jsmoke222000 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 OK, quick question. 2005 chevt avalanche with bose. is the factory amp remote wire pink? where is wire located? on the harness which is unplugged from the factory radio or under the center console? I need the quickest way to get the factory amp on with a cheap generic harness! This dude brought me a broken data bus module & all I have is the generic harness. I know it is possible but I'm just wanting to know the quickest way. Jared Nixon A.K.A.

Derrick824 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 All I can tell you is the amp is located under the center console and the quickest way to it is to remove the eight or so screws for the box in the center console. Sorry but I have no clue which wires are which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmoke222000 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 Well I'm almost positive that the wire is pink. let me break down this situation: 05' avalanche w/ bose (no onstar) installing avic D3, 4 ga. amp kit, 2 pioneer shallow mount 10's, pioneer amp, metra kit GMOS-04 well I hooked up the metra kit & the craziest shit happened! The radio comes on with out the key in the ignition! I triple checked all wires. yellow to yellow & red to red. for some reason the 12 volt ign wire (red) is keeping 12 volts when the key is off! ( yes I opened & closed the doors 100 times!) Even stranger I get no sound out of the door speakers with the key on or off? I chaulked it up to a fucked up metra kit! you guys got any ideas or ever had this problem? Jared Nixon A.K.A.

Aaron813 Posted December 22, 2007 Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 You always could run the switched 12 volt wire from the cigarette lighter i had to do that before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmoke222000 Posted December 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2007 yes, but what would cause the red ignition wire coming out of the interface to keep constant 12 volts? the interface is getting hot when the radio is on. It has to be a bad interface module. Gonna go get a new one today. Jared Nixon A.K.A.

jsmoke222000 Posted December 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Well I solved the problem. I bypassed the factory amp altogether & ran my own ACC, 12+, & ground. everything works fine now. BTW, I bought a brand new data bus interface & had the same exact problem? Jared Nixon A.K.A.

Stephen Posted December 23, 2007 Report Share Posted December 23, 2007 Well I solved the problem. I bypassed the factory amp altogether & ran my own ACC, 12+, & ground. everything works fine now. BTW, I bought a brand new data bus interface & had the same exact problem? If you want to be able to keep your radio on untill the door is open you could use a couple relays. My dad wanted my to do this in his truck after i used the cheap harness you can cook bacon shirtless if you're not a pussy...lol not hatin, but am i wrong here it looks as if the amp is not grounded its hooked directly to the battery. it that the way it should be.
