Direct-fit replacement for GM trucks and SUVs

This unit fits 2005 through 2012 Chevrolet, GMC and Buick models including Canyon, Colorado, Envoy, Rainier, SSR and Trailblazer. It replaces OEM part numbers such as 15189817, 15806673, 15837848, 15941771 and 25998449. Buyers whose vehicles use a different head-unit footprint or lack the US8 option code cannot use this radio.

Requires dealer unlock and factory wiring harness

After installation the radio operates in a ten-minute test mode until a GM dealer performs the unlock procedure. The unit plugs into the original vehicle harness and retains all factory features such as steering-wheel controls and chimes. Vehicles without the matching harness or without dealer access for programming are not supported.

Front-panel 3.5 mm aux input adds portable-audio

A 3.5 mm auxiliary jack on the faceplate lets you connect phones, MP3 players or satellite-radio tuners without losing any OEM functionality. The radio also plays MP3-formatted CDs. There is no Bluetooth, USB or streaming capability built in, so users who need wireless connectivity must add a separate adapter.

Questions about this item

How long can the radio run in test mode before it must be unlocked by a dealer?

The unit operates in a fully functioning test mode for 10 minutes at a time until a GM dealer performs the unlock procedure.

Does the upgraded auxiliary input generate any audible noise or heat during extended daily use?

The 3.5 mm aux jack is a passive line-level input; it adds no active circuitry, so it produces no extra heat or noise beyond the original factory radio.

What existing vehicle wiring or harness must already be present for this unit to install and function?

The radio plugs directly into the factory GM harness used on 2005-2012 Chevrolet and GMC trucks and SUVs listed in the compatibility data; no additional adapters are required.
