You are my savior. Just bought an 05 and the radio harness was cobbled together by the previous owner.
Glad to help
I've never seen an Escalade without the full screen Nav unit. I have an 2004 Escalade. Fantastic video brother.
Hey man, I just want to thank you for putting up this video. I watched the wiring harness video and then this video. I did it step-by-step and let me tell you it worked beautifully. I didn’t find the exact harness because they weren’t making them anymore. It was discontinued but I got a similar one that came with some other tabs that I didn’t use so I just put them away but everything else was spot on. I don’t know what I would’ve done with out this video. I just saved myself hundreds of dollars. I was gonna take the radio to a radio shop, but I came across your video. I bought every single item that you listed. Thank you so much again this was very helpful.
Hello I just installed a new head unit in my 2003 Escalade. The sound is absolute garbage for me. The factory amplifier doesn’t even kick on for me. Music sounds flat. What harness did you use ? I suspect a bad harnsss
What harness did you get since I’m looking into getting something for my Denali
@@dtg6162 you can use one of these two:
Axxess AXGM-014 For Select GM
2000-2013 Class-2 Data Interface
Or
Axxess AXDIS-CL2 For Select GM
Data Interface with SWC 2000-2013
I’ve watched this video so many times along with the wiring video just waiting till I find the right tool to cut the plastic out to do it to my avalanche. I’m sure I’ll watch these videos 100 more times 😂 I already have everything just need a cutter!
so glad to be of help
This was a very big help Dad & Daughter. Thank you very much. I have to add my backup camera to the tailgate so wish me luck. 😂
Best of luck!
Nice that your pops hook you up and putting your new radio in. Daughter and Father Time I like that. If you need any lights or upgrade on your Escalade just hit me up
I dead ass droped my phone when he tossed the radio out the door and my screen cracked 😂
now that's funny right there!
I love this video. Thank you so much for the help! Great father/daughter time.
You are so welcome!
Thanks Bro.... Loved the smile she had on her face .... she was definitely Thrilled....
Great job Steve. I love when you call the different harnesses and parts, "guys"..LOL. This guy goes here into that guy. LOLOL
Thanks, great video. Good teaching.
I guess it would have been silly to TAPE up the aftermarket harness to make for a clean installation.
Good video.
I’m going to do this exact same for my 2004 Tahoe with Bose and sw controls thanks
You and your fam are a hoot. Love it. Your doing all the projects I want to do. This all looks a little less scary once you've seen it. Steering wheel controls and aything. I got the same Bose stuff so will look forward to your replacement vid on that.
thanks for the kind comments, good luck with yours and keep us posted on your progress!
hi my friend
I put in my car a 9-inch smart screen
. But I noticed that all the voice warnings disappeared, for example the voice warning that comes when the seat belt is not fastened when driving, and the sound of the warning when the speed exceeds 120
Why did the voice warnings disappear?
So I need more than just the radio? I need to by the steering controller as well all that stuff or t needed to be replaced? Getting ready to put new radio in my Escalade just trying see what route I have to go don’t want be stuck with n middle having to run to the store buy something
Anybody know if this will hook up to the dvd players in some model of the esv?
Shows this part as unavailable. Axxess AXGM-04 AXGM-04 Data Interface for Select GM 2000 Through 2013 Vehicles
Any idea on what to replace it with?
Sad I literally cannot find the parts to do this out of stock everywhere I have crux stuff in trying to do it with but now the plug isn’t matching up I’m so confused
Hey Steve great video thanks a lot with the wiring video as well. however I have a problem with the sound. When I connected to the vehicle the overall volume is not as loud as the stock one was as well as at high volume the speaker start to distort
Same here!!!
@@Gwartonium we’re you able to figure it out
A lot of time the Bose does sound as well with the aftermarket Stereo because they have amplifiers normally what people do is change the factory speakers
Thank you..i looked and nothing about the bose system and amp already built in withe the bose system...and needing the correct inter face wire
Fine excuse me I have a question where where you buy the harness for the stereo thanks nice video
Hey Steve I have a very similar yet wildly different scenario on my hands. I’m at a stand still and could use some help. If you’d be able to give me a call or something I’d appreciate it a lot. Thanks, you the man!
