well, got everything I need. Guess I'm going to install tomorrow. Still not really sure about the volume setting before removal and the VSS wire. Will keep reading, but if anyone wants to just blurt out the info, that would be fine too :cheers:

everything went fine. I had a tough time with the dash, but I was able to get the antenna in anyways. I didn't yet hook up the vss. I'll do that at a later time, and I didn't have any wire :cheers:

 

I bought the radio on ebay for cheap, it said refurb, but it looked brand new. It didn't have a sticker on the side, but it works 100% perfect. I cranked the volume up 1/2 and when I turned the new one on, it was loud! Door chimes are fairly loud too, but I don't think it'll be a problem. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...item=8023967718

 

 

I guess I'll read up more on the vss wire, unless someone wants to suggest how to plug the wire into the harness. Is there an end piece you can put on the wire to make it just plug in?

 

thanks a million for all the great info! I saved what, 1200 bux by doing it myself? I think the option was 2500, and I have $625 in it right now. Of course, I need to buy a v4 dvd, so that'll put me at $825

Okay, I have been reading this for two days trying to figure out if I can reconfigure my wifes Non Bose Non Nav 2004 Impala into an Non Lux Bose with the matching head unit. I know that this will not be easy but from all of the information on this site, I know it can be done. I have Onstar and the premium sound system upgrade for that vehicle and have purchased everything I need to this point.

 

I am bit jittery at this point and would like for someone to provide the wiring schematic that is going around that provides the Non Lux to Lux pin swap but provide the wire colors also. I'm thinking that if I have the wiring diagrams for the impala I can simply swap the pins to the correct location on the Non Lux pin swap diagram????

 

Please help...In Houston Texas and willing to compensate for the proper direction!

Hi,

 

I just installed a Navigation Radio (#15204334 ) in my Sierra Denali 2004 (Y91 option). Had the VIN relearn procedure done with the Tech2 AND the Amp recalibration.

Now I have a really strange problem :

1- If I turn the key to Accessories (or ignition), the radio works fine.

 

2- As soon as I start the engine, I completely loose the sound (everything else works fine though)

 

3- When that happens, if I shut the engine and put the key back to Accessories, I do not get the sound back. The only way is to turn the key off and wait for about one minute then it goes back to the state mentioned at line #1. (if I do not wait the one minute, it doesn't work)

 

4- Now, if (at state mentioned at line 1) I turn the key really quickly to start the engine, kind of bypassing Accessories and Ignition, then the radio works fine with the engine running.

 

5- The other way of getting it to work while the engine is running is to remote-start it. Then when I turn the key to ignition the sound keeps on working.

 

One detail : when I turn the key on, there is a unusual loud (short) click sound coming out of the speakers.

 

Anybody has an idea?

:mad: I just completed the lux conversion this morning.  Everything went fine, the only problem is that my driver side and rear speakers have no sound, only the front passenger side.  All else is good, steering wheel controls etc....  Has any one else had this problem.  The vehicle is a 2005 Chevy Crew Cab, 1500.  I am going to check to see if i pluged in the proper wires for the outputs, that is all i can think of right now.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. :(

 

 

 

 

I just did the upgrade and I too have the same problem...its killing me...I have checked all my outputs and have double checked against the diagrams from this post...everything works lovely but only having 1 speaker is killing me..I hope that you solved this problem and would share with me....

 

thx

It sounds like you need to program the amp. Where did you get the amp? If it's new, you will only get sound out of the front passenger speaker.

Hmmm....I bought it on Ebay. I was told itwas pulled from a 2004 denali for an after market install.....at least I have a starting point. I will need to look through this thread and find the steps for programming the amp.....is there anything I need to be aware of when I visit the dealer.( which was really cool about the tech2 procedure..even though he could not believe I had hooked the system up myself..LOL

p.s. thanks for the quick response...I have been hiding my truck from my wife until I finish this mod.....so I have been riding in her Jetta all weekend....Its like riding in a Yugo with a spoiler kit......need my sounds back.....LOL

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
