Been having issues with my 2015 Camaro now for months! Just came across this video/comments and tried cutting the white wire and it worked!!!
Man THANK YOU so much for posting this video and helping so many of us not break the bank with Chevy to have this fixed.😂 May God bless you for being a blessing to us!
I have the same problem is your radio still working since you cut the white wire?
Cutting the white wire did not work for me but replacing that silver box WORKED!!!I I want to thank you so much to the person that posting the item # for the radio transmitter and telling us to go to eBay. I bought The transmitter for $70 I paid $30 to install and Chevy dealership charged me $125 to unlock my radio. I am so happy to have my radio working along with my A/C. At the end of my misery these issue was affecting lots of electrical parts in my car. Thank you so much🙋🏻
Norma Uribe do you know the item #?
What is the item number? I cant find the comment your referring to :-/
What is the item number?
I replaced the silver box and I got the sounds working but my stereo and A/C panel still does not work at all
What’s the part number ?
A million thanks!!!!!! I was 2 days away to take my car to have it fixed ...was going to pay at least minimum $200!!...tried disconnecting battery didnt work..but this did ...wow...thank u so so so so much for posting it and im so happy I found your video!!! 🤗😁
first of all! Thank you so much bro. I had months whit having the problem on my 2015 camaro I came across this video an BINGO I cut the white wire an seems to worked so far i haven't had any issues whit my radio anymore!! Thanks lots
I followed these instructions and my radio is back and working! thank you!
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
My radio and display stopped working and I found this video and cut the white wire and it actually worked - incredible!!!
Did that repair work long term?
I understand this does not work in all cases but it worked for me. Cut the wire and reset the computer a week ago and it’s working perfectly. If it didn’t I was just gonna buy a dash kit and put an aftermarket radio in it since an oem one along with a dealership unlocking it is a similar cost. Thanks for the video this is definitely worth trying as a first course of action. Saved me hundreds.
The GM engineer never told me what it is for. And I never asked all I know I have done this at lest 10 times at the dealership and it always fixes the problem.
Tried it last week it worked perfect my radio and ac working like new. Thanks for the video.
No problem I am happy it worked for you and if did not work just reconnect the wire it is a no brainier.
I wonder what the white wire is for.
I was told it is a communication wire to BCM for GM not needed for the function of anything. Other than short out in the BCM and kill the radio and climate control.
This worked! Kicking myself for not doing this a year ago on 2013 2LS when problem first started. Thanks for this, really appreciate it.
No problem I'm glad it works for you
is yr stereo still working?? i also have a 13 2ls
jr Salazar mine is still working. I have the ‘13 2LS, November will be two years since I cut the wire..
Thank you!!! I fix it and I save a lot money!!
The dealer charge me like $600 bucks to fix it ,. Thank you man 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
What year model is your car I have a 2014
What year is your car
2014
Wow. I have a 2013 and for the past 2 months it’s been buzzing and cutting off every time I drive. Thought might as well give this a try since there’s nothing to lose and boom. It worked. Super easy, perfect solution. Thanks man
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
@Mjturi12 which 2013 Camaro do you have? I have a 2LS just wondering if it’ll work for me..
Dude ,I just tried it and it worked.All seriousness. No trolling , it worked for me. I was worried about cutting wires but I felt i could resplice it if it was a bad joke.thanks again.
No problem glad I could help.
Does it still work till this day?
Guys this worked. I can’t believe it. My car has been like this since may of 2017. Thank you thank you thank you!
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
Thanks for helping out. But I'd still like to know what the wire does that is being cut. It must have some purpose.
It is a communication wire to BCM for GM and North star only will not effect anything in your Camaro.
Eben Ham does it still work till this day?
@@kjdcomp1 source???
I just did it. And so far it works. A simple fix. Thanks a lot. Make sure you guys cut the right white wire.
I'm glad it worked for you
kjdcomp1 Thanks man you were a big help! Is yours still working?
Why You Trippin' Deebo it’s been 8 months since I cut mine and it’s still working fine, I haven’t had a problem since.
Have you had any problems yet
Quagmire Nope. Still works.
thank you so much after 3 days of possessed radio, wonderful you tube people who share saved me again and I snipped the far left white wire, this totally worked in my 2015 chevy camaro ls took ten minutes while having a cup of tea....back to normal
It worked for me but make sure you tape the wire ends after you cut them so that the metal from the panel doesn’t connect the the cord you just cut & re installing the radio is a Pain the alignment angles suck balls but great vid it Helped me
Omg! It worked thank you soooo much I’ve been without a stereo for 3 years!
