- I was finding it difficult to find an exact walkthrough for what I needed so I decided to make my own. Hopefully this helps everyone and if you have any questions just let me know! This is on a 2003 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 without Bose.

I have a 06 chevy Silverado
you are the only one that's talk about interface I see a tons of videos and they just install the radio and works , mine don't work so I return it to the store I get another one didn't work then I see your video you talking about the interface bought one install it and boom the radio work THANKS a lot you are a life saver
You can make it work Without the interface you would just have to run your power wire from the radio to the far left 10A fuse on your dash fuse panel directly below the big fuse blocks ( or another ignition hot source)
"start by pulling this shit off" lmao, love it.
I was having a hard time with this my self. I used a Pac system in my 99 Cadillac that has Bose sound system in it but didnt think my 03 2500 hd work truck would have to use one. Thanks for the tip saved me much frustration.
Damn I've been through 3 wiring harness thanks to parts stores thank you for the information. Now I can finish this install.
You are the f**king man! I’ve had 2 wiring harnesses thinking they were wrong harness, I have Bose but have came across no one saying you need this interface, on my way to Walmart right now THANK YOU 🙏🏽
I had the same issue with getting no power. I bought the standard harness and didn't work. I just ordered the harness from the link you put in. Thank you for the video bro. Hope this works for me
Thanks for your help I connected my new stereo on my 2003 Chevy Silverado 😊
I’ve literally done everything in this video and my radio still doesn’t have power
Do you have pictures I've tried using this and doesn't work
Thanks for the video and providing these links. My dad ordered a scoche kit for his and it was going to require a LOT of modifications to fit. Just ordered the dash kit you went with.
You need the interface because the factory radio amplifies ALL chimes, like the door chimes and all of your dummy light alarms, like ABS and other alarms. It also overrides all security from your factory radio. FYI, your factory radio CANNOT be installed in another Silverado 2500 even with the same setup. It is programed to your VIN Number
Which is hilarious, because the factory stereo from 2003 wasn’t worth stealing when new, and they are all broken by now anyway.
Trumpocalypse Now my 03 factory radio is still mint.
God bless you sir
Thanks man.....had a feeling I needed the damn interface.
Don’t need to spend money on it run the red power wire from your radio harness to brown hvac wire it’s the power
what is the interface model?

@@michaelwells9970 literally genius. That's what I was thinking
@@michaelwells9970 bro what’s your snap or insta
Your other wiring harness that you originally bought most likely had a red ignition wire that you had to install to the climate control brown solid wire in order to get power to the HU.........
Sean Pablo so wire red red and brown together?
Need a acc wire you need to run to any acc wire on fuse pannel by driver door. Get a test light easy to do dont need interface if you dont want to
Yep. Chevy's dumb data module isn't need since the headlights are auto. I just shoved a wire into the 4x4 fuse slot and ran it under the steering column to the harness. Wish Crutchfield would explain that with a $60 install kit
Or you could run a wire to a fuse splitter and just put it on your ignition fuse spot and every time you turn the ignition on and off it’ll do the same lol I’ve done that 6 bucks vs what 60? Might be a option it works just fine
I know how anal some people get about cutting into factory wiring. This was a work truck so I didn't want to go that route. However I do appreciate you offering a cheaper solution!
@@_DeathBySpeed_ my bad I meant fuse splitter it just plugs in and you connect a wire no cutting involved
Coulda just ran the remote wire to something that works off the switch. I just wanted to see if a double din would fit.
If you connect and extra red wire into your new radio harness and your wiring harness, then you take the other end to that wire and splice it into the brown AC wire
Thank you so much sir ill get back to you on how this turns out
It must not have worked out huh
Did it work?
Yes it did it works great sorry completely forgot about this lol
I have the same truck 2003 chevy silverado and I've been working on it for awhile and it hasn't been working and I was wondering if I have to have the the interface to make it work?
What size is the radio
Bro you are the man....thanks alot!!!!
Thank you!!!
I have a 04 2500,I done everything you said.The radio works fine but after a few minutes of listening to it the back of the radio gets almost to hot to touch this is the second radio I have tried and both got hot,the one I just got is a Boss do you have any idea what could be causing this.
The casing or the screen? The casing on some radios does get pretty hot, warmer than you'd expect. I've found on cheaper radios that tends to be the case. Just like an amplifier when it's being pushed.
just bought the same wiring harness did you have extra wires that werent used from the radio cables im not getting power for some reason
Did you wire in the Interface as well? The only wires I didn't use were back up camera related. Otherwise I'm pretty sure I used them all. However if you do not wire the Interface in you will get no power. I tried a standard harness and got no power but tried again with the interface and everything worked as it should.
i got it to work finally but now every time i turn the truck off the radio will go black but the volume buttons are illuminated and when i turn the truck back on the screen won't turn on but if i plug my phone in it will play the music
@@_DeathBySpeed_
The only thing I can think is miswiring. Maybe your illumination wire was wired into the wrong spot? It sounds like the radio is getting power but the illumination isn't getting the proper stable supply. I would double check the wiring, mine came with a Diagram explaining each Individual wires purpose. Cross reference that with your wiring and go from there. :)
Do you remember what the outside measurements of the new radio was?
