    Anybody have stickers on the A/C controls?

    Yes to steering wheel controls, no to adjusting while in reverse. A few weeks after installing the radio something seems to have disconnected so the steering wheel controls don't work again and I don't want to bother taking the dash apart to fix it.

    Anybody have stickers on the A/C controls?

    This one, it sounds great but has a few annoyances. When you put it in reverse, you can't change the volume until the rev cam is disabled (back in drive). Seems strange that the knob would not work in that mode. The touchscreen is also not very responsive, so manually entering an address, etc...

    Anybody have stickers on the A/C controls?

    They look significantly better than the peeling buttons that they covered, "very" slightly different than stock/unpeeled but not enough to care. Both fan blower speed buttons have stickers on them in this photo.

    good suggestion

    Is this frame too late to save ?

    - Saltsgone is purely a cleaner, but some people have used it to "treat" rust, I wouldn't. (short term use). I couldn't recommend this chassis flusher any more regardless of what else you do. - Ospho (very thin consistency) and Naval Jelly (thick, think honey consistency) are pretty similar...

    Is this frame too late to save ?

    I'd try to save it. I really like saltsgone for a good cleaning. Then some Ospho or naval jelly, literally paint it everywhere, try to get in the cracks/holes, then saltsgone again (+ this is fantastic). Let dry for a full day or more. Then I'd POR15/Eastman frame paint it, the latter sells a...

    What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

    Changed out the destroyed rear shocks for Bilsteins that I got from Summit Racing. 95 degree heat meant I drank about a gallon of water doing this. Rides much better.

    AFM disable or lifter issue 2012 PPV TAHOE

    I'm seeing some posts on other posts (Reddit) about how software only AFM (Range, etc) only exacerbates lifter failure?

    HVAC controls not telling blower to turn on, intermittent

    Wife texted me saying the 2011 Tahoe we bought recently isn't enabling the front blower fans, but rear controls worked fine. I got in today and everything is fine. Should I pull the dash apart and make sure there isn't anything obvious or is an easier check to pull the HVAC fuse and wait a bit?

    replacement 7 blade + 4 pin plug? - searched but didn't find anything

    That Hopkins plug is perfect! 2 second install. Highly recommended. Thank you. If anyone needs my factory plug, you're welcome to it for the cost of shipping.

    replacement 7 blade + 4 pin plug? - searched but didn't find anything

    Does anybody make a (factory) replacement trailer wiring plug for the GMT900 7-blade plug on my 2011 tahoe or is this the best option? I'd like to have both available but hate adapting adapters.

    Where can I get an HVAC knob/dial?

    https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1347998 it "might" be the same or close enough to a 2007's?

    Adding Amp for Door Speakers 2005 Tahoe LT3

    You could in theory run one downstream of the factory amp, but what features would you miss if you did a full replace?

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    Crutchfield "Dual" branded unit in. Its very basic, which is exactly what I wanted. Basically its an AM/FM radio, reverse cam and vehicle to use Android Auto (wireless). Works perfect. I also rewired both front power plugs with relays to be ignition switched (changed out the drivers side one for...

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    Initially yes, but the lack of volume knob was the dealbreaker

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    I think I will, I've had good luck with Crutchfield in the past. I did have them build the harness for me, $25 is well worth it. I will have to cut 1 wire though to ground out the parking brake trigger wire.

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    New unit was exactly the same, can only get a tiny amount of sound from rear speakers and if the amp trigger wire is spliced together it buzzes LOUD the entire time it's powered on.

    Aftermarket head unit in PPV no sound

    I just tried to install 2 very similar radios that I bet are the same reseller/OEM. I finally gave up for the exact reason you're stating. I couldn't get the rear amp to turn on. My instructions said to connect Pink AMP-CON to blue AMP-CTRL but instead I had 2 blue wires (1 AMP-CTRL and 1...

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    This was a hail mary, as the feature list is great. I received a replacement radio (same model) and have the same exact issue. I'm giving up and ordering something from crutchfield. I solved the humming and buzzing, but can't get the amp to wake up for the rear speakers enough to have anything...

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    **another update** amp trigger wire re-attached, now as soon as its powered on a LOUD buzzing plays over the rear speakers. Spoke to support again and they're sending me another radio. Swapped back to the factory radio and all works (so its not the wiring or amp). This is frustrating... I might...

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    **Update** can't get the rear speakers to work, but went back and forth with support trying 2 or 3 things, apparently I missed a harness to harness amp trigger wire (not sure why that's not presoldered but whatever). Will re-re-swap tomorrow and report back.

    2011 Tahoe Android radio swap

    Picked up a chinese Android radio that supposedly is a factory fit. Install after laying everything out and pulling off the trim was quite easy. The issue (apparently known) is the rear has a buzzing and very little sound coming from the speakers. Its almost like all of the sound is bridged to...
