Please let me know how much you would charge. I will be willing to assist as much as possible Thanks. what exactly are you having trouble with?? installing it from start to finish, or simply bypassing it? either way save your money! --if your looking to install it, you can buy a wiring harness for ur chevy. circuit city, best buy, places like that (or online) sell them vehicle specific, and on the wrapper it tells you wat each color wire is...simply match them up with the wires from the unit (the installation manual from the d3 tells you as well). it costs you AT MOST $20, and its very simple. plus ud be spending more if you paid some1 else to do it lol --if your looking to just bypass the unit, look for the light green wire on the d3 harness. push it off to the side for now....then on another harness youll fid a black and yellow wire...thats the mute wire...take a pin or anything with a sharp point (ive done it with a pocket knife) and pull the pin out of that hole, and put it in the hole directly behind it....now, take the black/yellow wire and the light green wire, and take 2 T-Splices. splice the 2 wires together, leaving one longer, and then splice that longer one to the solid black wire. its much easier and much cleaner than grounding it to the vehicle.....any questions jus send a PM.

OhioTexan Posted June 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks for replying CatchMeIfYouCan631 ... Looking for assistance with installing and bypassing. I've done (1) non-stock radio install, but don't trust my skills enough to open up my Trailblazer's dash . Then installing a new AVIC-D3 and having a non-professional appearance. Then attempting to do the by-pass . So debating if I have Best Buy install ... then my understanding is I would have to pull dash panels [again] to do the bypass. I do I.T. for a living os have some technical skills ... its more of the mechanical part of taking dash apart - getting the D3 installed correctly - etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
