@jakebrady9609 Heated steering wheel fuse. Used a tap a fuse link from O'Reillys

@chadgrothaus1913 I had no issues once all 3 sensors were disconnected.

​@hino121212 but you DID need to disconnect them once you did the speakers only?

@@chadgrothaus1913 only when I added the subwoofer. If you're only doing the door speakers, there shouldn't be any issues. At least, I didn't.

@hino121212 excellent, and thank you for taking the time to respond. I've seen mixed input on this from reddit and the forum. I'm going to follow you from my main account, have a great new year!

@chadgrothaus1913 you too, brother. Happy new year!

@kevinr5187 not a dumb question at all. The mics pickup road noise in the cab. It counters that by pushing sound waves from the speakers to offset it. That is how active nose control works. If you don't disable it, you'll hear that sound the ANC makes at your sub. Sort of like thumping noises throughout your drive, lol. It's really loud and really annoying.

I used the Siless 80 Mil sound deadening mat on Amazon. Remove the thin plastic liner taped on the inside of v the door to gain access to the inside of the door panel. Roll the mat on to cover as much of the door skin as you can reach. I had to cut strips of the mat to make it work. You can also replace the factory thin plastic liner, but i didn't go that far. Just went direct to door skin. Pretty easy and makes a huge difference.

@@hino121212 i appreciate it

@OverwatchSIX nice! Unplugging it worked for both my Trax, but I've heard others saying it didn't for them. Your option seems a heck of a lot easier than unplugging all the mics. Good looking out!

@TheDanielTruong no they're not. Honestly, once you do a basic replacement and add a sub, I don't find the desire to amplify the doors. Sounds great as-is. You don't run wires, you use the existing wires. You would have to cut the wires run the ones closest to the stereo to your LOC, then run from the LOC to the cables that lead out the speakers. No need to run cables that are already in place unless you were getting serious and need bigger wires

@sublimeinnovations2930 good choice! I honestly didn't feel the need to spend big on door speakers. Went with the 6.75 inch kickers and got them through Crutchfield because they send you the correct brackets and harness adapters. Go to my channel to see the door speaker install video I made, and you'll see the part numbers. Though, I priced it out individually at Amazon and it was more expensive.

@sublimeinnovations2930 also, I went with a 8" Skar sub setup that is way more powerful than I ever expected. I only went with the 8 to maximize trunk space knowing well that it would be what I really wanted. Boy was I wrong because it hits very well. skaraudio.com/products/evl-1x8d2-rp-8001d-skar4-anl-ofc

@@hino121212 I did watch that video. Was unaware they send you the brackets and adaptors with speaker purchase. That’s awesome. Where are you located? I love ya work with the sub in the 2024

@sublimeinnovations2930 Fyi, it's the same process for the 2025.

@OverwatchSIX that's crazy. I have 2 of these cars, and removing all 3 sensors on each completely eliminated the anc reverb. Dealer should be able to do it at no cost, though, so no sense in messing with it yourself if you don't need to.

@fireman6x9 there's a safety lock ( a white tab) that you have to pull out before you can depress the clip release. It's exactly where you would depress the clip release but recessed in to prevent you from pushing down on it.

Eventually found it, thanks for the video and the reply. Finally finished installing a Rockford Fosgate P300-12T.

@fireman6x9 nice! My 8" sounds way better than I anticipated, so I can only imagine how good your setup kicks.

Pretty big difference on the sound. You shouldn't expect an increase in bass, but it does clean it up a lot. I added a Skar Audio 8, and it it's way more than enough.

One thing I do extra, is I add weather stripping in between the door and bracket. Helps prevent rattle.

@Silverado21 Yes, I put a really small bead (if that) of rtv on the plastic that meets the metal as I'm disassembling the door panel. It'll dry but stay soft and prevent any rattle. Should have mentioned that too in the video. Appreciate your advice!

@sampplerl8774 There are 3 mics. Drivers, passengers, and rear seats just behind the dome lights. I posted another video on that, so check my uploads.

@@rylee.milligan1695 i used one in my fusebox underneath the dash on the drivers side. Fuse 8: HSWM. I believe that's my Heated Steering wheel.

X2

@julioortiz6715 take it to the dealer to disable. I did upload a video on how I removed mine, but I wouldn't recommend it if you want to keep warranty or to prevent damages.

