Installing New Stereo

Hello everyone, new here.

I have a slight dilema in my installing of a new radio.

 

Brief description: I have a 2005 Yukon Denali that has xm radio, am/fm radio, and navigation touch screen. The vehicle came with a 6-disc cd changer at the bottom of the console. The cd changer never worked when I bought it and the dealership was giving me a hard time in replacing it. So I bought a new stereo (VRCD500-SDU) that can play cd's, ipod input, usb input, and sd card input. I took the old cd changer out and there was 6 cd's stuck in there. Now when I was trying to hook up my new stereo to the wiring in my vehicle, the wires weren't matching up. I got a wire diagram off of google: http://home.bak.rr.com/homeindex/changer.JPG which seems to match up with the one in my vehicle. I got the new stereo to turn on, but my vehicle is not recognizing it, meaning I can't get anything to play from my new stereo to my speakers. I can't even switch over to it. Can anyone help me, maybe I hooked the wrong wires together?

 

The wiring for my truck according to the website above says I only have one left and right speaker wire, but my new stereo came with 2 wires (+, -) for each speaker (RF, LF, RR, LR). My stereo also came with a wire for my fuse and one for the ignition. I had to connect both wires to the power volt wire for my vehicle to get it to work. I don't know which wire to hook up to the amplifier remote/power antenna wire in my stereo? And which of my speaker wires do I connect to the speaker wires in my vehicle (+)? or (-)? I also have a remote playback audio signal wire in my truck, which wire on my stereo do I connect it to? Could anyone help? I am desperately trying to get this hooked up this weekend.

The link you posted seems to be for the wiring going from your factory stereo to the 6 disk changer although I do believe the speaker wires are as follows: RF+(DK GRN), RF-(LT GRN), LF+(TAN), LF-(GRY), RR+(DK BLUE), RR-(LT BLUE), LR+(BRN), LR-(YEL). If you haven't cut off the factory connector you might consider something like the Scosche GM09SR to make the job much easier.

We really need to know whether you have Bose or OnStar.

 

I agree with bossier62guy. You need to get a wiring harness (we help you with that as soon as we know if you have Bose or OnStar) so you don't have to cut the factory wiring.

Don't all 05 YD's have Bose??? I think this is his problem. He needs the adapter so he can use a non-OE radio with the Bose amp/speakers.

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
