slick Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Just look down a bit, you will find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP2389 Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 alright thanks. so it is on the passenger side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yeah, well, it's easier to access from the passenger side. On all the 2nd gens I've worked on, the grommet was down a bit, and more near the passenger side. However, if you feel like taking your time, I'm sure you could run it through where the firewall harness go's through. I really wouldn't recommend it though.

Cam'ron Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 theres a grommet on both sides, drivers is much more accessable, i needed to use it when i installed the fogs on my 03. passenger is a little tough to get at but on my 03 it was empty just hard to reach.

Cam'ron Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 about 9-12" i would say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 However, I would recommend going to the one on your passenger side since the battery is on that side of the engine bay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% but you will find the drivers side grommet eleventybillion times easier to get to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP2389 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 yea i did it. i had to jack the fuckin car up tho to get up under there and run the wire. talk about a pia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP2389 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 So i get all the wires for my amp ran power ground rcas remote and next was to put my working pioneer headunit in. I bought the PAC c2r-gm24. My car doesnt have onstar and it juss has the regular RDS cd player and i think theres a factory amp in the trunk. Well once i wire everything up i get the door chime and the headunit turns on and plays the cd but no sound output at all from anything, not even any static. what could be the problem?? thanks.

kwk39018 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Worng wiring kit.You need a "premium sound" wiring kit.Or you didnt hook up the amp wire off the cd player to the stock amp.(Amp turn on wire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP2389 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 wait so i need to plug in the remote trun on wire from the pioneer headunit to where on the factory amp? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltboy1 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 if it's like the older style, which it probably is since I have used the same wiring harness in every GM I have owned.. It is the.... pink factory wire I believe that powers the factory amp. whatever wire comes out the other end of that on your wiring harness you want to hook it up to the amp turn on wire from your deck. I ran into this while puttin decks in both my GPs as they have factory amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeP2389 Posted June 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 this is in my 02 tho is it the same. so do i cut the factory amp wire then wire it in to the remote wire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meltboy1 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 no, on the wiring harness that you plug into the factory harness, just hook up the amp wire, I think it's a blue with a white stripe?? can't remember, you will have to look to see, it should be in the box your harness came with, and hook it up to the amp turnon wire comin from the deck, no cutting of fatory wires should be needed.

GP1138 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Why would a '95 Monte have an RDS radio, or OnStar? Is this a different vehicle? You shouldn't be having any problems with just wiring color to color on the wiring harness on both sides. You're not cutting the factory harness are you? The snap-in wiring harness should be color-coded along with your CD deck's wires so you just match them up. All of the cars I've had with factory amps have never had problems. Check your wiring.

MikeP2389 Posted June 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 this is on my 02 monte carlo. everything is wired color to color Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GP1138 Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 I combined your two radio threads, since they're essentially about the same thing. If you had posted about the problem in the first thread I would have known what car you were referring to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
