I tried searching for this but i couldn't find anything. im in the process of installing the f90bt in my 2005 silverado. i have everything wired up correctly but im not getting any sound at all. im puzzled. i double and triple checked all of the wiring for the speakers and it's all 100% dead on but i still get nothing. can someone please help maybe there's a setting that needs to be changed? i had sound when i wired the switched power wrong and put it to a constant and it played sound with the ignition off but not on.

anyone please?

im sorry to tell you, but i can guarantee you 100% for sure that you do NOT have all the harness wires connected properly. either that, or you don't turn up the volume knob at all and its at zero. have somebody doublecheck the wires. especially the blue "power antenna" wire. you do have ALL the wires connected right? and did you connect it into a harness or into the stop harness by splicing the wires???

what's up with the blue power antenna wire? i didn't use it because i have no power antenna? i have all the speaker wires done correct i know because i used the GMRC-01 and the speaker wires are simple and i matched up all the others from the avic to the corresponding from the harness. i got the power wires all set switched and constant the vss is connected where its supposed to be, the reverse is good. and i did the bypass and grounded the parking brake. i tried to check and make sure the mute wasnt on but thats good too.

LOL, dude im gonna try to put this without trying to to make this funny. and please excuse my humor here. LOL

everyone that is reading this is probably laughing their ass off. im assuming, this is your VERY FIRST install ever made. im saying this with all due respect, but buddy...u MUST connect the blue power antenna to the blue wire you have left. the blue power antenna turns everything on and lets the sound travel to the speakers!

its NOT if you have a power antenna, but it is to get EVERYTHING turned on and powered up. I understand you have the vss, reverse, brake, and blah blah blah connected perfectly, but trust me....CONNECT THAT POWER ANTENNA WIRE TO THE BLUE WIRE YOU HAVE LEFT OVER and EVERYTHING will work!

i promise! let me know how it works out for you. and good luck

P.S. connect it to the blue power antenna, NOT the remote antenna that has a weird looking connector and some clear silicone protective around it (thats for your subwoofers)

connected the wire. still no sound. any other suggestions?

Some vehicles have built-in amplifiers, which connecting the blue wire should resolve. Other than that, I would get a schematic for your specific vehicle and see if there's anything else that you could have possibly missed. Then maybe get a professional to look at it.

...I'm pretty sure you're not the first person to install this thing into a Silverado... SOMEBODY should be able to chime in with a better answer.

are you sure you connected the blue wire to the power antenna, the simple wire, and not the remote power antenna (the complicated wire with the connector on it? that should do the job. if not, you wired something else wrong too.

there're two wires outa the avic. the system remote control and the antenna control. i connected the wire from the harness to the antenna control but my trucks factory plug has no wire going to that pin so it goes no where.....

Does it turn on and no sound, or not turn on at all? Possible blown fuse on your ACC power? Happened to me on my install just last week.

turns on and everything works, just no sound. i called pioneer this afternoon and the dude told me there was something wrong with the unit and to send it back, so i called sonic where i got it and they told me 3-5 buisness days and someone will call me about returning it... kinda sucks considering my truck's all apart and what i would call not driveable and they just take their time.. mothereffers

yeah dude thats what happened to me. in my f90 the bluetooth module was burned out, so i had to ship it back! i first had to ship it in, and then wait for a replacement.

dude....i was driving for 15 days without any sound in my car and a big hole in the dashboard. get used to dealing with the f90bt, or just return it. thats what i did. so now im gonna get a d3 or wait for the new kenwood or wait n hope for pioneer to improve the f90bt

i wish i did research first.... haha

i wish i did research first.... haha

Did my research, decided on the f90bt as the best bang for the buck. I have had no problems. I don't see why the bluetooth would have anything to do with having no sound. It has to be a wiring issue, somewhere one is loose, or incorrectly installed, or a bad ground somewhere.

trouble shooting 101

(1) get a small test speaker(that you know works) and make sure there is sound comming out of the head unit, if not problem solved - bad headunit

(2) get an AA battery and connect wires to the ends then touch the wires to each pair of speaker wires (with out anything hooked up to the harness) if the speakers make a small "POP" then the problem is between the radio and the factory harness (most likely the intergration module) if you dont get a small pop, you probably have an amp that needs to be turned on, or blown speakers (i would lean toward the first one because the chances of blowing all the speakers at the same time are slim)

(3) do you have the factory BOSE system? if yes check #2

(4) do you have onstar? if yes are you sure that it wasnt activated causing the radio to be muted

i dont think there's anything wrong with my blutooth so i dont see that being an issue. im going to un solder the harness and start all over with the wiring and maybe i did miss something somewhere. i have no bose. and no onstar. when the unit is powering up when i turn the key the speakers crackle a tiny bit then ..nothing.

either one of the speakers is grounding out or the unit is shot

speakers worked fine with the stock unit, so maybe the unit is shot? i went to a local audio shop today and they said they'll go over it on monday and double check my wiring for $20 so im going to have them do that and either way i still have the rga coming to exchange the unit.

yeah your best bet is to just go ahead and exchange the unit. i think its the actual unit. if not, then its def your harness. have them doublecheck the harness and then see whats going on

i fixed it

well would you mind saying what you did so that others that run into such problem will know what the problem was. let me guess, the harness?

lol ya i was going to i just didnt have time earlier i was too excited. ok so on the gmrc-01 there's a red wire that says 12v power and i looked up online when i was installing it and the info said that went to a 12v switched ignition so i tapped that into the switched power in the factory harness and then hooked up the red acc wire from the unit to that wire. and that was my problem because i remember having sound at one point so i un did that and just soldered the two red wires from the gmrc-01 and the red acc wire together and wouldn't you know that it works perfectly . it was just way more simple than i wanted it to be haha guess when i was doing it the first time i over thought it just a little too much.

oh, so basically you never used a wire harness to connect it to, but instead tapped into the original wire harness? is that what you said?

no i used the wire harness but um idk how to explain. on the gm interface for the dinger there're 4 wires and one of them is red and it wasnt attached to anything the other 3 where connected into the female end of the harness that goes to the factory wiring so i figured with it being red that it had to go to a power source so i tapped it into the switched power on the factory wiring. where it should have just gone to the red acc from the pioneer.
