Deck Pioneer 1200mp Going Into A Sierra 1500, Install Issues

I'm installing this the old fashioned way, by bypassing the factory harness plug. I dont like the chimes and a bunch of other things.

 

I have the speaker wires hooked up correctly with the stereo harness that came with the deck. 

 

I'm just down to the factory Harness(s) Black white stripped wire, Theres 2 Orange wires, one is smaller in diameter and to the best of knowledge the larger orange wire is a constant power feed. So that leaves the 2 I am unsure of.

 

The pioneer deck has a red wire (controlled by ignition switch)

Yellow Wire (Constant power supply)~Should go to the orange, but when crimped nothing happens, No Juice. 

Blue Wire with a white stripe (remote control thingy, I dont think I need this one hooked up, correct me if I'm wrong)

 

 

I think I have to run a wire to the radio fuses in the fuse box, which I  dont mind doing cause I had to do it with my old Nissan truck on some accessories I added.

 

I dont have a whole lot money to keep dishing out on this thing, I bought a generic wire harness from wal mart and its a fail on arrival, it doesnt match up.

 

any help is welcome.

I got my deck to work W/O the Harness everyone tells me to buy.  :lol: Even some installers were telling me the same thing.

 

The chimes dont work, but im cool with, cause i actually save a little static and ear ACHE.

 

I connected a red wire to stereo fuse insert(Fuse Box), then it went to the Deck constant power source which is the yellow wire on the Pioneer Harness.

 

Black Wire goes to Black wire. (Factory to Pioneer Deck Harness)

 

Red wire to Big Orange wire. (Pioneer Harness to Factory Harness)

 

These are the 3 Basic wires to get the Deck Powered up. THATS IT.

 

The rest is just hooking up + & -'s speaker wires.

 

I hope this helps alot of people, peace out.

I'm glad you got it worked out.

 

But do your airbags still work? I thought those things were piped through OnStar and your stereo and not integrating that might cause them to not function.

I was also told that a lot of things run through the stock radio. Thats why you need the special harness. I know it can be expensive, but i found a walmart that stocks the correct harness with the chime box. I think it was like $24.00. Much better than the 100 for the other one. Have had it installed with my aftermarket radio for 2 years now. No problems at all.

I like GMC.

 

 

But since owning the truck i have had alot of issues (Speedometer, key ignition, tailgate, a/c, Powersteering Mechanics, too many automated light features and a few other things I can't exlplain.) with it and I can not afford to fix everything. To me its a work truck. Hooking up the stereo like I did was kind of half fast, the airbag sensors still work, even before that the air bag service light came on for no reason along with the tranie light, given the truck only has 40,000 miles. 

 

I just wanted better sound and something that can keep my sanity while working in az, cause its a tough climate. 

 

The stereo works but the clock and stereo can't hold memory. Thats OK, I'm a hiker so I plan on buying one of those compasses with a clock that I can mount inside the vehicle.

 

But, the stereo sounds great and I appreciate my vehicle a little bit more. Maybe this fall when its not 115 degrees outside I can tweak a few things and put some finishing touches on it. 

 

You could be right about that WINGNUT, I would not doubt that, given how the electrical parts and design is all put together. You gotta go, you gotta go, ha ha, jk. 

I had a few days to see how this is going with the truck and this is whats going on:

 

~Basic Dash Illumination still works in the interior.

 

~When the Key is disengaged from the ignition everything in the cabin Shuts-Off, But you can still turn on lights.

 

~Again, the Stereo doesnt hold memory or clock memory.

 

~The Battery is not being drained.

 

I can live with that. I'm sure there is a way to correct at least one of these this w/o extra money down for a harness, anything is possible. It was fun working on it.

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
