Headunit And/or Speaker Problems

I have a 2007 Avalanche 1LT with the stock headunit and speakers. Non-BOSE. I've had a problem for some time now where my passenger rear speaker has no sound. I haven't had the time to take the door panel off and see if there is a loose connection but I noticed the other day that my driver rear speaker seems to be at reduced volume. Then over the weekend I have been having trouble with the radio cutting out all-together. It will be playing my favorite radio station just fine then stop. If I switch presets then come back eveything works again. Then bam, stops.

 

I'm now thinking I have a headunit problem. Again, this is the stock, non-BOSE headunit. I have changed out stereo systems, speakers, installed amps, etc. in the past but not on anything newer than a 2001 Tahoe. What all is involved? I know I want to keep the chimes, OnStar, and would like to keep the steering wheel audio controls. What all do I need? Any suggestions on what unit to get? I would like for it to be a double-DIN to fill the entire space left behind when the stock unit is removed. Also, any suggestions on where to purchase or is crutchfield the best bet?

 

Thanks!

You will need

Axxess-GMOS-LAN-01-Interface-Non-Amplified-Systems or Scoshe GM21SR

Metra-95-3305-Installation Mounting Bracket or Scoshe Mounting Bracket

Some Butt Connectors and a set Crimpers

Antenna adapter I got mine off Ebay for like 5 Bucks.

 

I am pretty thats what you need... As for where to buy that stuff I would suggest just googling the Model numbers and buying it from the best buyer that can be trusted or just off ebay, I got mine from amazon and ebay.

 

As for the Headunit... I would suggest

Pioneer 3200 *This is the unit I own I just hate the USB being in the front but I just ran the wires back and put them in the dash to the Glovebox*

If you want to step up from that... Go with

Pioneer 4200

There are also Blue Tooth Modules for those or Models with Blue Tooth built in on the 3200BT

If you want a unit that just is a CD player

Pioneer FH-8000

 

As for where to buy your headunit... I suggest Just Amazon. Crutchfield is a Authorized dealer but they are way overpriced. I bought mine and just bought a 2 year warrenty for 25 bucks off amazon. If your lucky some of the Marketplace people on amazon are Authorized dealers as well Sometimes they drop there prices to match amazons. 6ave is the one I seen do it the most.

 

I Just did all this on my 2003 Silverado... So I just followed the same steps in figured out what you needed but you might wanna double check everything I posted by just googling it. As for the Steer Wheel Controls I think they vary by your Headunit Manufactor, here is a link to the Pioneer one. Thats one thing Cruthfield is good for... Is tell you all you need then you go buy it cheaper somewhere else.

 

Before you buy your Headunit search for it on Youtube... I love watching vids of the products I want before I buy them.

 

*edit.... BTW since you live in texas I think you can install a relay to DVD unit up front so you will be able to move and drive instead of having just the parking brake wire. Its just illegal to watch dvds and drive but is legal to have it hooked up so you can in texas I think. You can see how to install that on Youtube as well.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      Radio Update

      By haoleboyZ71 · Posted

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...
