I just bought my girlfriend an Alpine CD player. She already has a factory CD player and radio in her car but she wanted a new CD player. Best Buy told me that the wiring harness for the new GM vechicles were 125$ because of door chimes. I have bought many wiring harness' and they have never been more then 20$. Is best buy just trying to make me buy top of the line?
nope. its true dude. for gm's past 2000 it ranges from $85 to $150 for a wire harness. from 2006 and up the harness also controls parking assist, heated seats, climate control fan, warning chimes. for the alero it will stop rigning when she leaves her keys in the car and stops ringing when she leaves the lights on. ive heard it can cause airbags to not deploy, check engine lights to turn on. it depends on the particular car. but it is needed. another reason being there is no turn on for the radio, it is controlled through data. the $125 part receives the data and turns the radio on or off.
