Thanks man - it took me about 20 videos to find someone that actually knew what the problem was. I left you a comment on your 2010 Silverado install, but this was my problem.
Mybad I didn't catch the comment on the other vid you can probably imagine I get a lot of comments
@@jptheinstallguy I have a 2009 tahoe non bose and no amplified .I just installed a new pioneer unit with this same interface got everything wired up and the radio wont turn off . Even with key out of ignition and driver door opened and closed I tried everything. Even let the vehicle sit for 20 mins came back and the unit is still on .if you have any advice on what I should check not sure if it's the pac interface or something wired wrong .if you have any help I would appreciate it
The holy grail!! I've searched forever to find this fix. Thank you for the video.
I only have 2 other problems, maybe you can answer them.
I did not clip the white wires then could not hear the driver front. Did the same with those and can now hear that speaker. However my 2 problems are as follows no Bluetooth and the sound cracks every so often when up pretty loud as if the "stock amp" or head unit cannot handle the power.
Suggestions would be greatly appreciated thank you again.
Hi I just received this message and was dealing with this exact thing. I went to my truck and followed the same steps and it fixed my issue. I’d been hearing multiple issues regarding this module but this one was not expected. Thanks so much for your information because this puzzled me for a while.
No problem
Just wanted to thank you... I was having this issue and Cructhfield wanting me to check all the speaker wiring for shorts. I ran across your video and gave it a try and seems to be working like a champ... Thanks again
Literally I was pulling every door panel off checking connections the whole 9 yards... to think it was that damn easy
So glad it helped out
Glad I found this! I followed these directions and it worked!!! I've been dealing with my radio cutting off at higher volume while listening to Bluetooth.
Great video. I was like I installed plenty of radios and never came across this until I installed a truck using the same part
Salute brother
Thank you so much we bridged accessory but didnt think to do this. radio worked just fine for a couple hours it got really distorted on the highs i thought that was just my door speakers, and eventually i think the connectors in the programmer finally burnt out. under 15 everything worked fine, above 15 volume i only got audio out of my passenger door speaker. really crisp highs from the door speakers now.
I've had my truck since DECEMBER with this issue, thank you so much I rewired the speakers and it works like a dream.. now I can justify woofers 😳👉👈
I'm so glad my vids helped you guys out ill keep putting out the content
Hey JP, love the channel your videos have been a great help. I have a question for you. I am installing a pac rp5-gm31 in my GMC 2500... what do I do with the vehicle speed wire?
Man i want to thank you SO MUCH. I was messing around and di crutchfields suggestion of trying the OEM Radio again and when I did i thought to myself "whats the difference here" and then I stared at the PAC for a while. In 2012 I had a 2010 Silverado I had wired myself no problems, but I had bypassed the audio stuff for the pac because it made no sense for the pac to even be dealing with Audio stuff.. its purpose was the retain my steering wheel functions and what not. The I watched your video.. added 2+2 and = Light turned on. The tech i had install this didnt bypass the pac with the audio. So when Id get halfway the audio would literally just crackle and sound like shit.. like blown speakers. I did the bypass and it sounded clean crisp and i could crank it with not one single problem. .. Lengthy comment but none the less thank you!! (I have the Kenwood, DMX707S)
And the RP5-GM31 PAC now looks completely different.
Bro thank you 🙏🙏 so much. Just what I was looking for. Appreciate ya
I'ma try to fix it tomorrow, I've been dealing with this problem for over a year, hopefully it'll fix it
I owe you a cold one. Could not understand why I wasn't getting much sound at all from the speakers when I knew the deck was good. Mine is in an express van with 2 speakers so I clipped whites and grays bypassing the module. "oh and if anyone asks you to do an install on a 2018 express van, just punch them in the throat" :-) Again, appreciate the short and to the point video. Huge help today from South Texas.
Yessssuh no problem I'm glad to help out if you really want to buy me a beer you can tap the donate button on my website...lol www.jpsaudio.com
@@jptheinstallguy Cold one sent.
