Topic: EMERGENCY! New Stereo Installation Attempt Gone Awry! RIGHT COLOR CODES NEEDED?

[cjwvalentine]

I just bought this new Kenwood head and did not feel like buying the non-existent harness thing to make it easier to install. I have a 4 hour car-ride back to college tomorrow and I thought I could get this done tonight.

I really need some help A.S.A.P.

I looked up the stereo color codes and the ones I found are so incorrect it's not even funny. There are literally at least 5 teal-colored wires, 2 brown, no yellow, and it's just ridiculous. If nobody can help me on here tonight I am going to try and call the local Chevrolet dealer or Best Buy tomorrow morning for some splinter of hope.

What's the build date on your Avy? (should find it in the door sticker) What stereo is in it and what color is the connector at the back of the radio?

[cjwvalentine]

07/01 is the build date, so it was one of the first built. The stereo is the normal CD player Theftlock Delco Electronics, where do I look for the name/model no.? (If you need it). The connector is black & white that's all really. Thanks!

Bose? Non Bose ?  I have diagrams pulled up on my computer at home. Unfortunately I just got to work and won't get back home until about 9am

[cjwvalentine]

Non-Bose. If I had Bose I wouldn't have to upgrade. My dad does in his dually. Not fair, haha.

If you or anyone else could get them to me as soon as possible I would greatly appreciate it. Tomorrow morning would be perfect. My brother and I are going to pull his stereo out of his '04 Silverado tomorrow, but I don't think they're the same colors.

Nope.. Mine was in my driveway on 7/1/01.... God I miss my 02.... But anyway letssee if we can help ya.. (Oh and by the way don't forget we have a GTG on Dec 19th in the NJ/NY area hope you can make it....) 

By Metra they say wire harness should be 70-1858 But I think it should be 70-2002 that plugs in to the factory amp behind the glove box or lower in the Pass side floor.. If I remember right..

He said his is NON-Bose. would it still have an amp? I figured you would know this stuff off the top of your head is why I sent that pm last night to make sure you would see this.

I think there is still a small amp behind the glove box Follow the wire harness...
