Ok, I read the stickys and was a bit confused. Someone stated that by replacing the head unit, you wont lose the door chimes. They also listed what wiring harness to buy. I looked it up on metra's website (pt# 70-2103) and they state I will lose door/warning chimes.

I found the Metra XSVI-2103 and this harness provides the 12v acc, but I still loose the door/warning chimes Driver Info Center

BTW; I have a 06 balt lt. No pioneer system or onstar.

Can someone help me with this? I dont want to lose the DIC or chimes.

Thanks in advance.

 

for some reason i thought there was a harness out there that would keep your chims. But it was like a 100 dollar harness. otherwise yeah your gana lose it. what else are you confused about?

 

okay, short story...

05,06,some 07 balts, the chimes are from a piezobuzzer, you won't lose them.

some 07 and all 08+ it comes from the speakers, so you will lose the chimes without that 100 dollar thingie.

 

chimes? wtf??? i have a aftermarket deck on my 06ls, no problems...i dont have onstar, i dont have steering wheel controls, i have cruise...and it all works fine, i didnt loose a thing. the deck still cuts off if i leave it on after 10 mins with out the key

 

circuit city has the harness for 98.99 so does best buy for the same price

 

oh wow... silly me, overquoting the price, lol.

 

hahahahaa see above i did it too.

So the part he needs is out there he just has to spend a ton of money to get it. Guess you gata ask how important those chimes are.

 

98 bucks is a ton of money? Damn, the economy is in the *******.

 

yo i got tricked into buying the stupid chime module thing...but i basically got free alpine type s speakers with it so i basically got the chime thing for free.......ANYWAYS just listen to the driver side front speaker...if you have a chime coming from it you want the madule...if it is not coming from the speaker DO NOT BUY THE MODULE!

 

I bought the steering wheel controls thing from http://www.sonicelectronix.com/ they have all your audio needs for a great price

 

Umm... I'm pretty sure he has an '06. No need for something to keep the chimes.

 

guys please read the sticky. we have talked and talked, all this is explained.

 

Damn straight 98 dollars is a lot of money. Are you saying its not? 98 dollars can go a long way in a well planned budget. I expected a comment like that coming from you. After all, you are dumping 4 figures into a audio system you will hear a few hours a month. That doesn't mean I don't think its a display of audio bliss though

 

******* a no offence guys but i seriously lined this out in the faq by year. read it a few times over or pm me because im done with this thread

 

ya i dont get why there is so many threads when all you have to do is read