🤣😂 bruh I tripped when I seen it come through thanks man anything else I can do to help just let me know
@@jptheinstallguy Happy to help you get your smile on man, ain't much, but if it starts a trend, well, that's a good thing. I was seriously getting irritated with the PAC module and pretty close to just putting the jinky factory am/fm back in. Well worth it on my end man. Keep doing what you do.
Thank u I thought I did the wiring wrong but nope it’s the harness like u said thank u so much!!!!!
Worked on my 08 Tahoe non amplied
Soo glad it helped
@@jptheinstallguy I have a amplified Bose system. I pulled connection for door speakers from amp and created a connection from there to tap in door speakers then connected those to amplifier. I'm still using pac But I'm not getting anything from my mids up front but tweeters work well, using components in all 4 doors. Rca's for signal I'm lost! And everything is new!
Ty this was exactly my problem and I just fixed it after watching this
I just wired my alpine up to my gmc sierra with the gm module. Once I go over the level 25, radio shuts down. If I bypassed the speaker wires and connected them directly, would I still be able to use the volume controls on the steering wheel to control the volume?
Awesome, wish I seen this video 2yrs ago but I know now thanks!
i have a Yukon-non Bose , added a 4channel amp and subs with an amp, oem stereo, about to put a double din Kenwood, do I plug it under the bose amplified or non-Bose ? and do i bypass the speakers like in the video?
Fixed the problem, thanks man!!!
Thank you for this video. Holy hell! How is it that Crutchfield doesn't know this...?
🤣😂 not gunna lie this comment felt good but honestly it's just something we discovered at our shop so I decided to share with others who maybe having the same issue
Thanks so much for this. I couldn’t figure out why my stereo kept turning off at certain volumes. Greatly appreciated 🙌🏽
Yesssssuh...lol glad I could help
Would I still be able to use the steering wheel to lower and raise the volume?
Rqq to the good bruhz …very helpful 💯
Im confused so I cut the wires and I connect them to where and do I put them in the hardness of the stereo and also do I do the same on the constant power ?
So I just hooked up the same module in my 2012 Silverado. The radio itself isn’t turning off but I am loosing sound from my speakers sometimes they all work and sometimes certain ones work and others don’t. Is that the problem that everyone is having? And will this fix the issue?
This was perfect bro this worked like a charm thank you!! Did you have to run an power accessory wire to power the unit up.mine won't work with out that wire and the rcas being unhooked up???
I just used the accessory from the module everytime cause its easier for me
Hey man i was wondering i know I don't have the bose but how would i know if i havd the amplified stereo i have an 07 gmc sierra
Great video jp.thanks brotha
Do I have to extend the wire ? In the manual it says just connect to existing wires
Is this issue happening with all GM31 interfaces or just random ones here and there? I've yet to install mine and don't want to have to pull it all back out to redo this.
I have replaced all my door speakers a new Kenwood unit and two twelve subs took out all Bose unit w/o Navi. When the truck is powered off the subs work. When I crank up my truck the subs do NOT work. 2007 Chevy Avalanche.. any idea what's going on?
Kenwood DMX125bt, Hifonix 1200, 12" kickers and the RP5-GM31.
So is this why my rear speakers are not working ?? I am not good with wires but this seems like the problem. Love your videos
So will that work on a 2007 tahoe that have the Bose system?
I have the same interfaces but i have bose my issue is it gives off the most minimal audio you can barely hear it any ideas?
Hi i install interface for cobalt ss cobalt have 6 speakers and 1 subwoofer after install rear speakers with subwoofer not working what can i do if possible pass interface and rear speakers wire connection with original wire ?
Should I still do this if I'm installing an aftermarket amp and subs?
I have a pioneer avic-z140bh and the splash screen comes on and then shuts off. I’ve checked fuses and they are all good. This is the first time this has ever happened. Any suggestions?
