- I have a 2014 camaro LT, that has been having radio issues. Went online and saw that if you snipped the white communication wire it would fix it. Well, mine didn’t. And it’s still having issues. Any help would be amazing!
2015 Camaro. Radio was out, door chime not working. I cut the white wire. After that you need to go to the trunk battery under the spare tire and take off the negative cable for 5-10 minutes to reset the electrical computer. Now everything is working fine!
I tried all the tricks everyone suggests, cut white wire, contact dealer, contact gm, stand on my head, hold my tongue just right. after many hours on the phone with Gm. none of that worked. on principal I didnt want to pay Gm to fix something they should have recalled and fixed free. I bought an aftermarket stereo and faceplate. works great now. and i have a rear camera and other features. less than what gm wanted to fix something that should have been warranteed.
I have same Camaro with exact problem. I'd rather get an aftermarket radio as well. What kind did you get and how much did it cost to install?
After you cut the white wire did you reset the computer? In the trunk take off the negative battery cable for 5-10 minutes. It worked for me!
@@LTNoles1 still working?
@@brianfyffe8204 Yes it is. I did try everything else mentioned everywhere including cleaning the battery connections under the spare tire and checking all of the fuses. After cutting the white wire everything worked again and never came back!
Yeah, 2014 LS with manual, The radio system itself has a major flaw/defect and not the interlock. I am reluctant to cut any wires as if I would that might defeat something else maybe not crucial to normal driving but I have been going like this for well over a year and it seems to get worse. The most annoying part is when I shift gears and at different speeds it will flicker on and off and "pop" or make a loud jarring static sound as if something coming through the speakers is not grounded or is if two stereo speaker wires are touching and a loud bass rumble distorted effect will make passengers jump, I guess I am used to it, but it is very annoying. I am not about to buy another radio because I can do without, for now I unless I decide to sell her ( she's just rolled 60k Mi I have taken very good care of her) I just want the stupid light show. booms. snaps and pops to stop!
I have a 2013 Camaro same issue after I cut the white wire the issue got worse! Now no ac or heat, one video I seen said we need to call the Chevrolet dealer it might be a recall on this issue, doubt I get that lucky!
I got a 2012 as my first car and none of the radio lights or the lights in the mirror work. Do you think cutting the wire would work?
Have same issue with my 2015. With all the head units that have failed it would have been prudent for GM to do a recall. They have the dough… OURS!😂
I have a 2015 Chevy Camaro LT and the radio is possessed along with Ac lights, blinkers not making any sound. I took it to the dealership they said I needed to replace the radio. I took it to another dealership they said the BCM was bad. Bottom line I replace the BCM the problem is still there so the only fix for it is to replace the radio and that will resolve issue. I don't know if your car is doing the anti-theft deterrent flashing as well but it's all connected to the radio. Good luck
I was having a similar issue. Radio sound would go off sometimes with the screen on sometimes the screen was blank. Convertible top would stop opening / closing. Had a bunch of service "xxx" (airbags, TPMs, theft deterrent etc.) warnings come on. Right tail light would have issues. Turn signals would turn on but not make the noise. Many things seemed to be right side of the car related. And many other things. $800 later it's fixed. Something to do with grounding a wire in the rear trunk / quarter panel area. Hope this helps. Dealerships are a rip off.
What wire? Pls help. The white wire stuff didnt work on my 2013 1LS
Didn't solve my issue either. Any updates
I was having the same problem with the radio on my wife's 2015 Camaro. The radio just quit completely. There was just a blank screen, no sound, nothing. I read some other comments here and saw that people were cutting the white wire on the left of the harness and getting good results. I wasn't comfortable cutting wires so I decided to try resetting the cars computer instead to see if that worked. All you have to do to reset it is disconnect the battery cable, negative is best, and leave it disconnected for about 15 mins or so and then hook it back up. BINGO, turned the key back on the and radio works fine now. Also, when I turned the key back on, I got a message to open and close the drivers side door. After I did that, I shut it all down and tried it again to make sure the radio was still working and I got a second message to roll down and back up the drivers side window. I know, I know, I was laughing too, but after that I shut everything down and tried it again and everything is all back to normal again. It has been working for over 5 months now without any problems.
Was it the manual radio, or the touchscreen?
