Where is the factory radio on a Chevy Tahoe?

Where is the factory radio on a Chevy Tahoe?

The remote antenne is hooked up to the remote wire on the harness, but nothin’. Now there is the main harness input on the factory radio, and there is another 10 or so pin harness that also attatches to the back of the factory radio.

Why is there no sound from the aftermarket stereo?

Power comes on and everything seems to work on the HU, but there is no sound. I searched around the web for anyone that might have the same problem but came up with only a few similar questions. the understanding i have is that the factory amplifier will conflict with the preamp built into the aftermarket stereo. but how do you bypass the preamp?

What is 10 pin harness on Chevy Tahoe?

That “10 pin” harness is your aux features like the Xm radio ,onstar, DVD player , ETc. etc.. you should pull out your harness and re-verify that you are tapped into the speakers from your HU to the truck. Sometimes I have noticed if you use a harness thats non onstar with an onstar system the wiring is different.

How can I tell if my Chevy Tahoe has a 9v battery?

In case you don’t know the 9v test, you take a 9v battery and touch 2 leads to the terminals. This will cause the speaker to make an audible pop. Once you hear the pop you will want to look at the speaker that made the noise to see what direction it pops.
