Replying to: feras99 (Jan 15, 2008 10:28 pm) Alright here's the scoop. All chevy's with factory nav have the Bose System from the factory and that is factory amplified sound system. The reason the sound is not very loud is you are missing the amplifier that is normally amping up the outputs from the nav unit. To fix this problem them there is one easy way and that is an aftermarket 4-channel amp. And the back up camera is another easy one. Yes it can be done. Most reputable customs shops can do this. It requires a special interface that can be quite costly though. Also the truck will have to take a trip to the dealership afterwards to be reflashed and have the camera function turned on. Honestly in my opinion an aftermarket dual-din in-dash DVD player would have worked way better for what you are doing. It would fix the audio, have an input for the back up camera already, be upgradeable, sound better, look better, and cheaper. But that's my opinion. Anyways any other questions just post'em up.

#108 of 160 2002 Sierra - retrofitting homelink by robmik2000 Jan 17, 2008 (10:09 am)
I've searched all over this forum and a couple of others without any luck -- hope someone here can help me.   I've a 2002 Sierra extended cab with the long overhead console in the roof. It currently has the slot to hold a single portable garage door opener, but I want to replace that with the GM 3 button homelink module. I picked up a used homelink module and have removed my console, however the homelink module has 3 wires (orange, black, and brown), while my old console only has the orange and black going into it. Can someone tell me what the brown wire is and if there is an easy way to connect this up?   Thanks in advance for any help.   Mike Replies to this message: bpari005 (Jan 17, 2008 2:04 pm) jimvz (Jan 21, 2008 6:55 am) obyone (Jan 21, 2008 3:35 pm)

Replying to: robmik2000 (Jan 17, 2008 10:09 am) Rough guess on those wires would typically be orange- 12V constant/ brown ACC+ / and black ground-

Replying to: robmik2000 (Jan 17, 2008 10:09 am) Mike, I have a 2004 Sierra with the long overhead console. Were you able to find a replacement overhead console with the built-in homelink? If so where? I have called my dealer to price one and they claim they were not available, but I know better than that. Any suggestions as to where to fine one, parts numbers, approx price etc would be greatly appreciated.   ~Jim Replies to this message: obyone (Jan 21, 2008 3:35 pm)