@@20981nick Touchscreen
you’re a legend. i’ve tried every suggestion on here and was about to give up and buy a new radio. you sir have saved me $500
@@billyjoe3350 I'm glad it worked for you
Does it work on a manual radio ? I have a 2013 camaro
I got this same model. Cut the wire and noticed a couple of changes but radio still shet. Probably gonna buy an aftermarket radio
After cutting the white wire, reset the computer by taking off the negative cable on the trunk battery for 5-10 minutes. Everything is working fine now!
Finally GM puts BMW electronic in theirs car :)
unhook negitive cable for about an hour then hook it back up! fixed the problem
No it does t
This issue is NOT related to any wires or fuses. The problem is 💯 the radio receiver! I bought and installed a refurbished receiver ($145) then took it to the dealership to be synced with my VIN ($125). Problem solved! Thanks for posting video and fix 🙂
Shannon Parker That’s exactly what did too. I think it’s a fuse or something inside the of radio unit
@@20981nick does this mean it will go bad again eventually?
@@shadyrep1275 probably not. Mine never did.
@@20981nick
P
So you bought the refurbished receiver not the control part? Where did you buy that from? My radio is completely out. If I buy a used cd and controller I have to get it synced by Chevy?
Replace the radio behind the radio/hvac control.
These radios are bad about this.
I cut the white wite changed the radio fuse and the display fuse. Nothing helped.
Ine went out and has never came back on. I took dround off battery iver night nothing no chime when you open door withvkey on or in ignition no signal noise i took radio out it has power and ground all fuses are good .
Did yours have heating and cooling issues as well? Did you ever get it fixed?
Mine just started having issues about a month ago.. sometimes it goes out while I'm parked, sometimes when I press the brake, but it normally cuts out when I use a blinker.. then the sound completely cuts out unless it does it again, or I turn off/on my car.
Have you figured out what it is yet
It's not the radio assembly or the radio it's. I'm having the same problem with my 2014 LS . The Chevrolet house charged me$ 2,500 for those two parts and it didn't work. There's a control module behind the radio that connects to the onestar that connects to the radio. Did you ever find a solution
I did. Replacing the whole unit. Behind the radio. Then took it to a dealership so they could program it to my camaro. Worked perfectly fine after that!
The hard truth is you WILL need an after market radio, dash kit, interface module and antenna adapter to have a functioning audio system in the 5th generation Camaro’s.
I personally installed three factory stereos and they ALL eventually gave out, unlike my aftermarket radio.
Did you ever get this fixed? I have a 2013 that the screen went blank I can only control from the steering wheel and I have no climate control. I’m desperate for some help!!!
I’m also having same issues the radio went blanked but I was able to use Bluetooth and Radio after a week becomes normal again but the climate when I used AC after on a while it will slow down it’s like something blocking in the cabin and makes noisy when press gas pedal like forcing the motor
did you find out what it was i have the same problem
Did u find out what was wrong with it mine does the exact same thing @20981nick
I believe it’s the radio unit itself behind the control panel. I’m going to replace it soon and I’ll let you know.
Ok thanks it’s boring riding around with no music 😂
Nathan yat I hate it. It’ll play, just fine. But when I hit a stop and have to use my turn signal, mf starts spazzing. 🤣🤣
I replace both part of radio and still same issue work for about 6 month and for the last 6....I’ve had no radio or ac
I having the same issue and I think it's the radio control module
so i’m a vw tech and i have a 2014 ls 3.6 camaro i’ve been dealing with the same issue. i’ve went as far as cutting the white wire, replacing the face plate and checking grounds and fuses, all were fine. i’m going to do a voltage drop from the alternator bc i’ve been noticing my battery voltage at 12.4 when my radio cuts out. radio works fine when my battery is at 14.5 when the car is running. i’ll update when i do the test, i hope this may be useful for you !
Any luck ?
Exactly the same issues 2014 lt
Any luck? I. Noticed the same on mine SS when volts are around 12.5 it plays up.
So do you get a new battery and this works ?
Same replaced battery. Do I need a alternator?
Same exact issue any solutions🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️??
Grady colston I’m going to be replacing the head radio unit, and if it works, I’ll let you know.
Replaced the whole radio unit. Works fine. Bought one off ebay, had a dealership burn my vin into it because it said theft lock (had original cars vin if it) and it works perfectly fine now.
Bro mine just started and it’s annoying the shit shit out of me. Wtf did you do to fix it?
