dang and u still had issues? thats exactly what i was afraid of, the reliability of them kits. how much did it cost?

 

I use the GMOS kit...i found it on ebay for 50 its normally 100...

And i never have had any issues with and and i have had 2 different brand headunits on it the last year and a half.

 

I used the PAC module with two different units as well and never had an issue.

 

Yup! Lucky me huh? I paid like $55 for it from Sonic.

That's the one I was going to get from the get go, but found the Scosche one for cheaper so I went that route. Maybe I'll get the GMOS one this time around, my buddy can get me one for pretty cheap

 

i allso heard that when you get that unit that the door chimes arnt as good as factory and that they sound cheezy and cheep. that true to?

 

I preferred the chime on the kit, it sounded cleaner and I could adjust to volume of it.

 

Hey great work i plan on doing something similar to my monte that i just purchased (my first car).

I do have a question however:

How did the scosche gm09sr work out for you any problems my dad seems to think it will me everything up in my car if i replace the factory deck?

Whats your opinion?

 

AHA! I'm glad I'm not the only who had to do that lol

 

Yeah, I wish I didn't have to do that but it doesn't seem to be a big deal cause my factory deck is back in there now and it's not a problem. Just sucks trying to get things done w/o the right tools......I had to use my Klein wire cutters to cut that out

 

It did it's job, got power to things that needed it and retained my chimes/warning messages. However, I started having lots of unexplainable/random/intermittent electrical issues shortly after the install. I don't know if it was due to the factory deck being out or a faulty interface harness but ever since my factory deck has been back in those problems have been non-existent. So this time around (last night) I relocated my factory deck using a BestKits BKA2004T but have run into another problem

The relocation went fine, but once I got everything all buttoned up I went to make sure everything powers up and what not and my P880PRS wouldn't come on. By this time it was already dark out so I let it be. I go out there this morning and pull the deck out and check for voltage at the deck harness.....I get full voltage on the yellow wire but nothing on the red one So it seems there is a problem on the relocation harness because the red wire on the deck harness is connected directly to the red wire on the relocation harness (soldered).

So I'm considering just running the red wire from the deck to a switched circuit in my fuse box so it gets power when the key is turned on.