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you.
Has it went out again since then?
has it been wrking since ??
I’ve been having no radio for 4 years and no working A/C as well.
@@mauriliojuarez3064 after cutting the white wire? My radio has gone out once in awhile will come on then go back out..n the FL flickering
Heyyyyy it worked for me too! Thank you, I didn’t snip it though, I disconnected it with a needle.
Thanks again
That is the right way to do it but i figured it was easier for most people to cut the harness back and snip the wire, so they could damaged the connector.
Ahmad Dorbakhsh how did you find pin 18?
If you pull connector out and you are looking at the back of it ware the wires go in it will be at the lower right.
kjdcomp1 Hi, I want to have a remote start on my 2013 Camaro, preferably on my factory remote. I would like to know your opinion about the easy and cheap way. Thank you
Disconnected with a needle??
If you’re afraid to snip the wire I did this for my 2015 Chevy Camaro all I did was disconnect the battery for about 5 minutes and it gave the whole car a reboot and sure enough my radio was working again
This is very lame that this is happening to so may people. Chevy needs to step up and fix this for people without charge. I am going through the same issue as well. Except I had my AC fixed which cost $1,300.00 then within a week my stereo started cutting out and powering on and off, 20 times or more within 30 minutes of driving. I am contacting the service manager at Chevy today to see what can be done.
Info same bs happening here 2015 Camaro wat is the fix
It worked ! Thanks
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
Hell yeah it worked! Thanks alot
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
Reading the comments. Lol. Y'all not defusing a bomb
this dude the GOAT!!
THE ACTUAL FIX
YOU NEED A NEW RADIO BOX ( silver box)
I had the same issue and it fixed it
Thank you so much!!!!
I tried removing the negative battery and it worked for a day or 2 and then it cut off again , after A while every time I removed the negative the radio would stay on for 5 seconds. I cut the white wire like this video said and my radio is working perfectly. Going to upgrade to the mylink touch soon
I'm about to do the same thing cause I'm sick of my car radio doin this shit my 2015 started this shit last week I'ma snip this wire to and then Christmas I'm getting a touch screen installed with best buy
Worked on my 2013 camaro LS with a manual transmission, it still likes to spit the CD on start up, any thoughts?
Thank you!!
I never use the radio (which has always been glitchy since I bought car in 2021, anyways), but I always use the AUX function and just play music off my phone. Might the AUX be similarly affected? 2012 Camaro.
What is the white wire for? The data bus? This is the only trouble I’m having with my 13 2LS. Guess I have nothing to lose I’ll give it a try
I figured it out my ppl. Go to a junk yard or buy another receiver of ebay (the gray big box) you might need to get it program to your old face plate but sometimes the old receiver burns that out too. But I took it to a Chevy dealer to program it for my old face plate. Receiver =105 programing =89.95.
Fast Lane21 doing this fixed the issue of the radio going in & out?
My 2013 Camaro ls2 is having a problem where when I turn on the ignition it flickers on and off for the ac controls and whatnot. But the radio doesn’t flicker at all. But after like a couple min or so it’ll start up ready to go. But after awhile of driving It’ll cut out and not be as loud as before. Then when I turn off the car and put it into accessory it cuts out immediately. Thoughts?
This fixed should help you
I did it and not much of a difference.. Whats is the bcm?
I clipped the wire and it worked like normal again, but only for about a week then it was right back to the same problem. Now what can I do? Anybody know?
Buy a new radio receiver
Is it the same steps for a 15 camaro manual?
Same problem here. I am getting ready to try this fix. My question is though, what is the white wire for? It must be doing something. Is cutting it creating another problem? Thanks for your help KJD.
Thanks. Will try it soon. Just getting the guts to do it.
Didn't work. Such BS. I knew it was too good to be true.
Eben Ham I did it too. The A.C. works but radio still shot every 10 min
2015 Camaro LS 6-speed. Radio went possessed overnight. Wire cut fixed it, can't be more happy. The aftermarket radio solutions for these look pretty cheesy.
Hey I just replaced the radio now it’s on but it’s locked how do I unlock it??
@Kjdcomp1 Do you know where the bmc is located on a 13 Camaro?
It is under the steering wheel. I already bought a new bcm and it did not do anything to this issue
my camaro radio knobs/station buttons don’t work and also my a/c , would disconnecting the white wire do the job or what you think ?