@@Bailacumbiarescate see comment below

Normally the SEL plus and above have the Bose speakers I believe. I have the 2022 SEL w/ convenience package and it was the same stereo as the one in the video. You would know because instead of saying “HD radio” in the top left side it would say “Bose”

@@aldosromero1918 I have a 2022 se. Basic radio, I was wondering if I would be able to replace mine with the bose radio. I have taken mine out and took a picture of the part numbers and all the plugs. Obviously I have fewer plugs, is there a way to add everything im missing and figuring out what I would be missing. Thanks

@guyreviewer105 yeah, I may do that next go, but your dealership can disable thru the obd2 without going thru the hassle of disconnecting all 3 mics in the headliner.

@guyreviewer105 I uploaded a video on this just now on how I did mine, but I still would recommend taking it to the dealer to disable.

It's amazing the attention to detail in this car. In the boot, beside the spare tire are two posts that seem they were put there just for a ground to an aftermarket amp! Maybe a qualified tech will tell me I am wrong. LOL.

@@guyreviewer105 That's what I was thinking! If only they'd put RCAs out on the headunit...

I don't have the car anymore, but it took me drilling a small hole through the firewall for the power. My ground was just a bolt near the rear seat.

Skar Audio 10". They have bundles at a very good price and will stick with them for the foreseeable future.

I have 3 in my Chevy

I have a 1RS. There are THREE mics. One beside the driver. One beside the front passenger and one between the rear passengers just behind the dome light.

@Pench07 I know this comment was made a long time ago but don't let the ANC deter you from the install. It's very easy for a dealer to disable. Takes 15 min, if that. I just disconnected them because my dealership is a bit of a drive to get to.

Sorry for the delay. No lights popped up for me at all. All equipment going strong months later.

Also, I'm not sure why you're getting that feedback. I was told it does pertain to the ANC but I haven't looked into it much. I've heard you can ask the dealer to disable the feature altogether - not sure if that would do it.

I think that's just Sat antennas and/or USB. You have to add a Line out converter to it out for rca signal. Look at the other comments for the link to the video I posted on which wires I identified for my application. Keep in mind it could be different on yours if it's not the same unit.

I can do that. I'll try to knock it out tomorrow if not by the end of the week.

Did you ever make a video on what wires you tapped in to for the radio?

@eatdemons7736 check out the last few seconds of this video. I added a photo of which wires I tapped into (front 2 doors)

Yeah, I'm aware. I'm sure it may damage it, but I've always done it like this and never had issues. Willing to take the risk at my own expense.

@bigmoneypp1640 not bragging - just for info puposes... everything is still working.

It produces a signal to your speakers that the sub picks up. It's loud and annoying

@@hino121212 thanks! My 2021 Silverado has those ports I thought were for talking, maybe they are but I never disconnected anything and it works great, could be a completely new thing on the trax now

​@maxostapchuk5416 yeah, it was a first for me too, and it scared me half to death when I first started the car up after the install. Many of the newer Chevys, like the blazer, have it too.

@@hino121212 I am just thinking that the microphone is listening for low rumbling road and engine noise so it can cancel it out. On the flip side, a bass note can also be called a low rumbling noise by grandparents. LOL.

For different speakers

No, not for the door speaker swap. I did take out the ANC plug after a added a subwoofer because it does interfere, but nothing was needed for this upgrade.

@@hino121212 ok perfect! That’s what I thought people did but just wanted to make sure it was just for the sub and not the speakers themselves, I ordered a set for my Trax!

@braden2233 sick! It does sound good, but if you're like me, you're young to want the sub. Feel free to reach out if you want details on that install! I don't have videos, but I may be able to put something together with general info.

@@hino121212 thank you!! Yeah I had plans to install a small one in trunk eventually but wanted to start easy because I know the subs are a pain especially with modern dashes. How is the quality difference? I notice the lows on the factory speakers is pretty awful, the tweeters from factory aren’t actually all that bad imo

6.5"

They are indeed 6.5" Kickers

It's worth the upgrade for sure, but don't expect to get much bass out of door speakers. What you will notice is that there's a lot more clarity and volume from the mids and highs without any distortion. Would highly recommend

KICKER - CS Series 6-1/2" 2-Way

Did you get a lot of reverb from noise cancellation mics? I changed my speakers and when I’m slowing down I hear like bass

Honestly, I'm not certain. I've not done one with the bose system and I don't have access to schematics

I did not. This is for amp install on factory stereo.

No major reason other than I like the way the 6x8 fit onto the existing mounting bracket with minor modification. 6x9 would have required aftermarket brackets, which I didn't have time for.

Yes.. I just posted another video with that info. Sorry for the late reply

Skar Audio 10 inch. Initially a kicker LOC, but switched to the Hifonics BXiPro3.0 Processor for my signal. Way better than your typical LOC.