I have a my link In my 2014 camaro stereo with backup up camera sirrius that I'm not using and I don't have nav I want to know what I need to hook up a kenwood ,alpine ,pioneer android head unit, what all do I need
Wow what a great video bro.
Dawg Team,
I put the PAC RP5-GM31 in with a terrible radio, ended up changing to another radio but the installer said they couldn't reprogram the PAC device. Do you know how I can reprogram this device so I can use my steering wheel controls with new radio? I would hate to have to buy a new one if I can reuse this one. RQQ
Thanks! I just replaced my stock speaker and started cutting out my pioneer. I'll try this and see what happens.
You can do it!
What radio and dash kit you using?
Great video. Had a question my 2017 chevy impala does not have the bose system basic. it came with one of thos modules it a RP5- gm11 the issue I'm have is I'm hooking up a aftermarket Sony stereo I have power to the radio but no sound is coming from the speakers wires any info would really be appreciated at this time
I know this is a year old but I have the same issue. When I remove the connector from the non-amplified socket and plug it back in, the sound comes back. However, give it a few days and sound will be out again. So far the only solution that I can see is to have your speakers bypass the interface, such as shown in the video above. I'm still searching for another solution, but this will work.
I’m going to try this because I been having this exact problem. Thanks
Thanks for watching glad it helped.
***update*** bro it worked!!!! All facts!!! Thanks soooo much. I was about to buy a new deck until I watched this video!!! Now I don’t need a new aftermarket deck. Glad I found this video. Wired it exactly how you describe and now my highs and mids sound amazing!!! Thanks again. #newsubscriber
I have a 86 Toyota pickup doing the same thing I can’t figure out where it’s located or what the problem is
So what if just upgrade my speakers? Will that also fix the problem?
This worked great! But on my 2011 Buick... it seemed to have weirdly kept the xm satellite radio playing on the front right speaker (really low constant non-amplified volume).... why is that happening? Which wires on the gp5-gm31 relates to satellite radio?
hmmmm? sat should come through all speakers its just like any other music source the only thing that usually stays on front channels is bluetooth calls
Well damn, is this why I was having trouble with my accessory wire? I installed this into my pickup, and it was by no means my first install. But the radio doesn't turn off with the ignition or when I open the door. I'll rewire it and bypass the module for the speakers and see if that helps tomorrow!
Wouldn't having to find accessory power in that year vehicles hard? I couldn't find one good enough to run a dashcam. I've had to use a relay to power a dash cam, Everything was constant. The only thing that wasn't constant was too small to power a dash cam let alone a radio. I've had to do this after someone said it smells like their module is smoking and their radio keeps shutting off.
I have it connected to the amplifier side and it still cuts out… can I do the same thing in ur video so it don’t cut out
how do i fix this problem on the amp side ....... i have a amp hooked up an it does this
Can you do a video on the RP5-GM51
I bypassed the three speakers it stoped cutting off but but my steering wheel volume stoped working
Do you have a video showing how to install this to a aftermarket stereo. I'm having trouble with my 2010 silverado install and interface.
i think i have a couple chevy silverado videos but you might want to check out my how to wire a cd player video or just ask me whats going on and ill try to help
Thanks for the tips 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
💯💯
Any idea why my rear speakers wouldn’t work? I have everything wired up to spec and checked the wiring on my aftermarket amp and it’s good too
Anyone ever figure this out??
Ecellent vid. right to the point.

I've looked everywhere, where do u get those wires
What dash kit is that? Have the same truck and my dash kit fits like ass...thanks for the tip on wiring around the module
No problem 👍and the kit is a scosche gm1598
Trying this tomorrow
Great content, just liked and sub . You have any advice on this pac working with the Bose ? I can’t get no sound 15 Tahoe thanks in advance
If you have bose make sure the harness is in the amplified slot and remote wire is hooked up
@@jptheinstallguy I've got a 2009 tahoe non bose non amplified and just put a pioneer dmh -2660nex in today with the same pac interface my problem is now that it's wired up it won't turn off . Even with the keys out of the ignition and driver side door being opened and closed I'm lost on what the problem could be came back 20 mins later and radio was still on . If you have any idea on what it could be I would really appreciate it
HUGE THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!
