get a used car harness from car-parts.com (wreckers)
I would suggest you spice the wires back to stock harness by male and female connections and tape over them with black tape then get a stereo install kit that includes a wiring harness ( cost about $20 maybe or less) for the year of truck you have... it will plug right to your stock harness ...never just cut stock stereo wires from stock plug it will be more of a headache than you think trust me I've installed all my own stereo system been there done that... good luck
either your connectors need cleaning or maybe a break in the wiring. Is there on spot where both wires come together if so check there.If there is any plugs, pull them apart and clean them with contact cleaner
Once you remove the screws to the console panel and remove console, you will see 4 scews that hold the stereo in tact, remove them, pull stereo, disconnect wiring harness and antennae. If you need a wiring diagram you can go to 12volt dot com or installer dot come. I suggest using the quick connect wiring harness adapter
There is no remote wire on these newer trucks....03 and up....u have to buy the harness....although i didnt....i have an 03 gmc sierra and just pulled the schematic and matched the wires. And there is no programming to do on an aftermarket stereo.....I work for GMC and we cant program aftermarket stereos......if u buy the right harness ...and its over $100 then everything should work just fine.....and this does not disarm ur alarm system either....mine still works fine....hope this helps
You have to unplug the old radio. The radio isn't the part in the dash. That is just the control to the radio. The radio is actually under the dash above the accelerator pedal. It should have the power wires, speaker wires and antenna wire going to it.
Yes u do....I have an 03 sierra and apparently they changed everything in 03.....the harness is over $100.....but u need it....and they dont sell a reg wiring kit from 03 and up....if it was an 02, then yes u could get away cheap......it has to do with the steering wheel switches
HI there... It would be a wise idea to get the special wiring harness for you aftermarket radio. There are several reasons for this. 1 is that it will make your installation a lot easier because it will plug right in to the factory plug and all you have to do is wire the radio to the wires on the new plug.
2) the newer vehicles have the radios wired for lights when you turn your headlights on. aftermarket radios don't always have that. also your stock radio probably stays on when you turn your ignition off and goes off when you open a door. the aftermarket radio is not set up for this and could cause electrical problems if not hooked up. to avoid any nasty electrical headaches I would advise getting that special plug. Hope this helps you out
