New radio locked my car in park
So they passed a law in Illinois (go figure) about handsfree driving. I have a 2006 Monte Carlo SS. Doing the right thing, I went online and purchased a bluetooth Stereo receiver by JVC, wiring harness, steering wheel control harness/module and mounting bracket. I've installed dozens of stereos over the years. Basic stuff right? Wrong. After the install, the door chimes stopped working but I figured they went through the factory stereo so no biggy. Then I noticed the turn signals didn't make a sound anymore either. Ok, maybe the same thing right? Well then I went to drive the car and the car is stuck in park. The shifter was locked up. I had to push the park release button (inside the console) to get it in gear. After further research I found that I need to purchase a new/different harness that is $150 to integrate the ONstar, blinkers, door chimes etc. I don't have $150 left to put into this project but I have some basic wiring knowledge and a lot of patients. How can I bypass the onstar and park lock features (which i'm sure is engaged due to me having the factory radio out) without spending $150??? Help!
