Hello i am doing a small build on my 2016 Colorado LT non bose unit 8 inch screen IO5 model all i want to do is add an Kenwood amp XR401-4 and Kenwood  KFC-XP6902C in the front door and
dash corners and in the rear Kenwood Excelon X174 i am keeping the original head unit i do not want to cut the wiring harness  what i am looking for is a  amp pass harness if there is one i will need the part number so i can buy the harness


( or just the male / female molex plug with wires or not and build it myself i will need the part number so i can buy it )


if not then solution number 2  i will keep my factory amp hooked up and working  i will separate the male / female molex plug from the stock amp and use the (male plug with wires from the amp pass harness i will need the part number so i can buy it )

and send those wires from the male plug in the stock amp  and send its speaker wires from the factory amp to the  LC7i   which can receives high power audio signal from the stock amp and converts it to  RCA output then the RCA output from lc7i to the rca input of the Kenwood amp then the speaker wire output from the Kenwood amp goes back up to dash with the female molex plug from the Kenwood amp to hook up with the male molex plug from the truck original plug to the new speakers. .

Sorry if this email is very long but i do not want to start a project and not Finnish it the same day because of who knows what this is my daily driver i want to be as informed as possible .
Thank you

    • Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!  
    • From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

    • True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel. 
    • I'm sure if you went to a junkyard where you go in and pull the part off the truck yourself, not a used part place where they do it for you, you can get that part on it's own.  Depending on if and what else you would be buying, and time of day, they might even just skip over adding it as a item to the bill.