Glad I can help
I had this installed and the radio is clipping in and out ( it will turn on and then turn off like it's a short in the wires) why is that?
Can you help me out with constant power & no rear sound in this same model? I hooked everything up correctly & still can't figure it out
I figured it out, I guess it can happen to anybody but I just had bad apple from the tree that's all. Returned it got the same one worked just fine.
I got Bose on my 08 Escalade I recently put a double din but it turns off and on
I have the interface connected but I'm not getting any power or sound🤔
I don't have a bose stereo. But I want to add a 4 channel amp for doors, and a amp for subs. How do I hook all of that up using the rp5-gm31
If you want to hook up a 4 channel on the doors just use the pac piece for power only and run speaker wire from speaker side of the harness to the amp. So don't hook up speaker wires on the pac harness. Just power
Random question so I took that purple and white wire and connected it to the purple new white wire on my Kenwood is that a good idea considering I have a factory backup cam and I’m using the cam-gm51 2018 Colorado
Or could that be the reason my radio is still cutting out
naw the purple and white is reverse so thats fine if you did this trick and the radio is still cutting out you may have other issues
I have a 2001 Monte Carlo and I purchased the same module and I did it just like u said but what do I do with the white wire. Because it still want say anything..wondering is my amp bad?
I thought it had something to do with my Pioneer flip screen when it was up as the reason for it cutting off.
Will the driver door still be as loud as the rest? And i have a six speaker non amplified so should i do 5 and not the driver do still?
It will all sound the same and don't worry about the tweeters because they should be wired to the front door speakers
I got an 03 sierra. With bose.. installed a cheap ANDROID double din. Everything seemed to work fine but now. I could ger sound out of it if it is on radio mode. If I go to bluetooth or youtube I get no sound. None at all. But if I hook up earphones to the rear concel jacks i get sound out of there but not out the speakers. Any idea what is going on???
There’s a switch on your interface module, make sure it’s set to other (alpine).
What kind of wire did you use to extend the wires (the gray and white one) size? And specific kind?
just regular 18 gauge primary wire metra makes it. you can buy it on amazon easy
@@jptheinstallguy thanks bro
do you have a video for the steering wheel control?
steering wheel controls are built into the module
How is this module with a Bose system?
I tried the Crux SOOGM-16 & the Bose plug sounds terrible, in the non Bose it sounds OK but volume level is high.
should be fine with the bose system to be honest it might sound best if you just bypass the bose amp. just my opinion because i dont like the bose system that much
@@jptheinstallguy thanks, replacing the rest of the system is on my to do list but I tow with my truck & want Android auto & bu camera pretty quick. I did buy the PAC & the sound quality is OK
Any ideas whats going on with my setup? I just installed this interface in my 07 trailblazer non bose. The radio comes on and works but when I move the interface to tuck it into the dash it glitches out power....almost sounds like a short in the interface connections...? Then by grabbing the module I can get it to come on again but as soon as i move it, it shuts off.....
Sounds like a loose connection or a short in the wire I doubt its the module but it is still a possibility make sure you don't have any wires with loose connections or tied so tight that the pin might be coming out the harness
So after talking with a tech at Crutchfield... he said it sounded like a bad connection at the interface... we went over all the other wires and connections... i told him how I thought the connections that go into the interface module were super loose and at least 2 of them wouldn't "click" into place, they just slide back out easily...so i put tape on them to secure them....he said he was sending me out another harness and to return mine...said those connections should fit better than they did....anyway, I reset the module and reconnected them using tape again and reinstalled it...the radio is now working, comes on with key, stays on now and plays music...however...now whenever I hit a bump so bump the dash I loose sound out of some speakers but not all and get a loud crackling sound from the speakers....literally hit the dash near where that interface is sitting and it changes the sound....😑 everything works but sound is cutting in/out...i guess ill deal with it until new unit shows up....
