Got in the Tahoe this morning and the radio is not working :( so anyone following up on that hold off I may go ahead and just snip the plug on the amp to bypass it

The end result is nice. The biggest pain in the ass in this was fighting all the wires behind the radio :Stupid Me: So far the only complaint on this is the screen hitting the gear shifter when I crank it. I may be able to go in the setting and change this I'll have to check into that

That's why I got rid of mine. Kept hitting the shifter, which got to be VERY annoying.

I worked in a car audio shop back in the day, and I remember when the 99 trucks came out, and then the 00 Tahoe's and Yukon's. We installed a LOT of the flip up screens because they were VERY popular at the time. We used to remove the gear shifter and put it in a vise and bend it just slightly. The bend was enough that the screen cleared with no problem, but not so bent that it was obviously bent.

Is it not working at all? Or is it working but there is no sound? If its working but no sound, check that pink wire. I saw the picture of how you spliced into it with that blue "T-tap" splice. Those things are nothing but trouble. I would cut and strip the wire and use a butt connector like you did on the other wires. I can't tell you how many alarm and stereo system repairs I have done over the years due to those T-taps.

Thanks for chiming in Scotty inputs always appreciated. A little update on the radio ordeal yea the wire did come out of that little splice connector. As soon as I got it wired back in speakers started playing...now I'm still unsure if this way or cutting the wires at the plug is better for bypassing the amp. Anyways ran into another issues besides the speaker ordeal, I was losing power randomly. I took everything out of radio basket and looked around. Found that when it was pushed back and locked in the radio basket was wedging the plug on the back side of the radio. I did a little trimming and rearranging of wires and it's working. Fingers crossed hope I don't have anymore issues with it

I had to break off that thick metal brace in the first pic to fit my double din.
