Delco RDS radios
Have several of these radios from a local junkyard. They all take in
and eject cd's but nothing else. They use a standard Delco wiring harness. Anyone know what I'm missing wiring this up? It should be possible to get these fired-up on a test bench outside the vehicle. TIA Cindy Pearsons Electronics |

Most of the newer Delco Radio's use a data wire to tell it when the ignition
is on. Those units may not use a 12v ingnition source. -- The Clown Prince of Car Stereo wrote in message oups.com... Have several of these radios from a local junkyard.

When you say "Delco RDS radios" do you mean the new
class two data bus radios? almost a double DIN size, not the DIN and halfs. No, you will not be able to "power them up" on a test bench. They have a data handshake with the cars BCM to confirm the VIN number. If the handshake doesn't happen, or its the wrong VIN the radio will lock out.

Yeah i have a 2004 Malibu and I had to run a seperate wire for power to the fuse box, damn GM for that, I also lost all warning chimes cause they are controlled by the radio. oh well, I got it done but it was a pain in the ass.

There are several companies that make adaptors for you to retain your door chime.

I dont need them and certainly don't want to pay 60 bucks to keep them, would it be so hard for GM to just leave all the crap out of the radio and put it somehwere else like all of the other cars I have had: Honda, Nissan, Toyota, Volkswagon.
