Been awhile, my poor 03 is pushing it's later life (closing on 300000km and a large jump in backroad driving these past few years) and we're in the market for a new vehicle, but in the meantime I'd like to put an aftermarket HU in this thing. I've had a unit for years (Single DIN) I've just kept putting it off because of the idea of spending extra money on the harness.
Finally looked in my glovebox, and going by the RPO codes I have:
UC6 - AM/FM Radio, RDS, 6-Disc Changer, Auto Tone Control, and ETR
UE1 - Onstar Communications System (Includes 1 Year Safe & Sound Plan)
UG1 - Homelink
UJ6 - Tire Pressure Monitor
UK6 - Radio Controls RR ST & Earphone
UPC - Travel Note
I've never used the On-Star, I do use the steering wheel controls but don't need to, I just don't want to lose the rest of my console information (mileage, oil life, etc). The question is what do I need to install this thing? I do listen to music loud on occasion but I'm not going to be pimping my ride, so I don't know that I have to worry about drawing too much voltage.
This is the HU: http://www.us.jvc.com/archive/car/indashreceivers/kd_r875bts/
I plan to continue using the factory speakers. The only reason for the change is the fact the CD player mostly doesn't play CDs anymore unless they're pristine, and I want the auxillary/USB/BT connectivity.
