After purchasing a new head unit for my truck, I questioned myself about buying this item. I thought it wasn't necessary and who needs chimes anyway. I was dead wrong, So I bought it anyway and I am so glad I did. The adapter plugs right into your stock radio connection, which allows you to easily splice/solder all the appropriate new connections from your new radios harness.

Although the contruction quality is questionable (the speaker case on mine was seperated upon opening) it snapped right back together. The wiring diagram provided is very well thought out and detailed. One thing to consider, I plugged in the speaker harness into my stock wiring and put a voltage meter across the connections to test everything before I spliced the new harness with it.

If the chimes are to loud, the instructions will tell you how to cut a piece on the circuit board inside the speaker unit. After cutting it, the volume was great (my original chime was giving me headaches). Installation was difficult due to tight conditions, I ended up zip-tying the speaker unit behind my radio. Works great, I know when im not wearing my seatbelt without getting migranes.

This will not work for monsoon systems. I didn't do my research, but am pretty sure that it didn't say that on the product page, only mentioned that it wouldn't work with onstar. It will not work with any monsoon or bose system. There is another adapter for that: GMOS-04

I am using it in a 2000 Chevy Cavalier and it works great. It also makes it much easier to install the aftermarket radio. In the instructions it shows you a wire you can cut to make the chimes quieter. Make sure to do that. This thing is loud even after quieting it down. I wish that I had covered the speaker grill with electrical tape before I finished. Anything to make it a little quieter. But in the end it does exactly what it is supposed to do. It makes me feel comfortable knowing that my chances of leaving my headlights on after exiting the car are much lower. It's great that I didn't have to solder into the car's ignition wire. The custom GM power wiring is all taken care of with this. If I did it again. I would definitely buy this again.
