How do u keep the radio powerd up while disconnecting it so u wouldnt have to reprogram it. i mean i have a system in my car already i just want somthing better.

 

It doesn't matter, just make sure the theft-lock is dis-abled. Factory radio is just an access to your computer, it's not the computer itself.

 

see i thought of the remote mount. but could not find one while in Germany for less then 200.00 for the cabels and then they wanted a 100.00 to install and they would not sell it out right .

 

ya i think it was going to be around 100 for that harness. but thanks for the info

 

My T-harness for the remote mount - $37, $50 for the installation, which I think was high, but that's what it was.
Steering wheel adapter - $90, $40 labor
Onstar module - $100, $100 labor. NOTE: this was the worst part of the install, getting this to work right.
I got $720 labor in this install, but I had lots of problems with the guy that did the install in my '01, and this system is more than just a radio, with the 2nd battery, power inverter, XM + Sirius, amp, etc.

 

Ya, i dont think i want to pay someone to do that job seems costly. i can wire all the stuff by myself, cause i called some stores that deall with car audio and was telling me i need two different harness. i just wanted to know if anybody had something that they did different.

 

They tried different, but couldn't get different to work. And there is a lot of wire in my car. 2 bat's, 110v in front, 12 & 110v & RCA inputs in trunk, 6ch stereo, and remote factory radio. It's wired for the next system, but I had most of this from the '01.

 

Thats cool maybe ill stick to the stock cd player my system sounds ok with it, i want to spend the money on some rims, and a HID hit.

 

i dont have the T connector in mine i actually just have the harness adaptor in my car, witch means i have lost my door chime and also the ability to use the radio to reset some things.
But i still have the stereo here so if i need or want to ever go back to it i can with out a issue.

But you cna install a stereo in the car with out the remote mount harness. So if you want a after market head unit it can be done. What were talking about is keeping all of the functions in the car that the stock radio controlls.

I have the steering wheel controlls on my car but i actually never use them i have a remote for my stereo. So what good was the harness?
i dont miss the door chime at all.
and as far as the oil minder i can reset it with out the radio and i can plug the stereo in if i need to do other things that bad. But afte rit being apart of the car for this long with out a issue i dont see that having to happen very often at all

 

but i herd u would have to go to a dealer to reprogram the radio once u diconnect it.
