Only option is , if low mileage, talk to the GM customer service people. Otherwise take it to a good local car audio place and they should be able to do it for less than $200

Here's your answer. Your amp is not getting power. there is a conecction under your carpet that goes to the rear or the vehicle , it's about at th emiddle of th ecar on th eright side, the coecction is prob corroded due to condensation. What we did is ran a new power supply to the amp and bingo we have radio. before figuring this out we changed the radio, we changed the amp , we removed the carpet completely and checked the wires and connections. after all this we put it all back and still the same radio works but nbo sound and no door chime, we then tested power to amp and bingo we found th esiple yet hard to find answwer.....GOOD LUCK>

Can you be a little more specific on where that connector is? I have the same problem and I would love to get this fixed. Thanks! You might just be a life saver!

Well to start you first off have to remove seats, center console, and trims to remove carpet. once done the connection is halfway down the car on the right sid ejust behind driver seat, sits just at the center pillar area. ...... Now the easiest way is to rewire a power connection off the ignition to turn on amp. you can get this done at a stereo shop . if not once you have access to conection you can clean out and silicone spray so no water gets in. the reason why it was coroded is the cabin filter sometimes does not fit in correctly and water come in from outside through the cabin filter. ......... does this help you any.

Phew! That helps alot! I will have to find someone to do this for me. I might be able to do simple but this is beyond me. It might also explain why sometimes my passenger floorboard is moist. Thanks!
