphone for the bluetooth. Im not seeing that as being included with any of the items on your links. Am i missing something?
I’m struggling I’ve installed this very radio on a Toyota Camry 05 and I can’t get it to work on my 2003 Tahoe. Not sure what I did for it not to work it’s 100% not the fuses or radio as I’ve run tests.
Have you jumped out the factory amp? If not, I don't think the radio will work. I have 2 other videos on bypassing the amp. Surprisingly, the plug for the climate control fits the back of the radio. I suggest confirming that you have the head unit connected to the truck's radio wiring plug. If that is not it, I suggest disconnecting everything and slowly reinstalling it.
Hello I know it's over a year from looking at some of the comments but I am having the exact same thing with an 03 Tahoe Z71 that came with a Bose system someone had it before me they hacked it all up of course, I have power to the radio, Pioneer regular radio not a double din, however no sound. 🤔
Son I usually don't comment on anything I see on RU-vid. I've been doing this for 41 years under no circumstances should you ever use wire nuts! This is the worst hack job I've ever seen my entire life people watching this are going to burn their vehicles to the ground You can buy a bypass or you can buy an interface to use the Bose amp and not the one in the stereo I've done them both ways and both ways work well. I believe you got good intentions with your video but this is not the right way to install even your backup camera is installed wrong!
