No Monsoon Basic Audio Package, No Onstar.

I Have the GMOS-01 and JVC KD-R320

I tried installing once, after connecting all the same color wires, but the headunit didnt power ON, just the chimes came on.....So what am I doing wrong??

Here's some pics, the 3 brown wires? do I use the brown wire with the red tip? and 3 red wires what goes where?? the ground wire?? the 2 green wires on the right, are those correct? JUST EVERYTHING, IM CONFUSED:th_nervous::th_nervous::th_nervous:

sigh, is that a harness adapter?

there should be a pin out on the package it came in, and the headunit should have a pin sticker, match them up that way, not by color
 
As basically as possible. Connect the yellow (constant power) from the radio to the yellow on the harness. Do the same with the reds (switch power) to the red on the harness . And the black (ground) to black.

The white and white/black ..... grey and grey/black ..... green and green/black.... and purple and purple/black are your speaker wires. Connect those wires from the radio to the matching wires on the harness.

The blue/white wire from the radio is an amp turn on lead. If you do not have an amp, capped that line off. The orange and orange/white wires are just illumination wires. If you want, you can connect the orange/white from the radio to the wire (will be the orange or orange/white) labeled "dimmer"... or you can just cap those off as the radio should have an independent dimming control

The brown wires are for a mute and aftermarket navigation units and onstar volume control. You can cap those off.

Blue/pink, green (from the 14 pin harness) and green purple are also for navigation, so you can cap those off as well.

That should do it...if Im missing any wires let me know.

Ok Thanks ALOT!

Im going to do it when I get up later, too sleepy right now......

What do I connect the grey and grey/black wires coming from the radio that u marked wrong to on the harness?? and the Dark green wires on from the stereo???

Im sure it did come with a wiring diagram, but probably over looked it, I'll go find it...

 


The green and green/black.... and the purple and purple/black from the radio go to your rear speaker leads (circled) on the harness to the left.
 
Thanks for all your help.....I finally got it installed.

I left the grey wires connected and everything seems fine......

For the next person, Everything is pretty much color coded, but use the wire diagram to be sure.
