Cavilers dont have onstar that I know of...

As far as car electronics messing up (Tach). It just amazes me how this stuff happens. Sometimes you install some kind of equipment and it has strange effects elsewhere on the car.

THe owner instantly blames whoever installed it, as it was fine until YOU messed with it. Or YOU were the last person to mess with my car! Blah.

Shit happens, stuff fails. Get over it...

yea but that is to turn on the factory amp.....dont the 05 cavaliers need to keep the factory hu to run some of the things like onstar and blinkers and all that crap?

yea i do that what im asking is if any of you have any other ways of doing it or is this the norm for non aftermarket hus?

See if the 12v socket for accesories is hot all the time or only when the car is on. Otherwise, look for the line that turns the radio on with the ignition...bust out the multi meter.

Remote wire for what???

You talking a switching 12V as in the normal red wire froma head unit?

When going to the fuse block you got to be careful on what side of the fuse your on. Remeber one side is hot. If the fuse blows its breaks between both sides... But one side is still hot....

this is an 05 but i think i get what your sayin

by Justin from Detroit1 » Wed Jan 04, 2006 1:16 pm

So these guys are saying that by you using a fuse in the fuse box as a remote lead that it damaged the HU? Bullshit.
