Caprice head unit ?'s

[firstcherokeekid]

I have a head unit and hvac controls from a 2012 caprice headed my way. I was hoping some of you that have already done this mod can help me with the odd and ends I need. I have the center stack, head unit, hvac controls and video cables. What else do I need other than to have the head unit reprogrammed?

I got mine up and running. And I'm not to impressed.
Sure its nicer but for the grand it cost I would have left my phone mounted in the car with the stock unit.
I'm thinking about selling it now.

Thanks I have all of that coming too, but what about the wiring harness? Where did you guys get yours?

[BuildItYourSelf]

Harness from Greg.
Plug it in and hook up the mic.

And did you guys use the bluetooth mic from the G8 or something else. I have searched for 2 days and came up with nothing on these 2 ?'s

What do you want for it?

[BuildItYourSelf]

O I dunno.
I carboned the trim. I'm not sure if I want to sell it just yet. I'm trying to get the most out of it first.
I painted the faceplate black tho.
I got like $900 in all of it before programming.
Not sure if that a fair price or not. Most people seem to say under 1k is about average.
I'd let it go for less BC I painted the faceplate and would need one stock piece I broke taking out.

[firstcherokeekid]

Well let me know because I have a spare stock head unit with faceplate.

[BuildItYourSelf]

I still have mine
No since in getting a different one reprogrammed.
I would need the trim that's on the outside of the shifter trim

You need the main harness/connector that goes on the right side of the radio and also the USB connector. Both of which you can buy from Greg.

For the mic, you use the factory G8 mic but you have to tap into the factory wiring and connect the 2 leads to the main connector from Greg.
