Scosche GM 2000

striker46 · 03-06-2010, 05:30 PM

I recently purchased a Pioneer DEH-P590IB. Then I realized that I would lose my factory chimes and warnings, so I bought this at Wal-Mart today for 40 bucks.

Walmart.com: Scosche GM2000 Class II Car Stereo Replacement Interface Module and Harness: Auto Electronics

My question is for those who have purchased this unit. What chimes do I get and what differences do I need to expect from the factory setup? Is this interface reliable? Anything I need to know? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, if I read that right, that issue occurs when you choose to tune your truck. I have no intentions on doing this ever. Is that the only concern?

It's not reliable.

I used the GM2000 to install Ron - The Wolf!'s Pioneer D3 and it lasted maybe a year.

The chimes come from the harness adapter's speaker.

well I guess for 40 bucks you kinda get what you pay for in today's market. I just cant justify spending more than that just to retain some bells. If it craps out then I will simply replace it I guess.

I used it but it was stolen after about 2 weeks.. Work up until that point though

i dont like anything Scoshe personally. I used to work at an audioshop and we used PAC, Metra, American Installers.

Any time someone brought us anything scoshe it seemed to stop working or break while we were installing it

I"ll agree with that we always have had problems with scosche stuff. Also you can buy the correct metra harness on ebay for $40 shipped.

Yeah I think thats the one I used and Gerry confirmed mine was good when we retuned my PCM for the tranmission shifts

Ive had it for close to a year and never had any problems. The dinger comes from a speaker box on the harness... I find it loud / annoying so I wrapped tape around it to quiet it down. I still like to be able to hear it but its TOO loud.

i had my radio installed today. the chime module sounds alright, good enough for me. the important thing is that i FINALLY have the ability to listen to my ipod in the truck now. very awesome. thanks for the feedback guys.

I've had mine for two years with no problems. Good choice.

I did the same thing as well!

The one that crutchfield sent me came with a spot on the circuit board that you can cut to lower the speaker volume. I love it you can just barely hear the chime, but it's just loud enough to hear.

You can change the volume on the Scosche one as well... the directions are in the box. I think you adjust it with the panel lighting knob.

There is a wire you cut - and I did that - but its still annoyingly loud.
