It sure if this has any bearing, since I’m not using HPT, but any time I need to data log, or load a tune from BBP, I have to pull my radio fuse (aftermarket HU), and 2 remote start fuses, for it to be able to communicate. It’s a PITA

Yep, same issue basically but pulling the radio fuse or even completely unplugging the POS and putting it in the back seat didn't fix it. I think the chime adapter is hardwired deeper in the dash and I'm to big for dash diving lol.

Since it's cold I decided to do what I despise to do during the summer. Found out the Milwaukee engine light is perfect for dash work!


Chime adapter BS is the problem. Dug it out of the dash and unplugged then loaded a tune in less than a minute. It was glorious! But with it removed the radio doesn't come on, can I hook some wires together or something to bypass it?

Also replaced the lights button and dome light seems to be working as they should.

Glad you found the problem. Maybe you can wire up a quick disconnect for the power wire to that adapter, that hangs down for easy reach next time? That light is perfect for dash work! Very good...! [emoji16][emoji106]

Great minds think alike! Wiring extension harness now to relocate it under the dash for quick disconnection access during tune writing!

My colored wire selection is poor so these are all scraps lol.

Haha! Whatever works! As long as you use heat shrink tubing, who cares? lol. Git-r-done!
I need to do this with my fuses for the remote start myself, so I don’t have to pull the damn dash apart for tunes. They’re pretty tough to reach, so haven’t done it yet, but one of these days. Stout wire too. I’d say it’s 8 ga.

You can't have auto start or aftermarket radio to load bb tunes?

Depends on the truck and the radio and the chime thingy. My Silverado never cares, buddies denali doesn't care, my tacoma doesnt care, but this thing is a D bag lol

Yup. For me I have to pull the cluster bezel, and lower dash panel (below steering column) to get to these fuses where the brain for the remote start is. Pulling the radio fuse at the main box under the hood works form the aftermarket HU, but also have to pull the remote start fuses. Took about 2-3 weeks to figure that out after trying to send data logs to BBP.. I need to add some length to the power wires for the remote start, for easy access and a q/d of some sort. Although, I don’t really want those being very easily found either.. [emoji107]
