While I'm looking into some wrecked lux SUVs I'm wondering if I can use the amp wiring harness instead of splicing into mine. Would I be correct in assuming that a lux 2003-2005 will swap into my Silverado w/UC6 for use in a future nav/6-disk upgrade with lux amp?

That will work if your getting the full harness, It will not work if you are just getting the console harness that goes to the amp, cdx, and the other console items like the cig. lighter, power outlet, and the rear seat controls

 

You don't really have to "splice into your harness" you just remove the wires from the amp connector and replace them back into the same connector but in a different position. You will have to add one wire from the headunit to the amp.

I will try to post the needed schematics for this swap.

Here is the wires that need to be moved in the 24 pin connector to go from a non-lux amp to a lux amp.

A1 - do nothing

A2 - do nothing

A5 - move to A4 (brown wire)

A6 - move to A3 (yellow)

A7 - move to A8 (dark blue)

A8 - move to A7 (light blue)

A9 - move to A5 (tan)

A10 - move to A6 (gray)

A11 - move to A9 (light green)

A12 - move to A10 (dark green)

B1 - cap off, not used (gray/black)

B2 - cap off, not used (purple)

B3 - cap off, not used (black)

B4 - cap off, not used (dark blue)

B5 - cap off, not used (dark green/white)

B6 - cap off, not used (brown)

B7 - move to B3 (orange/black)

B8 - move to B6 (light green)

B9 - move to B4 (dark green)

B10 - move to B5 (tan)

B11 - cap off, not used (pink)

B12 - move to B7 (bare wire)

Add data bus wire from B1 (small orange wire) on the headunit 24 pin connector to B10

Add microphone wire to B1 (optional, but recommended for the sound compensated volume to work)

Your welocme, but I must say that everthing I learned about this came from Linda, Sperry, poonis, and a few others.

I'm just glad I can help by passing on the info.

In that case...Changing a complete harness would most likely be a harder task than making the wiring mods. I'll do the mods...

 

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

 

Yes, the mods are alot easier to do than changing the complete harness.

Could you make a tutorial that walks people thru the conversion? List parts needed…. Then you could have a sticky post so everyone could view. I personal want to start but I am unsure of everything I need.

Were would you put a CD changer in a 2004 Envoy XUV?

 

Thanks

Witch conversion do you want to do?

 

non-lux nav install (easiest)

non-lux nav install with CDX

lux nav install with lux amp swap (alot harder on the Envoys)

 

do you currently have a slave device (I.E. XM, Onstar, RSA, or RSE)

 

There is no place to mount the factory style indash CDX on the Envoy and Trailblazer, you would have to make a custom install somewhere (console, glove box, etc.) or use a cartridge style changer and mount it under the seat or in the back

I want to add the non-lux with the CD player. The dealer told me that my Envoy had XM but it did not. I do have Onstar, Rear controls, and wheel controls. If the cd player would fit I would put it in my console.

 

Can you help me out with what I need? I see a non-Lux on ebay….

 

Thanks

The non-lux will be plug and play, if you get a used one the unit will have to be programmed with a Tech II at any GM dealership. A new one will not need any programming. You must also get a GPS antenna for it. Any GM GPS antenna will work but you may have to custom mount it under the dash pad.

 

There is one wire that should be added to the 12 pin connector on the headunit and you pick that wire up behind the gauge cluster, it is the VSS wire (vehicle speed signal). this added wire is optional but will make the nav tracking a little smoother on the display.

 

I'm not sure if the indash changer can be mounted in any other position other than horizontal or a few degrees off. I have never tried one in a verticle position.

 

JP customs has a new cartridge style changer for the 03's and up that you can mount anywhere and it still works the same as the indash one.

It is $300

 

XM is a separate receiver and is not built into any of the headunits. The headunits have the ability to control the XM tuner if you had it or add it.

what you will need for a non-lux setup is:

nav HU #15108421 (INR)

or

nav HU #10377287 (TNR)

antenna #15135178

CDX harness #15312903

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By Silver Yeti · Posted

      That's interesting.   There was a factory wire-hole in the back, top of the rear cab, which had a wire for the third brakelight assembly running through it, as well as several holes (10 of them I believe) for all of the studs coming off of the 3rd brakelight assembly itself.   I sealed all of those holes with RTV/silicone as well.   I found it kind of odd, that none of those holes, were sealed with any kind of sealant by the factory - if there was any there, it wasn't very much.   That said, I've been out in heavy rain and have ran the truck through high-pressure car-washes a few times now and she has been 100% water-tight to this point.   I feel very confident in the repair, we'll see how it holds up.

      2024 Silverado 2500 HD with the 6.6 Gas (L8T) Engine

      By Jay-22-2500 · Posted

      I bought a used 2022 2500hd with 6.6L in February. In March took a 2200 mile trip towing our 6500 lb trailer. Changed the oil day before leaving and when we were arriving at our 1st destination, low oil light came on (roughly 1000 miles) it was 2 qts low. Now it towed like a dream, no issue there, and we did go through the mountains of TN, but still, 2 qts! Luckily I did purchase an extended warranty. Brought it to the dealership in April, oil change and consumption test. Brought it back last week, 1300 miles, no towing, and no oil showing on the dipstick. GM is reccomending a new engine (cheaper than them rebuilding), we'll see if the warranty company comes through.