It takes 15 minutes so I would give it a try
what takes 15 minutes?
So a week ago my 2010 Camero started doing this, but my climate control isn’t working at all. I’m bout to go try this, shit if it don’t work it can’t be any worse than what is going on now. And since it stopped working when I had my heat on. The heat is on in the car always. And I stay in San Diego so this shit has to get fixed soon.
Would this work for an SS? Also, do you disconnect the battery after doing this?
yes and yes
my camaro 2014 radio makes a poping noise then it shuts off any ideas?? Thank you
I did it on my sister's Camaro RS and didn't work oh well she needs a new aftermarket radio lol
Life saver it actually works lol
Snipped the 18 wire and it seemed to make the issue worse. Any other suggestions on what I can do?
you more than likely did not snip wire on pin 18
Wow really..that wire has to connect to something?
Hello, can you tell me exactly what this white wire controls? I saw where someone said it is a communication wire for gm or northstar. Did they mean Onstar? I have the Onstar and XM radio and want to make sure it doesn’t affect that. My dealer said the diagnostic code showed an antenna fault, but I don’t think that is it. They said I would have to replace that first at $450 and if that didn’t fix it, then replace the radio at $800
It is a communication wire to BCM for GM and North star only will not effect anything in your Camaro.
kjdcomp1
Thanks! I'm going to try it.
Thanks! This seems to have fixed my problem!
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
does your hazards lights worked after cutting the white wire??
Does this work? I'm about to re solder my bcm. But if this works I'll do it.
Cort Stansbery did it work
it has nothing to do with the wire. it is a programming issue, you will have to bring it to a GM dealer and get it reprogrammed. i've had this problem when i bought my car and got the whole radio replaced and then after 2-3 years it started the same problem again. i cut the wire finally and it doesn't do it as often, but whenever i slide on ice or my tires slide and the traction control comes on then the radio cuts out. the only fix is to either keep replacing the radio every so often or do what i'm gonna do and just get a 6th gen soon.
Should I cut the other white one too? Radio comes on after a min but stays on. There is still a delay
Scent Mack No just the wire on pin 18.
kjdcomp1 thanks.
what is that white wire for? will i get other issues in the long run? the flickering on and off on my radio just started about 3 days ago on my 2014 camaro
It is a communication wire to BCM for GM and North star only will not effect anything in your Camaro.
kjdcomp1
It works! Thank you 👌
No problem.
carlos flores
How does it work my radios is doing the same thing is going off
I snipped the white wire a year ago and I still have no stereo. The AC fan goes up and down by itself, all the lights flicker nonstop but not one sound or light on the LED screen from the stereo. I’d like to know why GM did not do a recall on this issue. They are well aware of it!
It is not a safety issue.
I tried this and still didnt work. I cut the white wire closest to the driver side and nothing happened.
Hey I just cut the further left wire it did not work .. there are 2 white wire though could it be another wire? .. i have a 2014 Chevy Camaro ..
teamrko9662 it has to be the wire on pin 18 you can't cut just any wire that's white.
Okay I’ll give it another shot and let you know my results
Okay really fast how do I find pin 18 I have no idea what I’m looking for ..
Sheltbreezy this is probably too late but is you count the pins you’ll see that the 18th pin is the very last pin/tiny square
I have that problem with my camaro too and I'm willing to try this but what's that white wire for? It must be important for something
Will this work on a 2014 LT??? Also did anyone else also have the sound of the turning signals turned off while the radio goes off like mine??? I can see the signal lights flashing I just can’t hear it anymore when the radio turns off
Yes if done correctly it will work.
Mine does the same @bandsofgabi
Okay I cut the wire on pin 18 it didn’t work..I have a 2014 2ls base model could it be another wire? Or I need a new radio in general..
I will not work on base model radio has to be same radio as in video.
It’s the same radio .. I got a new radio I will be installing it in the morning. I just ordered it from Chevy cost me 500 bucks ..
Did you ever get this fixed?
kjdcomp1 what exactly do you mean by base model? i seem to have the same radio as you, but I’m not quite sure what a bass model js
What does cutting the wire do?
Is the wiring the same for a 2013 camaro ls?
2010 to 2015 so yes
Where is the bcm located on a 2013 camaro?
In the dash under the steering wheel.
I have a 2013 s, I clipped the Whitt wire and now nothing works on display. Also notify some melted wiring in loom.
