'07 H3; Aftermarket radio installation

[96TL]

So the GMAH24B is just for the OnStar to function? I'm not using the OEM amps or speakers. Kind of pricey.

Thanks for the help so far everyone. This is a very friendly forum.

If you get that one without the chime mod there will be no audible alarms/tones exept the blinker. Make sure you get the current model or you will need to solder a jumper on the gm side of the harnes which I do not recommend.

wpage, how would I know if I got the most recent one? I definitely don't want to solder anything.

You will know when you install it and your aftermarket unit will not work. Thats how I noticed. Was told the older units were out. When contacting peripheral tech support they sent a email attachment with the wire schematic for the jumper install. Not a big deal unless you choose to go back to a factory radio and have forgotten.
Call Peripheral and talk to Mr Tassillo in tech support he knows what he is doing and will give you the details on the color code for wires. The 800 # is on the box...

Hey guys. I have another question (actually two). Which do you think is the most reliable harness? Soundgate, Peripheral or Pac? Price wise, the Soundgate is the cheapest, and the Pac the most expensive.

Soundgate - $130
Peripheral GMAH24B & Peripheral GMAHCM - $155
Pac OS2 & Pac CM1 - $180

Also, I have the stock Monsoon stereo, but I don?t plan on using it at all. Do I order the Bose adaptor, or non-Bose adaptor?

Thanks!

Peripheral is working fine for me, I don't recall seeing any complaints about it anywhere.

Neucleus sent me a new unit (all in one) to replace the first one that I got that caused a "pop". I haven't had a chance to hook it up and try it yet, but I plan on doing that so I can sell it with a good conscience. It has two sets of ports, amplified and non-amplified, so it would work with or without Bose. It is less than any of the others.

I have the soundgate digistar in mine, no cutting of the factory wiring required. Sometimes I get a bit of noise interference when using onstar, but most of the time it works just like it's supposed to.

I can't answer your 2nd question, but I'm sure the manufacturer of whichever interface you choose should be able to answer that when you're ready to order.
