Aftermarket Radio Install - Issues 2006 Silverado
 

I purchased a 2006 silverado with the work truck package last week and tried to install a aftermarket radio in it tonight. I have absolutely hit a wall trying to get this installed as there some issue with the harness that does not allow for switched wiring from the factory deck. So I tried to attach a fuse tap into the 10a SEO Accesory however I have cd power (hear noise as it is conncected) but no lights. What have I done? Do I need higher amperage?

Wait you cant disconect the harnes to put the after market harnes in?

Don't know which one you have for sure but you will probably be needing one of these.

I purchased a Sony deck and it came with a harness in the box. I cut the old harness off of the factory deck and just started connecting wires to each other with wire nuts. All wires matched except the truck does not have a switched power wire.

I figured it out. My mistake was that I had wired the antenna wire to the data line (small orange). Everything is working now. Thanks for the help.
