Review on ๐Ÿ“ป Metra 70-1858 Radio Wiring Harness: Ideal GM 88-05 Harness Solution by Maurice Stavros

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Doesn't work, but here's how to fix it on a 2002 Chevy Avalanche

I matched the cable colors to my Pioneer 8700 (it took 5 minutes to use 3M gel connectors!). I removed my old deck and this wiring harness connected directly to it. The deck turned on and connected normally except I had NO sound from the speakers (the sub worked on RCA). I was sure the speaker wires were wrong so I double checked the circuit. Everything was properly connected. After many hours of research I found that the blue wire with white stripe (amp on) from the new deck needed to be connected to the pink wire from the now disconnected wiring harness that was previously attached to the back of the deck. works deck. This sends a signal to the truck's amplifier to turn on and turn on the door speakers. Welcome back!

Pros
  • For 1988 to present GM models
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
