[QUOTE="gamblehouse2003, post: 7779801, member: 642420"] Well, what I have figured out is that since my 2005 Chevy Equinox is an amplified system I need a specific harness for a clean install. After contacting Metra they informed me that the Metra 70-2103 would only work if I did not have a factory amplified audio system in my vehicle. The service specifications number U65 in the glove box shows the vehicle is amplified. Plus the very large amplifier under the rear passenger seat.[IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif[/IMG] For a clean DIY install I was going to have to invest in a Class II harness which retained Onstar, Chimes, and was for an Amplified system. I had 3 choices, the Metra GMOS-08, Digistar-EA, or the Scosche GM16SR. The Digistar-EA was the cheapest, but hardest to find available since it has been discontinued. I was not comfortable buying from a cheap looking website so I decided against that harness. The Metra GMOS-08 was the most expensive so I opted for the Scosche GM16SR with matching Din Kit GM1599B. I ordered directly through Amazon since they offer an A-Z guarantee. Over all for both items after shipping my total came to $91. I am waiting for them to arrive. Maybe this info will help someone like myself in the furture.. [/QUOTE]
