2005 GMC Yukon XL Denali New Aftermarket Radio (ATOTO F7) no sound

[mediom]

Hey guys, so i am facing a problem with my radio right now. It turns on, carplay is working the way it should but there is no sound. I try to play some music and there is nothing. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Title says ‘ new ‘ aftermarket radio. So, new as in, just installed and you can’t get it to work or, was it working before and then stopped working ?

Did the truck have Bose sound system originally?

NO CLUE, NOT ENOUGH INFORMATION PROVIDED

the truck has bose sound system originally. and I just installed the thing and I cant get the sound to work.

Are you using any kind of interface with it, for steering wheel controls, etc.? If so, which one?

im not using any interface for the steering wheel controls. But I was think about it. there was this harness kit for like 90 bucks on amazon.

You'll need it for the controls to work. Did you get the GM chime box for the new radio?

 

[mediom]

I know that, but I'm more concerned about the fact I am receiving no sound coming out. Something tells me i need bypass the amplifier by getting the harness.

I was able to retain the bose amp and sub when I installed my aftermarket HU, double check your wiring and make sure everything is color matched. The first thing to check is your +/- for each speaker and go from there.

this might be a dumb question but you said you were able to retain yours. And i was just wondering if you plugged in your amplifer turn on wire because I wasnt able to find one that was communicating with that wire.

That might be your issue. I'd think your amp is getting the signal to turn on--thus no sound.

I'm certainly no expert on the wiring or interfaces, but if your radio uses the standard wire color codes there apparently should be a Blue/White wire to use to turn on the amp. Does your radio manufacturer include any instructions for installation?

Here's one interface that might be compatible.

^^ This is the module that I installed, and that is how I retained the factory amp + chime module. PAC RP5 GM11

Same on my '04 and to retain SWC (steering wheel controls). But we don't know what the OP's radio wiring looks like, or what provisions it has available.

i think your right

 

[tooleyondeck]

most likely you need the PAC module if you have Bose, it is well worth the price for the features you retain.

Denali Bose is the luxury version with different pinouts/wiring from the "premium" found in Tahoe/Yukon. Make sure the harness is the correct version or the wiring was done correctly.
