Onstar


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am looking to put an sound system in my 2009 Silverado, but want to upgrade to aftermarket cd player. Is there anyway to do this and still keep my onstar? If not I know I can hook it up to the stock but would prefer to have an aftermarket cd player. Also will doing this void any of my warranty if I put a new cd player in? Any advice or input is appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Yes. Go to www.pac-audio.com and put in your vehicle info. several items pop up that will integrate. I used the os4 and was able to keep xm, steering wheel controls, and onstar. comes with everything, and if you get a radio from www.crutchfield.com , the give you half off the price of the kit. (crutchfiled used to say this kit did not work for the GMT 900, but that is what it is made for!)

Ok thanks, I looked at the pac-audio website not sure what everything is the main reason for wanting to keep the onstar is the crash response. I never use the navigation, and my truck doesnt have the bluetooth or radio controls on the steering wheel is there just a simple wiring harness I could get without having to go all out with the one that will keep everything including things my truck doesnt even have.

Thanks,

David

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
