My front two speakers have slowly been going out for a while now. They would randomly cut off then randomly come back on. The gap duration would be totally random (days, weeks, etc.). Now they do not come on at all.... any ideas? If not, does anybody know how to get passed the whole locking mechanism for a new factory stereo? I looked on ebay for a new dash stereo and I can get one for about 30 bucks. The only problem is that Chevy said that it would lock up (anti-theft mechanism), and I would have to bring it in and pay them 150 bucks an hour to bypass it.

 

just go aftermarket HU

 

90% sure its not your radio. Same exact thing happened to me, until eventually both front speakers failed. Replaced them with new aftermarket pioneers and everything's back to normal!

 

^^^^ x2

Likely the speakers themselves or the wiring through the door post - they get flexed every time you use the door, they will break down eventually....


And $150/hr to unlock a replacement stereo?????? Hope they include lube in that price

Should be 0.5 tops if the guy / gal knows what they are doing with a Tech II

 

I just installed my new speakers, and they work!!! Thanks a lot. Best of all I didn't have to break my number one rule of "never go to the dealer." lol
