XM radio problem in 2003 GMC Sierra by waldon
Sep 25, 2008 (11:11 am)

An issue developed in the XM only portion of my Delphi/Bose system a month ago when I ran my battery down to zero. I installed a new battery just yesterday.
I only can get 4 XM channels, preview, 130, 143 & 247. I have been on the phone with XM folks a number of times (8-10) and they've resent the signal, reset my reciever on their end (3 times last night) to no avail. I wonder if there might be a master reset or something within my truck or..................?
Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.

Have you tried removing the radio's fuse(s) to reset the system. Let them disconnected for at least 1-2 minute for the radio/XM receiver fully dead then put the fuse(s) back on. Battery connection/disconnection sometimes causes initialization problems. But they can help correcting the system as well
 
Good luck

Replacing door speaker by samthecrewman

I have a 2000 Sierra and the right side door speaker is driving me crazy. It is apparently cracked and needs replaced. Is there an easy way to access the speaker? Any help would be appreciated.

i want to swap out my factory head unit for an aftermarket mp3 player but although i have installed stereos before, my new truck seems to prove a little more challenging... i hear i need to bypass my original stereo and that it must remain in the truck for the computer to function? how will i get the stereo i want installed in my truck?

A good car stereo shop charges around $125 to install a head unit. Might be money well spent. Pass-lock feature disables your stock head unit rendering it useless unless reinstalled on your truck. Makes it useless in case a thief steals it. Then again let them take the stock system.

is it true that the factory head unit has to stay in the truck in order for the computer to function correctly?

The factory head unit can be removed and the bcm needs to be reprogrammed. From what I recall you need a wiring harness for the aftermarket stereo to plug into the GM harness and I think that's about it.
