Hi guys
I bought a new head unit expecting to have it installed in a few minutes. I've installed dozens of these things in the past without issue but poking around online has led me to believe that these GMs are wonky...
2006 avalanche base
I've followed the wiring diagram to wire acc power to acc power, ground to ground, and lined up the speaker leads but im not getting any power at the head unit.
I keep reading about an amp that may or may not exist, hundreds of dollars worth of adapters, etc. I just want some help ?
I do not have bose as far as I can tell, no bose logos on the speaker covers. I do have onstar but couldn't care less whether it's functionality is retained.
I would like to utilize the steering wheel controls but my priority is on powering this thing.
I can't figure out what to do with the following lines in the aftermarket harness
Yellow, 12v constant. Probably just gonna run a line to the fuse box and find my own constant as none seem to exist behind the factory radio.
Blue/black, remote turn on. Tried wiring this to the 12v acc power but that didn't work, where are people putting this?
Blue, antenna b+ (is this just for cars with powered antennas?)
Orange/black, illumination (no clue what that is... Or where to put it)
And the swc lines (swc1, swc2, and swc grouns) I imagine ill need some kind of adapter to get steering wheel control functionality and this isn't the issue today.
Any advice?