I am wondering what pioneer receiver should I get and what parts would I need to install in my2004 Cadillac escalade ext.
Whats the second smaller plug you plugged in from vehicle harness?
So I have this 2003 Chevy 1500 but I decided to change the steering wheel with the same one like yours buts it’s the Chevy version with the buttons but idk what to add like to make the buttons work any help
I needed one for my Cadillac Escalade the same one
Hi just finished connecting all the wires and to the car too turn it on and I'm getting in my screen camera no video signal what can I do
Poor lady has to laugh at this guy's jokes.
My Sirius satellite radio is still on with the radio.. do you know which wire to disconnect it?
What kind of mean whenever the radio doesn’t turn off when I open the door but the factory onedid
Just installed a pioneer double din, and i know i hooked all the speaker wires up correctly. I am not getting any sound
I cannot seem to find the correct interface or trim kit for my 2020 Nissan Rogue SV (without Bose). Can you help?
Please let me know if this car stereo can be put in a 2002 cadillac escalade ext
I have a 2004 cadillac escalade ext. I am wanting to put a pioneer 6.8 receiver, and 2 8" subwoofers from skar audio!
No idea if you'll even see this but I just installed a Pioneer DMH 2660 NEX in my 2004 Cadillac Escalade and the audio quality for Bluetooth is horrible! It sounds good when its quiet but when I turn it up the speakers crackle and sound bad. I dont think I installed it wrong but what gives?!
Can all this exact equipment work for a 2004 Escalade? Also the Bluetooth only works if USB is plugged into phone correct? Best installation, explanation with patience and good work on UA-cam so far. Keep up the good work and teaching your children that "It can be done". Stay blessed.
A great way to find out is plug in your year make model at Crutchfield and see if it will work.
I cannot find this harness anywhere...the AXGM-04. Any alternatives that accomplishes the same?
That 106.1 was bumpin
Please I need to know!!! Will the kenwood 9907xr fit this gen Escalade 😭😭😭😭 and if so, is it about the same process? Thanks you so much for the detailed video. You got a new sub!
Curious. What pocket you used to cover the old cd changers opening? I made the same upgrades you made. I just haven’t purchased a pocket for cd changer opening.
i thought the one i got for my tahoe would work but it did not . still looking.
Use the cage from the center changer. The guts all come out easily and the cage is metal so it won't melt and flex in the heat
Did your come with the PS2? If so how do you power it on screen?
the stock bose system has the audio pilot mic that is near your right knee on the console. Does that still work. It lowers and raises the sound from noise it picks up. also the the rear seat controls still work?
any input?
Great video! Can you talk through bluetooth microphone with this screen?
Not tryin to be all nitpicky, but that dash kit doesn't look like its centered in the dash very well with the stereo in it, but maybe its just me. Also, why not use the PAC RP5-GM11?
Connect mine but it has no sound, could you tell me why?
How did you install the traction control?
I gotta 2002. Wonder if steering wheel wires are the same.cant find any diagrams for bose system with 11 speakers and factory amp and sub with swc.. Any way you can help or got instructions still from wiring kit..previous owner cut wires so i had to tear everything out run amps and rcas.. Gotta radio with steering wheel controls built in but don't know which wires are what. Theres a lot of em.. Thanks..
By doing this do you lose the rear seat stereo and DVD player?
I honestly don't know the answer. Hopefully someone will chime in.
That is the video I need
Did you have a factory overhead dvd and was you able to keep the sound on your new headunit? Bout to install in my 04 denali
There was not one in this vehicle, so I am not sure.
I have a ‘03 Escalade with the overhead dvd entertainment unit. I was wondering the same thing.
