Hey there!
I'm new here, and I was hoping someone can point me in the right direction cuz this is driving me nuts. It took me not even 5 minutes to get the radio out, and going on 2 days of running back and forth to a store to get a new one in!!!!! This is beyond frustrating. Anywho, I have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe LS. Replacing the factory Radio with a Dual Electronics Xdvd179bt 7 inch flip screen radio. All the stores around here seem to not have the correct wiring harness. I can plug the harness in just fine, but I cannot get the radio to power on. I have googled around and looked online, and it looks as if there might be a connector out there that stores don't carry anymore. I have tried re pinning one of my connectors that I have to that layout, and when I have done so the radio actually starts to make a "whining" noise like it is trying to power on. I can't seem to find a correct diagram that matches how this one is pinned out inside the dash but I have made assumptions based on what colors are on multiple websites. Below is how it is pinned.
A1- orange (my assumption is this is battery 12v which should go to yellow)
A2-7 are empty on the harness in the dash
A8-tan (assumption is this is the Left Front + Speaker)
A9-Gray (assumption is this is the Left Front - Speaker)
A10-light blue (assumption is this is the Right Rear - Speaker)
A11-Dark Blue (assumption is this is the Right Rear + Speaker)
A12-black/white (assumption is this is ground)
B1-orange (not 100% sure what this one is for, possibly 12v Accessory, so red wire???)
B2-7 are empty
B8-brown (assumption is this is the left rear + Speaker)
B9-yellow (assumption is this is the left rear - speaker)
B10-green (assumption is this is the Right front - Speaker)
B11-light green (assumption is this the Right front + Speaker)
B12-Empty
Has anyone ever seen one laid out like this? And is it possibly to re pin the connector like I am trying to do, or am I missing something here? Ive put in over 30 radios, but I have never had this issue. Any help is greatly appreciated.