I can't seem to find dimensions in the manual but if it helps the screen is a 6.2 inch. The radio itself is Power Acoustik ph-620sxmb.
Can you attach a link to the radio?
Where did you get the mounting brackets for the side of the radio unit?
Amazon. It's linked in the description!
Where do you connect the scotch interface
What brand interface did you use?
Whats the part number for the interface?
Hey I'm having the same issue im installing a dual touch screen and no power will go to it... its a 2005 chevy avalanche... so what exactly is that part called the door chime part ??? I've been trying to get this hooked up in my truck for like 2 months lol I've ordered wiring harnesses
An Interface. It's a small black box, I have the one I purchased and ran linked in the description.
Or just run a wire from a slot in the fuse box to the harness hot lead. Crutchfield install directions are worthless. I pushed my wire into the 4x4:fuse slot since I have two wheel drive
Great video, will it work with a 2003 Tahoe? its GMC product too.
Should be near the same
I need your help. I just got same type as yours. Can I get your contact please
What size radio is that. 7 in or the 6.5 im not trying to cut plastic either
6.2 inches
What all parts did you have to buy cause I have the same set up
Just what's listed in the description man. I bought a mounting kit, interface, and an antenna adapter.
What’s the name the harness and where did you buy it. Because I just need harness lmk !!!!
I bought it at Walmart. Link in description!
Did you install the parking break cable?
I always ground it to the radio chassis so Movies/Games can be played while driving.
What size of speakers on the front doors?
I used 6.5"
Does your truck have a Bose factory sound system or a amp?
Neither, just bottom of the barrel stuff.
@@_DeathBySpeed_ I bought a cheap kid off eBay to come with all of that stuff except the interface I hope I don't have to use it but we'll see I'll let you know thanks for the input on your video
How to turn on Bluetooth
I wired my double din radio to my 05 Silverado but now sound from speakers. Do I need the interface for that?
My radio wouldn't turn on without the interface in general but there is a possibility that you may need it. Always be sure to double check wires
Did you figure out what is was? Same thing with mine it turns on but no sound
@@jeremyvillegas572 yeah man I had one of the color wires crossed. It was a speaker wire
@@shotgun161 so you had a negative with a positive mixed up?
@@shotgun161 my bad for the questions, appreciate your help
You said you've done millions of radio installations but never a GM? Am I coloring inside the lines here
Oddly enough. I've typically kept all my gm stuff stock or not had it long enough to care.
How do you like the radio
Quite a bit! It's lasted a while and hasn't let me down
What wire is your remote wire?
I believe there may have been 2 blue wires here. One for power antenna and one for the amp turn on. It's typically a blue wire though.
Where did u buy the radio from
And do u think i could hook it up in my 2005 chevey silverado its a 1500
@@skylermonceaux8198 Bought it from Walmart a long time ago, I think the bezels are different so I'd check the measurements first.
What radio did you buy?
Power Acoustik ph-620sxmb, it was on sale so I figured I'd give it a try. Very happy with it!
Good information, but it made me seasick watching it.
I apologize, will try to mount the camera next time. If I wasn't in a hurry to get it finished I would have thought out recording a bit more.
U must havenalready had a 2 din
All of my chevy trucks have come factory with double dins.
If you really wanted to splice into stock harness it wouldn’t be that hard. Just need to find power that’s on all time. The remote power and ground. Then just wire the speakers. But $40 for interface isn’t bad. Other brands want $100-120 for one
I usually just go straight into factory wiring and don't bother with a harness but as cheap as the harnesses are now a days I just go with them. This interface was the first one I've had to purchase so that's the only reason it seemed pricey.
Brandon Worrall just picked me one up yesterday. Worked good. Wired the harness to my radio inside then went to the truck and just plugged in basically
How is the radio working out for you?
Really well actually. Not having any brightness issues, the picture is a lot better than I anticipated. It powers the speakers I put in just fine and clearly. I hooked a game cube up in my truck just for fun and it's managing well. The remote with this model is really nice as well, comfortable feel and good response. I got this on sale for no more than $60 and I am beyond satisfied with the product. It's not hyper tunable like some Pioneer stuff I've used but it for sure gets the job done in its price bracket. Also having movies playing for passengers on road trips is nice, or letting them play a game.
Brandon Worrall damn broke out the game cube
Hell yeah! Ps2 next! Haha
Nfg
BS video. Unwatchable.
Oh sorry I guess he would have to dumb it down for you a little bit huh snow flake.
How did you wire the interface in?
Color matching
