Hello,

I’m in Texas and I recently purchased a 2016 PPV used by the state troopers.

It’s in great condition overall.

Radio works, but only plays audio to the two rear door speakers. The front door and dash speakers do not work.

I will be putting in a new center console, but want to figure out the speakers first.

Pictures are attached, I already removed the metal police console, there are both in tact wires and multiple cut wires (I assume are police gear wires)

Thank you for the help in advance, I already love this Tahoe!
Hello I am in Texas as well. There is a wire that might be cut by the center console. I have a center console all the seeds and center console wiring harness plus upgraded radio complete system

On the same connector WX7 wiring harness splice your blue wire and solid yellow wire.

Figured out the speakers! All of them work great.

If anyone is having the same problem- it was super simple to figure out.

I looked up the color of the speaker wires, located the harnesses below the dash. It looks like the police installation separated the (factory) harnesses connection, and installed two auxiliary ones once separated with some custom wires. I just unplugged the two and connected the originals.

Look at the picture I attached for visual. The red lines indicate how I received the PPV, and the green line is how I attached the cables that now work. I attached the wire colors I used to locate the wires in the mess as well

Next up:

-get horn working
-get high beams working
-install a center console
-sell the cop box in the trunk
-left door lock/unlock switch does not work
-I want to activate lights when you unlock/lock truck
Now i feel very stupid and should have asked on here first, I took mine to the dealership and they charged me almost $700 for the sound issue, now i realized all they did was just connect those plugs. i also have an issue with the automatic daytime running lights which do not work, has anyone figured that out yet or having the same issue? i will have to turn on the headlights manually.

Look at your RPO code list in the glovebox and see if you have 9G8, which is "DELETE DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS AND AUTOMATIC HEADLAMPS".
