    "If you do your job correctly no one should be able to tell you've done anything at all" -God Ran one USB extension along the bottom seam of the center console so it tucks out of sight next to the seat. The other I ran up the side of the glove box to tuck away under the HVAC control since the...

    Always a good idea to function check before getting things too far in place. Took this pic around 11:30pm The key to any clean install is absolute organization. This was around 4-4:30am. It was around this point I discovered the installation kit came with two left side panels for attaching to...

    It's a plug in, but my factory chime worked without it, so no I'm not going to use it. I have a few more pics, but really it was an 8hr+ thrash in the middle of the night and this afternoon to get it all done so I didn't get anywhere near as many as I'd have liked.

    Keep track of these little guys so you don't end up in divorce court! Helps if you can get a grip Doesn't have to be the prettiest, it'll be covered by tubing and hidden away behind paneling. I just put the tubing over the splice and run the soldering gun over it to shrink it up. Don't...

    Some of the wires are a lot longer than the others and are coiled up, instead of cutting them down, or stretching them out I just left them the way they are. It'll be handy if you want to sell it later on or install it in something different that needs the extra reach, and will still keep in...

    Next up is installing the new deck. I went with the Kenwood DNX997r. One reason is because it was one of the few even available right now, but aside from that, I'm a longtime fan of Garmin navigation. I've owned several of their windshield mounted units, and have been looking at the 3d...

    Thank you! :thumbsup: and thank you. I like the white, I think it makes the lines really pop on it. White trucks are more fun to drive in the snow too lol

    Speaking of which, I just noticed that I posted it in the "'21+" section instead of the "2000-2006" is there an admin who can fix that?

    I have the rear bench, I also want to keep the stock appearance as much as possible. From experience a good system can be a serious thiefmagnet. The less they see when they look in the more likely they are to move along and look elsewhere. I am also aware of impedance matching. In the early...

    visualogic ones with the logo on. I did a writeup in the Electronics section. Missed delivery of the Head Unit because I was at a Dr.'s appointment. Signature required so had to reschedule delivery. Doesn't really matter since the adapter is in limbo somewhere.

    After getting it back together I wired the brains directly to the battery to function check. The New new one lit right up, the "New" "test purposes" one did not. Switched brains to see if that was it since the used one looked kind of tatty, but no joy. So, will have to take that one back out and...

    I'm working on beefing up the sound system in my '05 Escalade. I'm not looking for building leveling power. Just want to clean up the sound, fill it out more where it's missing some depth, and add some extra functionality. To begin with I have installed Newish Old Stock headrest monitors (one...

    As far as I can tell. It's the iridescent white. It was hit in the front right quarter before I got it, but the repair looks good. I buffed the yellow off of the driver's side headlight to better match, there's still some "fogging" on the inside that I can't reach, but it's a lot better than it...

    Installing sub with stock Bose system

    There's a youtube video of a guy making his own harness to bypass the Bose amp. If you want to add an amp to the stock Bose you could run wires from the stock sub to an amp with speaker level inputs.

    Hey all, new member from Grand Rapids, MI. Long-time shade tree with a degree, picked up an '05 shorty Escalade for more than I want to say lol:yaoface2: but that's the market here! 205,000 miles but it's an Arizona/Nevada truck and has only seen 5 years of Michigan salt and sludge. So just...
