I am new here and just have a 2007 NBS silvarado 1500 2 wheel drive onstar but now bose and want to install a pioneer AVH-P3100DVD I have purchased the wireharnes, lan interface and bezal kit. What i need is the location of the parking brake wire and the reverse wire location so I can hook up dvd and back up camera. If you could send me location and color of wire that would be great. Thanks in advance. truck does not have bose

I purchased the PAC C2R-GM2 I do not plan on using Onstar and also now my battery is dead when went out to get lunch could this have something to do with changing the radio out?

 

 

 

I did not get the parking brake up yet or the reverse signal.

 

 

What interface did you buy? lots of them provide both wires for you

Not sure about pioneer to be sure but most of the aftermarket DVD players (like my kenwood) you can connect the parking brake wire to ground to buypass it. The reverse, I am not sure I can look it up Wednesday night when I go into work if you don't have it by then.

 

The dead battery could be from the radio install if the 12v switched wire was not hooked up properly or if the module is defective. If you do not notice your radio on wen the key is off (and after you open the driver door) then I would suspect that it was just a coincidence. Probably from having the door open for an hour or more while you installed the radio.

Ok the dead battery came from my son turning on the dome lamps and me having the door open throughout the install. I still do not have the reverse signal and also need the parking brake wire I can tie into. If I understand you correctly I can just go to the frame or ground wire and the dvd will work or will bypass the parking brake correct? Thanks for your help

You cant just ground the parking brake wire on a newer pioneer head unit like that, it is a legal thing so they made it a bit harder to do if you want to work around being able to play dvds on the move.

buy a Pac-Audio TR-7

 

this will mimic the parking brake signal for the pioneer, alpine, kenwood, etc and allow video in motion.

 

if you have only the ground wire (and not the foot brake and parking brake wire, sorry not that familiar with pioneer) then the wire you want is on the back of the parking brake, you can see it if you look at the parking brake unit, it is a single ground wire stuck at the very back.

Ya know you can just stick your head under the dash and look at the wire coming from the foot brake right? If you want on the move just search ebay for pioneer bypass and for about $10 you will get what you need.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.

      Oil Consumption

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      1/2 qt over full ain`t gonna hurt $h!t. Most times, a whole qt won`t either. Most have windage trays now. As long as the crank isn`t slapping itself in the oil, it`s not the end of the world.   We used to overfill 1 qt at the track, at race time. Better to have it over full than having the pan sucked dry at 6500 rpm`s.
