Replacing Stock Stereo W/ Jvc

[Misawan]

I have an 04 that has the stock CD/Cassette stereo. My wife got me a JVC unit to install in my truck. I can't find the right wiring harness I need to install this. Someone told me that the alarm and door chimes go through the factory radio so I might not be able to put this in. Am I stuck with what I got? Is buying a different head unit from GM the only thing that will keep all my current features working?

You might need something like this: GM Factory Integration Adapter at Crutchfield. Or give Crutchfield a call and see what the experts say?

Thanks, I did just that and found what I was looking for.

Walmart now sells one made by Scoshe for 38 bucks. It will allow you to install a stereo in any 2003 on up. It includes the harness and the chime module that you need.

I ended up getting the SCOSCHE wiring kit from Walmart. For $38 vice $80 for the other unit online. The only down side of this is I wish they made the lead to the chime box a little longer to give me more options with the install. Other than that minor detail it works like a champ. Now I can finally enjoy my XM without RF interference on every frequency.
