I have different components, but have the same end results with the NAV-TV. I changed the amplifier turn on to "DC Offset" instead of relying on the NAV-TV remote wire. It almost seems like the blue remote wire is losing voltage which is causing the amp to shut off. Granted it has only been a day since I changed to DC Offset but so far seems to be working. Probably will make a fool out of me tomorrow, hehe.

 

It drives me up the wall that I spent $600 for a device that works intermittently, and has non-existent support resources.

Any update from NavTv yet?

I fiber glassed my own enclosure for the AT4. I learned a lot of useful information if anyone else decides to glass a box in the new series of trucks. I've included a list of materials, goals, lessons

Ron,   You are correct. The Bose amp is behind the rear seat and that is where you will connect for the AT4 and the Denali. The non Bose system connection is at the firewall (you will not us

The Bose system does not sound good in the 2019s.  For the average listner they will be fine I guess but definitely not what I'd call good.  Not that any bose system is great persay but it's disappoin

Negative.

So I have checked with PAC Audio and they don’t have an Amp Pro for these yet. I got 2 different answers., 1 nothing in the works and 2 should be 1st half of this year.

 

So are there any differences in the Zen Audio and the Amp Pro?

Maybe someone was referencing the custom T-Harness from LLJCustoms? (https://lljcustoms.com/store?olsPage=products%2F2014-2019-gm-bose-amp-t-harness)

 

For Bose systems you could use either t-harness or the Nav-TV Zen AVB-GM (NTV-KIT955), wouldn't need both.

Yes, I have one of there T-harnesses from my previous 15 Yukon and it works good for adding a sub. Currently I have a 19 HC and really want to “Un Bose” and get a good clean flat signal. I have not figured out how to turn off the “speed regulated volume” on this one. Always seems counterintuitive for the volume to go up with speed and then the bass rolls off with that, really annoying.

Hey guys, just signed up on this site and have some questions about the Nav TV units.

 

I've got a '20 Sierra 1500 crew with the 7 speaker Bose system, and while louder than the base system, it still seems flat sounding compared to an aftermarket system. My plan is to replace the dash & door speakers, add a couple subs under the rear seat, all run by a 5 channel amp.

 

I was originally going to go the LLJ Customs route but my installer pushed for the Nav TV and I came to agree with him. However I'm wondering how you guys who've installed one of these units have wired your speakers to the amp. It doesn't look like the Nav TV unit includes a harness for the speakers.

 

So my question is, are you running new speaker wiring or are you using the factory wiring? If you're using the factory wiring, is there a speaker harness available elsewhere or do you have to tap/splice into the factory wiring? I'm hoping this time around not to have to cut/splice any wiring (that's what they did on my '16 Silverado non Bose system). Any help is appreciated.

Looking to do the same thing on my 19 High Country. I was looking at PAC Audio and think they have a GM harness that might be plug and play with a little modification to use the existing factory speaker wires. Anyone have experience with these harnesses?

A few pages back someone mentioned to contact 1pocket73@sbcglobal.net to get a wiring harness to install an aftermarket amplifier in a non-Bose system. Is that email still valid? It keeps getting kicked back when I try it.

I ended up emailing him and he said he does do speaker harnesses (only the speaker part if you want) and it was around $66 for the Bose speaker harnesses. 

 

I had originally went with LLJ Customs, but they appear to only do loopback and T-harnesses, which is more than I need and costs more too. That and the fact that getting ahold of them is like pulling teeth. They say 48hrs to receive a reply, but in many cases it's more like a week, sometimes more. And that doesn't seem to change whether it's emailing or texting. I recently sent them a request to cancel my order Monday and it's Thursday and nothing. I don't want to order from the other guy if LLJ refuses to cancel my order, but it's getting to the point I'm going to have to risk it. It just seems ridiculous because they say they don't have anyone manning the phone number they list on their website, but they will accept text messages to that number, which means they have someone manning that number. It's a shake because it seems like they make quality gear, but bad communications can sink a company whether they do quality work or not.

 

As far as your email getting bounced back, I don't know what to tell you. Mine went through ok, maybe you had a typo in the address?

I will. Thanks!

I would recommend sticking with John (the email address is correct as you typed it), over LLJ Customs. Way better communication. He made a harness for me with the non-Bose but I am actually going to go a different direction then adding a sub only which is what I had him make for me. If you want, I can sell you my harness that I bought that is ready to go for adding an amp to a non-bose system (teal and almond connectors) with 13 ft of leads. I can e-mail you pictures if needed, just DM me

I would like to thank you guys on this thread that have given me good reviews(I'm John-1pocket). I'm very humbled by your comments and am extremely grateful that you've given me a chance to help you out.

 

My preferred contact email is [email protected] but if you are having issues with that address then try [email protected]

 

I know in the past you've read some guys say they've received their order very quickly and sometimes that was the case.However,in recent months my business has really grown and I'm typically not able to deliver so quickly.I don't scratch people's ears,I tell them the truth as I work a full time job(50+ hours a week) and do this harness business on the side so sometimes things can get a bit backed up.But know this,when you order a harness from me you will always get an honest lead time.

 

Feel free to ask me any questions here and I'll do my best to answer so that it may benefit the whole group.

      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.