Ok i used a gm pac 11. With a kenwood headunit. I got audio from the deck but not from the rear unit. Luckily my headunit has dual zone so i can get it that way. What i did do was run a video out of my headunit to the rear dvd and now my daughter has the option to either watch what i put on or she can use the headphones and watch what she wants from the rear.@@darylmangrum1789
Did you ever find out guys because I’m going through this currently in my 2004 Cadillac Escalade esv platinum and I’m trying to keep the sound for my dvd player and cd player
@@dantefernandes5525 gm pac11 I believe is what I used you will need to tap a video wire into the rear dvd which I found on 5staraudio I think
Disculpa tengo una Cadillac escalade 202 perdón por mi pregunta lequite el esterio original ile kiero conectar uno de pantalla prende itodo pero no trabajan ninguna vosina nitanpoco keda ningún esterio de pantalla al plástico original donde iba conectado el otro el esterio original muchas gracias de antemano
Can you suggest a drawer
Great video guy love the comedy
Glad you enjoyed
Hi I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe lt it’s fully loaded bosses sounds and steering wheel controls and a DVD player what stuff would I need to hook my radio up to my truck if u could help that would be great
Hey did you ever find out how to do all of this and keep the dvd player sound I’m currently going through this and trying not to cut out the sound on my dvd player thank you ! I’m installing a Sony ax3200 radio
My 2004 tahoe has radio controls and bose system has everything as cadillac escalade does
Thank you! I just successfully installed a Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX in my 2005 Cadillac Escalade thanks to this video! I have also installed a backup camera but haven't connected it to the rear brake lights as I don't know which one to cut and don't want to mess it up... Anyways when setting up your Pioneer Stereo did you choose network mode or standard mode?
Glad it helped! But it has been so long since I did this video, i honestly do not remember.
@@TahoeSteve No worries, thanks so much for the response! Have a great day and again thanks for all the help!
Theirs 2 black and green the black is always ground
did you ever find the aftermarket drawer for the cd changer?
Still on the hunt. Total oversight on my part when making the video. i found 1000 options for my Tahoe, but zero for the Caddy.
I used “Metra 98-8999 Turbo Pocket for Select 1987-08 Mitsubishi/Subaru/VW Vehicles”. I gutted the CD changer, used the frame and it fit perfectly.
Cool video Steve, I just thought the Bose amp would need a lower signal to operate, as one would use the RCA outputs on most other power amp installations, so as it seems your wired directly into original Harness??? and it works!!!
Yep, worked in my 02 Tahoe (non Bose, but with factory amp) as well. That amp was a POS located behind the glove box. I had to do an amp bypass just to take it out of the equation.
Hey Steve. So I wanted to swap stereos with my 07 Silverado classic (double din) w/o bose and 04 Yukon (stock radio) w/bose. I was trying to reuse gmah24b harness but I wasn’t getting any sound so I bypassed interface and connected p. Cont to pink wire to fix that. Now unit won’t turn off at all. Looks like installer had cut off 12v box that came with interface off. Should I just wire the red wire to a fuse or just get a new harness? Thanks
So question, how do you get rid of stereo engine squeal?
How did you bypass the onstar? I had same harness but my volume is real low
Same problem
Great Great video. Mr. Steve. Good Dad bro blessings
Thank you kindly
What did you use to cut the plastic inside that Cadillac Escalade? Tools?
Pliers. not pretty but no one will ever see.
how do you keep the original chime and not the other one
hey steve i have a pac harness just like yours for an 06 sierra hd. i want speaker wire to go to speakers not bose.. can i plug into the hidden harness tucked in the back. i want to bypass bose
So, .... I have a 2002 Tahoe with NO Bose and I was able to do a factory amp bypass. Your car is a different generation than mine, and has Bose, but I bet it is possible. Check with that Google guy :)
What stereo system would you recommend for Cadi 2003? Thanks.
Stereo is a very personal choice. The features of an aftermarket stereo are immense and everyone is different. Have a look at the crutchfield site and figure out what you want, what you can afford, and go from there.
Where did you get the drawer to replace the CD player?
i have not found a good solution for this yet. for my Tahoe, there was an exact fit so i thought this was a no brainer but.....
What did you end up putting in the cd changer spot? And do you have a link for it?
So, for my tahoe they make an aftermarket drawer and I thought they made one for the escalate to. I'm still looking for what to do with it.
This is what most people are using for the cubby space left once you remove the CD changer from the 2003-06 Escalade-Yukon Denali etc... I know the listing says it’s for a Mitsubishi/Subaru/VW....disregard that - no worries - and just read the reviews and look at the pictures people with these years GM trucks post. It’s prob the best option for where the CD player used to be. Cheapest and best option and it looks pretty good!