Need help on pr5-,gm11
Mine doesn’t cut out but my nav and phone calls only come through the tweeters.. it’s annoying, I can barely hear anything!
I've been watching your videos. I have an 07 escalade and I'm trying to use the pac rp5-gm31. The radio comes on everything but no sounds. What could cause this problem
Do you have the bose system?
@@jptheinstallguy I have the Bose system and having the same issues. Will rp5 gm31 not work?
@@jptheinstallguy what dash kit is that? I need exact one
Thanks 👌👌👌👌
Thanks!
🤜🏾🤛🏾💯💯
It wont connect to the factory xm in my 07 mote carlo ss
Hi JP - Thanks for the video! If the speakers bypass the RP5, do the steering wheel controls still work? Also, I spoke with Crutchfield and they said the black and yellow wires that you said you always pair up to the black and yellow with the head unit black and yellow are for SiriusXM. So I don't think those need to be wired in if the vehicle doesn't have SiriusXM. Doesn't hurt anything though.
1st thanks for watching the video and 2nd yes the swc will work if you bypass the speakers. Now as far as the black and yellow controlling the sirius xm I never heard that but the reason I always wire them is because if you look at the harness there is a yellow and black wire doubled in the harness and itsnjust safe to have it go directly from harness to harness even though there is a pair going to the module
@@jptheinstallguy Thanks for the reply. The guy at Crutchfield may have been wrong about those being for SiriusXM. I'm following your lead and wiring the same way you did!
I hooked mine up at first without your bypass solution to test it. 2007 Silverado Non-Bose. I installed the Alpine ILX-W650 head unit with the optional KTA-450 amp. The sound was clipping playing music through Apple CarPlay at full volume. Bypassed the RP5 and works like a champ. SWC work perfectly as well so no issues there. I spoke with Crutchfield and shared your solution with them so they can help others. Also, I wired in the yellow and black wires just to be safe. Thanks so much JP as I would have been at a loss without your video!
You saved me from the bullshit experience from PAC MAN, Paid 119 dollars for this interface mod. What crap to design something with this flaw, checked every wire, every video and your video was the only one that explained the issue of no sound. Everything worked but sound now I have to rewire all of the speakers directly. WHAT I don't understand is why PAC and other Tech support don't list this as a issue and TH-cam install videos should also. At least list the problem and show a alternate wiring diagram. I have a JVC radio everything worked but sound. Need the mod for my steering control to work , But even that was not clear in the wiring manual you could barely see the remote wire that needs to connect to the radio remote wire. Now it works after hours of researching everywhere to find an answer. Thanks You should retitle your video AS UPDATE. NO Sound FIX the pac rp5-gm31 issue for non bose/ non amplified systems. It might be easier to find cause that's mainly what I was look for were no sound.
After starting my truck the unit makes a click noise and I lose audio and steering wheel controls for a few seconds then another click and they come back, but the head unit screen stays on. It does this for maybe 5-10 minutes of driving then stops. Any ideas?
Every figure this out???
@@rich949687 unfortunately no, I’m just going to replace the unit.
Im not getting any sound stereo turns on i hear chime.but no audio.??? Help!?!?!
make sure when you use this harness make sure the audio plug is in the right spot for amplified or non amplifed
I have 2008 suburban non amplified I have th rp5-gm31.. radio won't even power on
Wait... how do you make your own hand sanitizer
I did all this and it work for a day then boom it cut off
if you havent figured it out yet check all your connections and make sure nothing is shorting out. mine started doing the same thing after we had briged the door speakers turned out my two whites were shorting out so i had to tape those ones up better
So if i have an amp for my subs i dont have to do this?
hi JP
i installed the same rp5 gm 31 kit with jvc double din everything works fine but the left side front and rear speakers has no sound the right side works fine. i double checked the speaker wiring for the left side and they are weird correctly.
anyone knows what can cause this issue?
