Just a few tips. Some harnesses include a steering wheel control output right at the harness. Others you may need to go to the steering column. Still its a single wire plus power and ground so its not to tough to hook up. The instructions can be confusing the first read through but read em again and should get the hang of it. The biggest thing i can stress is to program the interface while the vehicle is running. When i installed and programmed the unit the first time with the vehicle off i had problem with buttons not responding or responding slowly. When the vehicle is running th

What type of interface are you using? There is probably a loop wire that needs to be cut.

Thanks for the pic. It looks great.

Does anyone have pictures of the dash kit they used on a avalanche/tahoe/suburban?

or anything better than 480i, so it is pointless. Might as well get a regular old tv tuner and skip the bulky converter that does nothing.

Well thats a disappointment. I was hoping to have a fully integrated solution. Apple has failed.

Has anyone confirmed full functionality with the avic f series (control, plus video and audio)? It never even crossed my mind till now that the apple composite cable is a percent match for the f series. Before everyone spends $50 plus tax we all know they can be had for a few bucks ($10) less over on the ebay and amazon. Keep us updated. Thanks

I think there is a misunderstanding. I want to cut off the female rca connectors from the avic harness (white connector/rca harness) and cut off the male ends from my rca cables and strip them and then solder the two together so that the rca ends (red and white) are bypassed.

So i intend on picking up an f-90bt in a short while (once a few things clear up). I had a d3 in my last vehicle. In my new vehicle i will install an amplifier which uses the pre-outs from the avic. In the name of efficiency and customizing the cable length and keeping the harnesses as compact as possible behind the dash, i want to solder the pre amp outputs from the avic to the cables that run to the amplifier. Basically trim off the rca jacks from the avic and the cables i will use and solder the two together, heat shrink and then tape up, just like every other wire back there.

I didnt realize how many GMT-900 owners were on the forum. Does anyone have any pics of a new f series in a 07 or 08? What kind of harness(es) did anyone use? PAC, peripheral, axxess, scosche?

precisely.

...yeh....yeh ur right....what was i thinking....but that didnt answer the question well im not a fan of neon either but you didn't ask for opinions on neon. The only thing i can think of is to hook up a relay to the detector and power of the neon. Depending on which detector there may be multiple ways. I know with a valentine one there are outputs that may be able to be used. Some units has a headphone output port which may be able to be used as well. Give me an exact model number and i may be able to be more help. Another thing to consider is that detectors are prone to lots of

Good to hear! (no pun intended) Where did you mount your mic? F series has a built-in mic, no? No. External. Looks like the on that came with the BTB-200, and it plugs directly in the back of the F series

lol you're crazy google has the number one rated maps I'm not talking about using a google website, like the search engine or google maps... I'm talking about actual programs, like google toolbars or google widgets or google internet optimizer or other "helper" software that seem to be packaged or backdoored with a lot of downloadable freeware these days. That shit is everywhere. You just named all the shitty software they make. They have some great stuff available as well... Web based as well as hard drive based. I think google has a great team of developers who do some some damn go