@@TahoeSteve take the cuts out of the old CD changer and use the outer frame as a cubby. Line it with foam and felt padding.
I used CD frame and this fit perfectly “Metra 98-8999 Turbo Pocket for Select 1987-08 Mitsubishi/Subaru/VW Vehicles”
Hey I need some help with mine
Good video. Life saver
Glad to hear it!
Appreciate the hard work you put into the 2 videos ! Finally got mine up and working.
Glad I could help
Did you put in new speakers yet or bypass the factory amp. I have realized I can’t play the music as loud as I could with the stock radio.
Found out there was a control on the harness. Now the speakers humm no idea what it is
I lost my door chime how do I fix that
What wire hardness did you use?
I need help. So I went to a shop to get my new apple car play radio installed and ever since then my ac doesn’t blow cold anymore. Just got. I bought brand new ac system and only the back blows cold ac. Can anyone help. 2003 suburban z71 with Bose. Thank you , they had to bypass the amp to the new radio for speakers to work
I have 2 hardwired wires Coming out of the bottom edge of my OEM radio. It is a DVD player radio and I don’t know if that has anything to do with it or if it has to do with the XM radio antenna
what color are they?
Tahoe Steve black, both
I think they go to the rear view mirror for the onstar and the digital compass
So if that is the case, I have the kit that “retains onstar” - how will that work once I cut the wires?
Does this harness keep the rear entertainment center functions?
No. You have to modify for that.
Do you know how to install a double din on a 2003 chevy silverado.
not too different than what was done here
Do any of the things you put on the list from amazon come with the mic? I'm trying to do this myself and im praying I do it right you make it look easy so im hoping I do not fail. This is my husbands account I'm the wifey I've watched this video over and over I think I'm good to go on the installation...I have one question thow I watched the wiring video and I seen where the orange and stuff went to the dimmer on the first set but on the last part at the end I believe you said it goes to the wires on the other side as well so you connect the 3 wires together? All the oranges together from both sides. I'm a little confused on the very last set of wires for the dimmer and the 2 other wires where they hook up to
The radio in the video has a mic.
I took the 5 disc changher out of its housing and used that, lined it with some thin plexiglass type stuff and some padded leather on the floor .
Thank you 🙏🏻
You’re welcome 😊
I’m not getting no sound out my I did everything write
Same anyone got a fix ?
My tahoe has steering wheel controls and bose speakers and it’s a 2005 as well
waiting for the million view. XD
did you bypass the amp? where are the rcas
No, because we did not install an aftermarket amp, otherwise I would have.
@@TahoeSteve I see now this is exactly what I need. Do you know if the model you used works for the 2006 Sierra 2500 HD
Does this work for 2004 Chevrolet Avalanche Z71 with Bose system??
You ever figure that out ?
Please help, does this work on 2017 chevrolet trax??
no clue
Would this methodology be applicable to a 2004 GMC Yukon xl with bose audio?
Same manufacturer and same Generation but I can only guess that the answer is yes because i have never done an 04 GMC Yukon. Maybe someone here will chime in.
@@TahoeSteve thank you so much for your reply it's much appreciated.
@@budthechud3408 YES
Thanks for the video
You bet
Haha great vid!
Great work...Mr. Alabama.
LOL. No offense meant to the great state of AL.
Aren’t there head units that fit without cutting?
Yes, but they don't have cd players in them.
Love watching the motivation man.
Appreciate the kind comment.
Lol thanks Dad!!! 🤝
lol
Do you recall if that interface kit kept the fader control function on that Bose system, also you don't need to start your engine to move the gear select
Would this work with a 05 yukon
if the config is the same, (Bose and steering wheel controls) then yes, it should.
Sometimes you can take the brackets off the old radio
12:36 😂😂 “kill” hilarious
Love the hair bruh
thanks, bruh!
Ur escalade had no satellite radio ??
no
@@TahoeSteve well I hope it still works the same
Bro, he just throw the radio for no reason if it breaks what are you gonna do
Good day dear ,
Do I need “Axxess Gm Data Interface” or it is just enough to have “normal wire harness and steering wheel control “ to operate the pioneer after market radio.
I guess it wouldn't hurt, but mine worked just fine with the stuff i used in the video.
Couldve sold the old one lol 😂
