I just did it to mine 2013 Camaro and it worked. I have been having problems with the dash lights blinking around the radio and recently it was popping. If it was on CD then it would come up with an error message. Playing radio after the pop the radio wouldn't play. AUX would play but at a lower volume mainly because I have installed the Kicker VSS system
How do you reinstall without breaking the two black "nail' shaped prongs coming out from the dash below the top clips about 4 inches.. it seems to me as though the bottom has to go in first due to the lack of clearance and those prongs don't really accomodate that?? never seen such a horrible design in all the cars I've changed radio's since the 90's
I just removed the wire from the harness and it worked!!! I didnt cut it because I'm not sure what it does but it doesnt matter since everything is working now
I don't know why this worked but I'd love someone to explain why it did. So far so good. I did notice something different when I put the key in. But that's it. Thanks $1100 at the dealer saved.
This works on the 2013 2LS, not sure about the 1LS or other models but it 100% works on the 2LS bc I just did mine and I’ve had no issues since, it’s just like new again.
jr Salazar you’re welcome! Mine was making loud popping noises and loud static, randomly..and sometimes wouldn’t work at all. It would spit out my cd as soon as I would cut the car on. It had also started affecting my climate controls, but it’s been so long I can’t remember exactly how, I just know it was driving me crazy and I had nothing to lose so I tried it, lol..and I’m glad I did bc it saved me a ton of money. The only issue I think it may have caused, and I’m not positive, I just know I never noticed it before I cut the wire..now when I turn on my rear defrost the radio doesn’t work, it just static’s. The CD player and USB still play fine with the rear defrost on, it’s just the radio that static’s.
I figured it out my ppl. Go to a junk yard or buy another receiver of ebay (the gray big box) you might need to get it program to your old face plate but sometimes the old receiver burns that out too. But I took it to a Chevy dealer to program it for my old face plate. Receiver =105 programing =89.95.
Hey Cory.. what exactly do I say when I call my dealer ? Mine is a legit Chevy dealer not a mom and pop. They wanted to charge me 180 just to diagnose, but if I "TELL" them what the issue is..or that I am requesting a reprogram they will do it????
everyone with a camaro radio problem check the drain hoses that run inside the top of the trunk. They come off and leak. They made my radio mess up somehow im almost positive thats what it is because it only happened when it was raining and now that ive fixed it there doesn't seem to be a problem at all. Try it before you start soldering shit
Did not work on our 2013. It was already previously cut and pinched back together. Radio still flashes. AC still works, no other issues with the wire cut. Flashers, locks, all. So, next step, purchasing a new radio base. Looking at prices.
Omg mine is doing the exact same thing right now plz tell me this works I have the same car a Camaro 2013 same radio doing the same thing shutting on and off
THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME, snipped the right wire and now my radio isn’t even on at all or turns on but is stuck on a Channel with no sound, TAKE IT TO A GEEK SQUAD OR SUM
Just tried this today on my 2014 Camaro (base model v6) and cutting the 18th wire (the last white one on bottom row ) didnt fix it. Luckily I didnt seem to "break" anything with this procedure either .. and now I know how to disassemble a radio wahoo. My ac and fan still work regardless but radio will still come and go as it pleases as it did before with the occasional "CD Error" I did however speak to a guy at my local repair shop and he said he has a Camaro that had same issue. Apparently there is a service "bulletin" on this online and he said the dealer fixed it for free for him Tips for the next person trying this: Maybe you will have more luck than I did. You can find cheap nylon pry tools at Harbor Freight . I got a set of 4 for $8 . And the socket size for the 2 screws under the panel is 9/32. Took about 30 mins
I have no sound coming from my radio. This guy obviously does, because his door dinger is making noise in the background. I am replacing with touch screen after market radio. Was told it could also be the amp being bad in the trunk. Will replace radio, then amp if need be. Touch screen with Android Auto or Apple Carplay is the way to go. Get rid of this outdated Chevy radio that has to be flashed at a dealer anyway, if replacing with a refurbished stock radio. They don't make new stock radios for this car.
@@martinsierra366.....exactly like its happening to me, i cut the wire last sunday but didnt do shit...Im really piss at GM, fucking garbage is what they build, Im going back to japanese cars, never have ro deal with this bullshit!!
This fixed my radio issue as well !

jr Salazar yes it’s still working, haven’t had a problem since, and it’s been almost two years.
@@janaj2748 thank you for replying . gnna have to try it on mine its starting to glitch really bad

@@janaj2748 ok thank you ill keep that in mind
Does anyone know if it's the same for the 2015 because my wiring harness looks different than the one on the video
Man I hope this white wire works for me my dad left on a trip and his Camaro has this problem and I wanted to fix it
Will it work for my 2015 Camaro RS?...

why are you pretending to cut the white wire when you can clearly see it was already cut???
I did on my camaro made things worse. Now no ac. Wats up w. This?
Did not work on our 2013. It was already previously cut and pinched back together. Radio still flashes.
AC still works, no other issues with the wire cut. Flashers, locks, all. So, next step, purchasing a new radio base. Looking at prices.
Does it deactivate onstar
The Fan (heat), hazards, everything but radio works. Radio doesn’t turn on, blank display. Tried cutting the white wire today and radio still off.
Same here. Try disconnecting the battery , maybe that will work I’ve heard it has for some .
Ok obvious question what does the white wire do? I have heard this problem is typically the radio. Would never cut a wire w/o knowing what its for..
Omg mine is doing the exact same thing right now plz tell me this works I have the same car a Camaro 2013 same radio doing the same thing shutting on and off
You sayd I’m going to cut the white wire and it was already cut off lol
04/14/19.... Had this done yesterday. Did not work😪 but it’s a chance I took. Have an appointment Monday to get a diagnostic 🤷🏻♀️
How did your appointment go?
My Camaro screen and light blink off and on and I did this and it didn’t work they’re still blinking and radio does turn on...AC still works so
did u fix it
Nope. I ended up just upgrading to a new audio system.
Does simply replacing the stereo helps? Or is it deeper than that
Deeper than that
@@v2s503 yes bro I got a Chevy camaro RS and u have to get a radio with screen that can blue tooth the ac functions I saw the price 😬😬😬😬
Some people say cut, some people say don’t, what do I do?
THE ACTUAL FIX IS A NEW SILVER BOX BEHIND THE FACEPLATE
It's 100000000000000000% radio oem radio module!!!!
JC Clark though I bought same exact oem radio from ebay and stopped all problems works great now for couple years no issues.
Did you have to have it programmed?
Cut the white wire now my radio won’t even come on at all but lights and heat work fine smh wtf
THIS DID NOT WORK FOR ME, snipped the right wire and now my radio isn’t even on at all or turns on but is stuck on a Channel with no sound,
TAKE IT TO A GEEK SQUAD OR SUM
Dose not work
Dang it .didn't work for me is still doing the same thing
mines either.. I'm looking to buy a radio during the holidays(black Friday sales).. That would be a good gift for your dad too..
@@AshEyeCandy thanks I would definitely buy
@@AshEyeCandy and how do you know that is for my dad?
Because I Know you.. 👀
Lol.. jk.. u said it in your other comment..

Works for 2015 Camaro LS
What was the main issue with the radio 15 camaro ls, did sound cut off and pop. Then the radio Turns on again?
