Default help with my Tahoe

Hi there, anyone with a hookup or insight in DFW?????


I have a 04 Tahoe LT with Bose system and onstar and I want to install an aftermarket unit that has an ipod connection and all that extra stuff my wife wants, I dont know what harness I need to get so that all the chimes, the steering wheel controls and onstar continue to work.

please enlighten me on what i need to get to install this. I went to Car Toys locally and they quoted me 350 for the harness and all the stuff i needed which i think its a little outrageous.

on the web I have found a couple but Im confused as to what works best.
any help is greatly appreciated.
David

Sounds a little high but not too far off. If its the same harness that get used in my impala, then the chime retaining harness is $100+ and the steering wheel control harness is about the same.

Look for your harness PN's here http://www.metraonline.com/vfg and then just search for them on ebay.



Was that $350 with install or without?

so i ordered the GMOS 100i, as far as I can tell from the description it seems like that is all I will need to have the chimes working and retain the steering wheel controls. Can anyone here confirm this for me please.

I also bought a dash kit and and a harness that was recommended to install the above interface device.

so far as per the instructions it doesnt seem hard to install.
