Topic: 02 w/ On*, HU install?

[em ekohc]

I've got an 02 Z71 with On*, I know that the on* is analog and no way to adapt to digital to make it work but I want to instal an aftermarket HU. If I don't get the on* adapter will my chimes and what not still work? So can I get by with just dash kit, Ant. adapt, and wire harness?

  Mine's an '04 but stick around a little bit. I know there's members who have done what you're looking for that will chime in shortly.

Are you sure you cant make it digital. I spoke to the Chevy Dealer out by me because I have an 02 as well and they told me that they can change the ON* box to a digital one for about 250. I know that they said they could do it with out many problems. I am debating having them convert mine so that I can add the On* back onto my truck. Just havent had the time to do it.

What HU are you going with and where are you going to buy it?  You should get a wiring harness to connect the aftermarket HU to the factory wiring.  I just recently installed a new HU in my 02!!  I'm still in the process of installing new speaker wire and new speakers, I have also installed a new Alpine amp!!!!!
Let me know what else I can do to help.

Yeah I went on their website and entered my VIN and it gave a whole explanation and pretty much said "sorry your s@#*s not gonna work anymore" they did say you could adapt the 03-04s but not the 02s(not sure why not) Now if you could retrofit a unit from a later model I dont know?



As far as the HU i've got an Alpine ida-x303 out of my S2k, and yeah ive got a harness and Ant adapter just didnt want to buy the ON* adapter if i didnt need it

I'm pretty sure you're screwed on the onstar part. I read somewhere about the '03+ that uses the class2 databus for everything couldn't be converted for an 02. Or should I say an '02 can't be converted up.