Replace the actual radio unit behind the control panel. I got one off of ebay, and took it to a chevy dealer so they could reprogram it to my car.
Replace your wire harness!
Watched a tech with an osiciloscope, diagnose the control head as bad. Ground interference and ground dropping out of radio from control head.
I have a 2015, and I have the same exact issue.. literally all of them. I bought a new faceplate and it didn’t work. I got diagnostics and they didn’t tell me shit. I cut the wire and that didn’t work lmao. I hate it and I regret buying it.
I had same issue, found out hard wires where getting smashed everytime I opened and closed the trunk. Removed harness and had to rewire a few smashed cables that where causing short. Radio works now
Jose Flores so the wires were smash right where you close the trunk ? There’s is black cord running out of it when you open it . You fixed those wires lol help us man
Dude did you replace the wires your self did you have to take the car to an electrician? Or at the dealership ?
@@jbbaby09 would also like to know^
2013 chevy camaro standar two black cable are uncovered
mine is doing this too.
Chase Marsh replace the head unit. It’s a short in the stereo itself.
@@20981nick when you say head unit you mean the entire radio console right?

@@20981nick thanks bro
🤦🏻♀️
Okay guys listen up in my car it started doing the same thing now its a 2015 LS and i was thinking in replacing the radio unit but even after thinking of it i noticed that sometimes even the turn signals werent working like they should sometimes you would hear sounds even after i had the radio disconnected for a whole day so that just told me replacing the radio unit would not solve all the problems. 1. I took it to an electrician automobil and the guy diagnosed it to be the Body Control Module. He said if i replaced the radio unit the problem would solve since they will be connection it straight to the battery so no more cutting off or misising out on your music since it will be after market. 2. If i wanted to keep my stock radio i would need to fix the body control module and from his estimate this would cost nearly $300 to $400 and it would fix all the issues he said its not the radio thats bad its actually what sends out the signal and power to the car which is the (BCM) Body Control Module.
SNAG MED Where can you order the module?
20981nick I have one for sale
20981nick with touchscreen and navigation
Donavan Pope I would have to run new wires and everything for that.
20981nick I’m letting it go for $250 perfectly fine it just doesn’t come with the other wires contact me if interested
Have the same problem, so I just use my Bluetooth from phone with speaker.
That white is for the satellite antenna not the radio. Change the radio fuse in the trunk
It was something in the head radio unit. I bought a new one, and had the dealership burn my vin into, and it fixed it. Been working perfectly for the past 6 months.
Did this work for you or anyone you know?
ummm.... that's because that little ole white wire in pretty important. The white wire is the GM-LAN communications between the radio and the radio/climate control head. You're not going to fix it without an understanding of the vehicle LAN system, a schematic and an oscilloscope to see what is happening to the CAN signal. I think you'll find a loose or corroded wire of connector contact, a cold solder joint on the CAN terminating resistors or some other module is dragging down the CANBUS. There are a variety of videos that explain the GM-LAN system. I would focus on the Head, the Radio and the Body Control Module first. At any point between the GM-LAN wires you should measure 120 Ohms. If the value is higher you probably have an open line or corroded contact. If it is 60 Ohms, you probably have a broken wire or a bad terminating resistor in one of the modules. Either way, with a little electronics experience, you should be capable of fixing it for free.
I’m also having the same problem. A dealer told me the radio needs to be replaced.
I tried replacing the front panel, not thinking that I should have replaced the radio unit first. I’ll let you know if it works when I replace it!
20981nick did it work when you replaced the unit
promblemchildent Haven’t replaced the unit yet. Haven’t found a decent one online yet.
@@20981nick mine is doing this also and my turn signals don't make a sound! Just wondering if urs is doing that also
Kristi Jones yep. When the radio isn’t working, no sound in my at all! No turn signal sound either.
This happens to mine!!! But know it’s won’t turn on at alll
So I took my radio to the dealership, with a new radio that I bought off ebay. And they burned my vin into the new radio and tossed the old one. And now it works perfectly fine.
20981nick Ok thanks, I just order one of eBay too I’m hopping that fixes the problem
Alondra Fajardo If you put it in, it will say theft lock. And you’ll then take it to the dealership and they can burn your vin into it and it’ll work perfectly.
20981nick Great thanks!
20981nick So I installed my new radio, it dose say locked like you said though. Do you know how much it’s at the dealer to unlock it?
I'm having the same issue. Did changing the radio work?
