Help With Ideas For Installing Headunit In 2000 Cavalier


Recommended Posts

ok, Now I understand.

You purchased a cheap $10 harness from Walmart instead of the expensive module. That is ok. The only thing you really gain by having the module is the factory chimes.

Anyway, the cheap harness you bought will work just fine with the exception of the red acc wire. Hook all other wires up between your radio & the harness you bought normally. Discard the red wire on the cheap harness you bought, it won't work. The GM data line will not power up that wire, that's what the module is for. To resolve that issue run a wire from your fuse box windshield wiper fuse to your radio & attatch yhat wire to the red wire going to your radio. everything should work just fine.

If you have any more trouble, post here & the car audio gods will again bail you out. Good luck.

ok, find the fuse for the wipers or a fuse that powers up with the keys turned on, remove the fuse, wrap a wire around one of the metal prongs on the fuse, plug the fuse back in, connect the other end of the wire to the red wire coming off of your radio.

Ok i thought it was something alittle more difficult like soldering to the backside of the fusepanel. Thats easy enough.

you should solder on to the fuse itself instead of just ramming wire in

theres no such thing as too expensive when it comes to upgrades like that, because imo if you are gonna spend to upgrade then do it correctly rather then be a cheap ass ricer

Soldering the connection would be much better but I assumed you probably didn't have the tools to do that. If you do, by all means, solder it.

I got the deck in and works fine but once i hit a certian volume the deck it shuts off and reboots. Any ideas with that? It seems once i turn the bass and tremble down it quites shutting off automatically. Is it drawing too much power? I have the power tapped into the wiper fuse until i solder later.
