Also had to loop the 2 purple wires in the gm harness. Only problem now is that when the key is in accessory mode, I don't hear any music from the stereo, but Onstar still works. As soon as I open the door and the door chime starts ringing, the music from the stereo comes through. As soon as I shut the door, no more music. With the key turned to on, I don't get anything even with the door opened, but again Onstar still works. I'm going to call Metra in the morning, but was just curios if anyone has any ideas on this. Checked wiring 4 times, and all seems correct. Pretty strange if you ask me.

Did you have the Monsoon system? If so, it sounds like the amp turnon is not connected or connected to the wrong place. Make sure that you have the remote amp lead from the Z1 connected to the amp turnon lead from the harness.
