trying to figure this out if the GMOS-LAN-04 will work in an 05 SS pioneer system, was going to buy a used setup for a great deal but hate to if im going to have to buy different adapters

 

The Pioneer system is externally amped, and LAN-04 is for non-amped or amp by radio.

Use LAN-03.

 

ok well i dont have onstar.....im just wanting the pioneer double din, and would like to keep my steering wheel controls....i was told the chimes and other stuff dont go through the radio on the 05s so what is my cheapest and best route

 

You know how you can turn your car off and the radio still works until you open your door? Well if you want to keep it like that you will need a harness/module because if you don't the key is going to control when the radio turns off.

 

I never leave mine on when i get out anyways, thats not a huge deal to me

 

pac c2r-gm11b

 

so will i need that and the swi-rc to retain steering wheel controls?

 

Yeah, or the PAC equivalent.

 

Ya so if you really don't care about the radio turning off when the car is off all you will need is the steering wheel thing, and a antenna adapter. But I'm sure he has the antenna adapter if he's used the radio already.

 

what happened to the good ole days of just throwing one in

 

Technically you can. The steering wheel harness isn't needed lol

 

so if the chimes and stuff dont go through the radio on an 05....then what exactly is it good for anyhow...?

 

The whole thing with the radio being controlled by the key. I wanted everything to stay like stock. Where you can take your key out and the radio keep playing until you open the door. That's the only reason you would need it since you're an 05. Same with my 06.

 

so what harness do i need if i dont care about that, keeping in mind that its the pioneer system factory

 

The guy that is selling you the radio, does he have the factory pioneer system as well?

 

yeah he does, but its an 07 and the module is different , they are pinned differently i suppose....i could still get it but would have to buy a harness and steering wheel interface

 

Well just do that. The steering wheel thing is like $50. And you will be set.

 

the harness plug is completely different... the gmos-lan-04 will not work at all

 

ight thats what i was thinking man, thanks for clearing that up!!!
