Hi guys ive been doing some research for hours now and havent really found much of anything that pertains to me. i just got and HTC EVO 4G and all i have found as far as links is for ipods/iphones. i have looked on Pac-Audio and found some products. I found this http://pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?P...p;CategoryID=45 and it goes in line with you antenna. now it says not to use this if the antenna is amplified. Are our antennas amplified? I also havent found anything on here about anyone using these. So i dont know how well they work. But it also lists like 20 more products for my truck and i have no clue which to choose. So any help would be great if you could offer it.

Well you didn't tell us what this is going to be installed in but I don't think the trucks have ever had an amplified antenna so you should be safe. Amplified antennas are typically the non-traditional ones- the "sharkfin" that is common on some cars now as well as the in-glass antennas that look like a goofy defroster grid.

crap i had that all in the origional post and pressed the back button for some reason.forgot to put it in when i rewrote it. its for the radio in my 2006 silverado with just the factory CD radio. not the bose one. Im going to try this because i dont need all the other junk like the ipod connector and the other audio inputs.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
