Awesome XTGMC72C Installation

[Topskij01]

I just swapped out my 2008 Tahoe radio (25864960) with a new Awesome XTGMC72C. Everything seems to be working ok except I lost the warning chime (seat belt buckled, door open with key in ignition, etc..).
Anyone else swap out their older radio wirh a new one and run across this type of problem?

What does the vendor have to say about it? Any support there?

Dang... Another affordable aftermarket solution that doesn't work with the Bose Nav head-unit.

Unless the new head unit will generate the chimes, you'll need a converter that creates them. When I replaced my OE radio in mine I used an interface that did that and also retained the steering wheel controls. Crux is one mfr. and there are others, but I have no idea if those would be compatible with your new head unit.

These inexpensive head units seem to put you on your own to get things to work correctly.

You get what you pay for, AT BEST.
