  1. That is where I went through for my backup camera and nerf bar lighting. Just knocked one out and replaced it with a rubber grommet. good to go!!
  2. I cut a small slit in the main harness near the brake booster. Worked great for me as I ran my amps under the drivers seat. It is a little of a pain because the grommet is double thick.
  3. Got everything from autoway chevrolet. (I work in a bodyshop and thats who we get our GM aprts from. ) Seeing that you have a 2010 you might want to pull your airbag and see if it is pre-wired...
  4. Here is a link for the steering wheel control install I did on my 08 Silverado. The wiring was not in the steering wheel. Part numbers and photos included. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=149595
  5. Thanks... I never thought I would enjoy having them as much. But I do. (I added the PAC Adaptor for my pioneer head unit and it works like a champ!)
  6. Hey there.... I have been reading about the few ways to add steering wheel controls to the 07 up Silverado and have found what might be one of the easier ways to do it. (Besides buying a wheel... ) I was reading in some of the other threads that you can't buy the steering wheel wiring harness by itself. Well, I have done some digging and have found it. It is a little different but works great. Here are a couple of photos of the 2 wiring harnesses... This being the original. and this being the new one. And the 2 plugs side by side. The old one on the left and the new one on the right. I know some of the colors are different in the wires but they go to the same places. And here is the control pod that I ordered. I must say the hardest part of this project was cutting the steering wheel shroud for the switch pod. (I also did not disconnect the airbag or remove the steering wheel.... ) After removing the airbag from the wheel you have this... Remove the 4 Torx (T-30) screws from the horn basket and remove the basket. And now remove the wiring harness. Next you will want to mount the new switches to the wheel cover. (Also separate the 2 halves. It will make the next step easier) The next step will be to trim the steering when shroud. go slow and take small chunks out till the switch fits nice. before adding the new wiring harness you need to change one connector. the brown wire has the wrong sex connector on it. It has a male and needs to be female. change it and extend it 2 or 3 inches. Now you can add the new harness to the steering wheel. install the horn basket and re-install the rest.... Bah Bam!!!! You now have steering wheel Audio controls!!! And here are the part numbers that you need.... 25889498 is the wiring harness and 25851951 is for the controls..... Have fun!! (Next I will be adding the controller for my aftermarket radio to use the steering wheel controls.... )