You have a harness problem.
i did do this. my ac stopped flickering and is working totally fine , but radio still doesn't work. It's still totally bank. another advice about that?? Thanks
Yes you need a radio. This fix is only for radios that flicker and pop not dead radios. But at least you have AC now.
By new radio do you mean face plate or the silver box behind the face plate
I would have a audio shop install aftermarket radio the factory silver box is stupid money.
Check fuse no.15 blue
My climate control fan speed flickers on and off but it’s actually changing the fan speed and I can’t get it to stop. By cutting that wire will it stop the fan speed from doing its own thing?
Dose the radio work intermediate also? If it does then yes.
@@kjdcomp1 My radio/infotainment never stopped working. Just my fan speed, it keeps showing in the screen flickering on and off and it makes the fan speed for the climate control go crazy.
It might work for you it's not that hard to do and it can always be reversed If it's not working correctly.
@@kjdcomp1 ok thank you
Can any explain the white wire and what it does
Would it be possible to use the panel kit without the radio ?
No the radio is Incorporated with the panel.
I tried this and it worked, stop acting weird whiling driving, still spits out CD's on start up of the vehicle and the max heat setting will turn off the radio visually, audio will still be heard, NOT THE BLOWER, heat control. ON MAX ONLY
You probably need a new blower amplifier if your blower is working on high speed only. Hope this was a help.
@@kjdcomp1 It works on any resistance speed of the blower, the problem is with the climate control when its put to max heat, the radio visually fades out.
It didn’t work for me. Cut the wire all the way over to the left still having the same issue.
Do I have to disconnect the battery? Any help would be appreciated!
No that is not necessary to disconnect battery.
@@kjdcomp1 why reply to all the people saying thanks and to simple questions like this but no replies to the ones saying it didnt work ???
@@Mikeyouthere 99% of the time when it dose not work it is because they did not snip the wright wire or it is not the same problem.
It didn't work on mine. I reconnected it and the ac works fine. But now the radio is dead.
So this will only work on the ls models ? No Lts...
yes
Works for 2015 Camaro LS
Can you tell me why this problem happens on all the 5th gen Camaro radios?What does the white wire control or disconnect when cut?
Nobody knows lol
@@redflint7651 Someone knows.The scam artist at GM.
It’s and “enable” signal wire according to the schematic
Does this work on locked radios?
No
Will this work on a 2013 2LS model?
Yes
kjdcomp1 thanks so much! I’m gonna do it this weekend!
kjdcomp1 so I just did this and it 100% works, thank you so much! It’s been driving me crazy for over a month!
I Havnt cut the cord yet but my radio has been blinking and the music / radio will randomly stop when Im driving. The A/C works fine and all even when the radio is off.
Is this the same issue you had before you cut the wire?
I have a 2015 2LS camaro
Yes the same issue.
Tried it the ac works but the radio still isn’t working
Same thing happend to me
Same thing happened to me
I tried it o my camaro. Did Not Work!
Alex Sosa worked for a day and then came back :/
04/14/19 tried is 2013 LS 1 did not work. Diagnostic on Monday 😪
Norma Uribe any update on the diagnostic& price if u got it fixed?
@@jarrengladden7922 500 bucks
2015 camaro here, did not work :-( thanks tho
My white wire is in a different spot. It's on the 7th pin in the middle left side. There's no wires connected to the 17 or 18 pins. I'm afraid to cut it. What should I do? I have a 2011 1LT V6
Bill King you have the base model radio it won't work on that
Bill King how do I count the pins?
I did this but still no luck. At least my air is blowing cold air now though
I am glad it fixed your AC it will not fix a broken radio only if it is flickering and popping.
Did not work, what could I do to fix? Please help.
Then you have a bad BCM.
I cut the wire (performed excorsism) The fan and AC are back working but radio is permanently out. Anyone else have this issue?
If the radio was out before this will not bring your radio back it was only meant for radio's that flicker on and off if your radio did not have that problem and was completely dead this fix will not work sorry.
@@kjdcomp1 radio was acting the same way as AC, going on and off. Couple days after I cut the white wire, my AC went back to being on and off. But this time it's off more than on, and the AC setting is set to full heat. I am gonna keep working on this.
How it go bsck in
I checked and mine doesn't have a white wire.
