2012 Non-Bose radio woes...


Recommended Posts

Posted

So my 2012 has 157,000 miles. About 8 months ago, got in it to head to work one morning and no music out of the radio. I tried different stations, ota and XM, CD, no sound. Nothing. A little perplexed I head down the road. Turn on the blinker, no sound. About 5 minutes later, static and some alternator whine, then radio started playing. Did this 2 or 3x that week. Then, I notice no sound out of the rear speakers (crew cab). After a week of research turned up nothing so, I upgraded all the door speakers. Everything kidlnd of reset and started working... for 4 or 5 weeks. Then, started over..in 8 months I have blown three sets of speakers all rear. When it starts freaking out, the static blows the tweeter. My next plan is to upgrade the radio to a Dynavin unit and add backup camera. Has ANYONE had this issue before? Its literally driving me insane...I love music but I cant keep replacing speakers...even though I can do both in about 12 minutes now

Sounds like a radio issue. turn signals are controlled using the radio. They fail from time to time, the wine is the sound of the alternator working and  coming threw the speakers. I would recommend looking into the radio being the issue. GM had many sources for having this radio made, possibly a quality Kenwood or Alpine would be a quality replacement for the factory unit. 

Look at crutchfield if needing a replacement.

Dynavin would also work, I did an Eonon and it worked out great. Nice DVR and back up cam.

How did you like the Eonon unit? Did it work pretty well? I have factory XM radio I want to keep, along with Bluetooth

Takes a little getting used too, but over it is not bad for the price. I have had no issues other understanding the software.

    • Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?  
    • I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery. 
    • The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
    • Got heavy rain, hail and light rain yesterday. 
    • I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
