Pioneer AVH-X5500BHS in 2006 Silverado

A few questions for the experts on this forum. I have a 2006 Silverado with the Bose system. I purchased a Pioneer avh-x5500bhs and the gmos100 wiring kit through Crutchfield. I got the system wired up, but have a few issues that Crutchfield is going to take care of but I don't know if my other issues are part of the same problem.

 

My door chimes aren't working and the steering wheel controls aren't working. They said they will replace the gmos module and I shouldn't have to do anything with the wiring. They also told me that I could connect the factory XM module to this radio. They were right, but I have a small issue. When XM is on, I am supposed to get the information displayed on the DIC. This isn't working, so again, i believe this is the gmos module not functioning. Another issue with XM is the radio display. The Pioneer system has a 3.5mm jack for AUX and has RCA for AV-in. Crutchfield told me to connect the gmos100 AUX RCA jacks into the AV-in RCA jacks. This way I won't have to buy an RCA to 3.5mm adaptor. The problem is that the radio display keeps giving me the "driving while video is on" warning. Is there any way around this without using the video bypass? I may need to go purchase the RCA to 3.5mm adaptor.

 

I also need to figure out how to get HD radio working. There is a local station on 96.5 HD2 that I want to listen to, but the station numbers of 96.5 are giving the local talk radio and not the rock radio.

Sounds like they need to figure out what module you really need and stop fartin around.

Crutchfield replaced the GMOS100 module and I received it today. I hooked it up and before fitting the radio (very tight with all those wires) I tested the door chimes and steering wheel controls. I am happy to say that it worked. I buttoned everything up and tested the system again only to find out that the door chimes don't work again, the mute button doesn't work, the XM is supposed to display on the DIC and isn't, and I get a nasty hum only when XM is on. I did buy an adaptor to plug the XM RCA jacks into the 3.5mm stereo jack. XM sounds much better, but I still get the hum.

 

When I had XM connected to the AV jacks, I kept getting the "driving while video is on warning". I would also get that warning when I connected a USB to change the radio display. I decided to disconnect the light green wire that connects to the e-brake, and I rewired it not using the supplied wiring crimp. I can now change my background and I don't get that display pop up anymore. I'm thinking the GMOS100 is junk. Crutchfield has me trying a few things tonight to see if I can get it working correctly. If not, they will completely replace the wiring harness with something else. Unfortunately, I may lose my factory XM connection and rear seat entertainment with a replacement wiring harness.

      Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