Ummmm..... that IS NOT the solution. That little ole wire is the LAN communications between the radio, the control head, and a dozen other modules on the network. You're not going to find the problem without an oscilloscope, a multimeter and a schematic. Something is collapsing the CANBUS. Once you can see the CAN Signals on a scope, you can start unplugging modules, till the CAN Signal becomes active again. Usually its something as simple as a corroded connector contact but, even if its a bad module, most of the modules are specific to the VIN number and a replacement would need to be programmed. Instead, invest in a soldering iron, open the module, and fix the defective solder joint or component yourself. With a little electronics know how you can save thousands of dollars and help out your family and friends. I've spent 20 years in the GM/Delphi/Mahle Advanced Systems R&D Group and see this type of approach used all the time by guys that don't understand network communications on vehicles. Best wishes.
This will not work if you have base model radio you must have the same radio in video. If you have base model radio have it replaced with a after market radio and that is the most cost effective way to repair your problem.
Is the 2014 camaro ls base model ??
@kjdcomp1 ...What can i do if the radio say locked?
What do you mean? This looks like the base model radio, the basic kind that comes with the car.
I cut that cord and my radio still doesn’t work. Would getting a new radio remedy the situation?
No BCM
kjdcomp1 How would I replace the BCM? Could I do it myself?
Do not replace the bcm, I bought a brand new one and it did nothing to help the problem. BCM is under the steering wheel and you need to have special software to re-program a new one if u do that. But it will not solve the issue of the radio
T Esp How did you resolve the problem?
How did you come to the conclusion you should cut this wire to fix this problem?
The GM engineer never told me what it is for. And I never asked all I know I have done this at lest 10 times at the dealership and it always fixes the problem.
Dealer just told me they want $928 to fix this problem.. I wonder if they would be willing to try this for me first. I doubt it, but I may ask.
I work for the largest GM dealer in FL. I can lead you to water but I cant make you drink it.
@@kjdcomp1 I cut the white wire and it worked but only about a week then right back to the problem. Is there something else I can do?
@@staceyvazquez7100 the most cost-effective thing to do at this point is the have an aftermarket radio installed buy a professional audio place
Mine didn’t t stop and I cut it
Zechariah Macaulay have you done anything else to fix it?
Didnt work for me tried it today and still does the same thing
Jesus Rodrigues have u figured any other way out to fix it?
I did this on my daughter 2014 and it did not work
Anyone knows how to find pin 18
White wire
There are 2 white wires tho. It has to be in the 18th slot.
I cut the white wire and it still doesn’t work its probably worse now
Yes this worked for me. kjdcomp1 your are wonderful, saved me a bucket load of money, IM me I'm going to send u a gift.
No problem I'm glad it worked out for you
GM's Number. 866-522-9559, its a safety hazard and should be a recall IMHO..
Google "a20 radio/hvac controls" and you will find forums on this issue from camaro5.com. Someone posted pictures of what pin 18 is. Here: www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=356934&page=15
DID YOU GET A NEW RADIO? OR JUST THE BCM?
I just got a new BCM, and it didnt help. But I ordered a new faceplate to the radio which is coming in this week and I will let you know if it helps
okay thank you i just ordered a new radio and face plate cost me 500 bucks and the dealers openly admitted that all the radios in the camaros are refurbished nothing is new .. and once i open the box i don't get a refund if it doesn't work. The lady said it more than likely the radio needs to be replaced not the bcm. i pick it up on monday afternoon
Vg South Oh that sucks, I just bought one on ebay for 99$. I looked at the number on the bottom left of the back of the radio by the serial # and googled it. This the one I got new but its not available anymore. I am waiting for it to come in this week, my technician said the a/c knob wasnt working right when they tested it. He snipped off the white wire on the 18th prong going into the radio which is one of 2 power sources to the faceplate and it fixed it a little. I think its a problem with too much power going into the radio, it burns it out. Ill see when i install the new one this week here: m.ebay.com/itm/10-12-all-Chevy-Camaro-13-15-LS-Z28-Radio-Control-Panel-Heater-A-C-Unit-22737615-/362314087709?txnId=942151921023#vi__app-cvip-panel
Ask them for the part number they ordered for the face plate and find one online for cheaper, they are new online and will save you a couple hundred dollars
Just did it on my car and it did not work. everything else still works the same
I cut the farthest white wire. Just like the video. Flickering still happens. :(
jorge limon sorry it didn't work for you it does work probably 90% of the time.
That wire doesn't exist on a 2012 Camaro LT
