Im hoping someone here can help me out. I had installed a Kenwood DNX893S expensive stereo on a 2013 yukon denali. The features are great and better than the stock. I also have the maestro so i retained mostly everything (lost ability to have 2 channels on the wireless headphones). The problem i am having is with the wireless headphones. I have noticed that it works off and on. When its not working i have to turn the car off and than back on a few times to get it to work. I had it at the GMZ dealership a few times. The first time they said it was the IR transmitter-i replaced it and i did he same thing. The second time, they told me it was the control module, they replaced it and it still did the same thing. I also took it to the car stereo place that did the install and they checked the kenwood out and said the problem is somewhere in the wiring because everything was working up to the factory harness. Im looking for help as i just want my kinds to be able to listen to their movie and my wife and i dont have to hear it. any ideas what the problem is?

LOVE THE NEW NEX LINE.... I WORK FOR A CAR AUDIO SHOP IN BALTIMORE, WE HAVE ALL CAR AUDIO ACCESSORIES USUALLY IN STOCK IF WE DONT I CAN ORDER IT.... LET ME KNOW IF I CAN HELP IN ANYWAY....
im not sure what was used, but when it works it works fine. I just have to turn the car off and than on again a time or two at startup. I can tell if its working by visualizing the red lights on the IR in the overhead console. Thats the only issue....everything else works...steering wheel controls, back up cam (except the distance lines are static and no longer dynamic and do not turn with steering wheel anymore). its just odd that it takes a engine restart to make it work. when the headphones do not work, im still getting a picture to the monitor just no sound through the IR transmitter.

I hope I am not violating any forum rules by sharing an external URL. Here is a link to Crutchfield's Research Garage which goes into detail about the options available on the NNBS/GMT900 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, Yukon XL, etc. Crutchfield Research Garage . Even if you do not order the parts from Crutchfield they have a wealth of knowledge and pretty much list all the parts you need based on your Make/Model/Year. If you purchase from them it comes with their mastersheet that provides step-by-step instructions on how to install everything and retain the factory options.
I recently added a pioneer 4200nex with a PAC rp5. The issue I'm having is that the factory head unit was the no screen model, meaning the back up camera goes to the mirror. The rp5 integration module came with a harness that connects the factory brown plug, camera/sub/center to the aftermarket head unit, but that brown plug wasn't begins the radio. Where can I find this plug, as I want my subwoofer back. I am extremely disappointed in the outcome and am considering going back to the factory head unit.

You need an additional PAC harness that retains the rear entertainment. But I dont remember the subwoofer being on this plug, it was just the red/yellow/white rca for rear? I bought same setup as you with rp5 gm31 and trying to remember the other harness but its listed on PAC site and instructions. But at the end, you get a yellow RCA that connects to the rear camera port on back of 4200 nex (brown rca port) and below that are the 2 RCA's for subwoofer. The connection for sub from car to PAC is only 1 RCA but the 4200 is ready to take 2 (red/white). I think even if my sub is unplugged, I still get the subwoofer working. Its only if I unplug the specific harness for sub that goes to bose amp that it stops working. Hope this helps.

How can I run a double din hu (so I can see my streaming music on the screen and add a back up camera) while retaining the onstar, Xm, and keep the factory Bluetooth mic.
Or is there a way to stream Bluetooth and keep xm and have song info displayed on the factory radio? And would it be easier to do the rear view mirror monitor with onstar?
I also want to add the sub under the console...I will do the line out converter or the rcas from the head unit ...depending on the direction I go. And I want to keep steering wheel controls with both options.
My truck is a 2009 LT, no Bose, no factory amp, remote start.

Thank you
I have a 2008 Tahoo LTZ with Bose, Nav, Onstar, and RES. I just installed Pioneer AVH-2440NEX. Bought from Crutchfield with Maestro iDatalink module. Everything works with steering controls, warning chimes, backup camera, and DVD playing on rear screen. The one thing I didn't think about beforehand when researching HUs, was the wireless headphones. With the factory unit, the kids could watch DVD's in back and listen on wireless headphones, while the wife and I listened to the radio through the speakers. I can't seem to figure out how to get this function to work on my new Pioneer. Anyone have any ideas? Crutchfield guys said on some radios it works, some it doesn't, but couldn't find any written specs on which ones retain the function. ????
in the head unit menu when you are playing a video go back to the menu and select "mirror" on the source, then go back to radio and radio will play in front and video will play in back thru ir

Unfortunately you will not have that option with the pioneer. It only has video out on the radio. When you are playing a dvd on the head unit it is playing through the car speakers so there is no need for headphones. When you change sources the dvd output goes away. You need a radio with dual zone like stated earlier. These offer you the option to play a dvd and have the AV out go to the overhead. You can change the source up front and it will still deliver video to the overhead at the same time. Higher end pioneers like the 8200NEX have that option. In a Kenwood most of their excelon units do it. One similar to what you have is the DDX9905. We have the older DDX9903 in our 08 LTZ and it does exactly what you want yours to do.

Guys. I have the 2010 LT Tahoe and do not have the back up camera but i do have the parking assist. Upon shopping for a camera and options, I have moved to replacing the receiver with one that has camera options and apple car play, DVD, etc. This put me at Best Buy talking it over with a young guy that had most likely installed nothing but a steering wheel in a Lego car. The pc he used pulled up this list of things i would need to ensure all factory options would continue to work. RPS-GM31- PAC radiopro5 Radio interface, 40-CR10 Metra-Chrysler vehicle antenna adapter cable, AX-USB-Minib - Access USB adapter harness 2010 later vehicles, BBBPC - Metra Licence plate back up camera, AVH-2330NEX- Pioneer android autoapple carplay bluetooth in dash cd/dvd player receiver.
His words were, "It should work". So my concerns are..Will my parking assist and rear passenger stereo controls still work?
I have installed many stereos in my time but only had to worry about the antenna and rca jacks. This one may be outside of my field. The other thing is every time i have installed an aftermarket receiver, the FM stereo never sounds as good as the factory(cd and mp3 is great). Will this be the case in replacing the unit also?
