Audio Upgrade complete...

[LS2 BLAZER]

most have seen my thread about the audio overhaul questions i had... well i went and bought and installed everything yesturday, and i am more then impressed with all of it... it does exactly what i wanted it to do and then some... my GP is my DD, so i didnt want anything too crazy.. just basic stuff... no bass, no complicated harness', and didnt care if i lost steering wheel controls, RAP's, etc... and those threads that state RAP's are lost, and the radio shuts off with the basic $15 wire harness, were all wrong... not only did i retain all my RAP's, but my stereo also stays on until i open my door, just like factory...

Items that i bought...

Sony CDXGT56UI AM/FM/CD Detachable Faceplate, front auxiliary input, MP3/WMA/AAC playback, USB 1-wire for iPhone/iPod, Sirus XM sat radio connector ready, suppplied wireless remote..... $79.99

Rockford Fosgate R152-S Prime Coaxials 5.25" Full Range Coaxial (w/tweeters) 35W RMS/70W Peak for my 2 front doors.... $50.00
GM4001 GM Harness 701858... $9.85
993320 Pontiac Kit...$15.93
ADGM1 Antenna Adapter 40GM10... $8.95

so for my grand total plus tax, i paid $169.70 and i installed it all myself... thats a deal in my book any day... and like i said... it does what i wanted it to do... has my front mount USB so i can listen to my flash drives and i have sound at all the speakers now... it was driving me nuts having 2 blown door speakers lol... im sure everyone knows what the pieces look like taken off, but here are some pix anyway...

Looks like a good set up that suits your needs. I recommend the adapter for the steering wheel controls. It is worth retaining them.

i agree

Ehh.. I have the remote and I've already gotten used to it.. my flash drives are 4GB and are full of songs.. so I dont go searching for things.. plus there are steering wheel buttons that dont work.. (mute and volume up) so thats another reason why I jus killed it all together..

Looks good! I swapped receivers in my car over the weekend. The beauty about having all GM vehicles is that the harnesses are all interchangeable lol.

yea this thing was cake compared to my SS and needing all the special wire harness'... i love this car!! lol...
