Has anyone done this aside from me?

Now im itching to wire it up. Hopefully I wont have to deal with unlocking it. BUT does anyone have some diagrams for this unit?

Manufactured 08/05/02
Part# 12207119

Looks like it has two plugs on the back, 36 combined pins.

It would be nice to update my steering column and have buttons for the radio on it.

a better explanation of what it is exactly would be helpful

An upside down gm cd player. Possibly out of a sunfire or Bonneville. I made it light up blue instead of red?

It's a double din CD player from a GM minivan.

Some of the newer (2003 or later?) radios are interfaced to the BCM (I think) in the car, and are looking for the correct VIN.
At least that's what I've always understood.

If the pentagon can be hacked, a gm radio can be too.

Maybe this will help

Unless there is a top and bottom to the plug i do not think any of those are it. Its got 36 pins in all. Ill try to get a pic

It's just a different year plug then. Post up a picture, I'll find you the right pinout.

Chris, Unfortunately that radio is a newer Databus radio. It doesn't have an ignition wire. It has a constant 12V wire for memory and the car receives a signal from other modules (BCM) that tell it when to turn on. If you were to get a Bonneville BCM, and use a GM Tech 2 scanner, you could unlock the radio and make it all work. I just troubleshot a 2003 Bonni last week with lots of databus problems. That car has about 15 computers in it. I have always wanted to wire up all the cool features of the newer cars, but just never had time.

Here is one of the Bonni schematics. It looks like some of the models used a radio that looked the same but only had low level outputs (like RCA level) and required a GM amp. Hopefully you have the one with speaker level outputs.







Hope this helps!
