This item is a required part to insure your door chimes and alert bells work properly (Low tire pressure, low fuel parking brake left on ect) This also provides connections to your speakers, power lead for your stereo.

I did see this very same item at wallyworld for much less. (I had to buy speaker wire and they had Scosche brand wire there too) In case you where thinking this price was a bit high, then your suspicion is right, wallymart had it [...]less.

I have purchased two of these units (Both Scosche) and they have failed. One lasted a couple of months, this last one lasted a couple of years. First one the chime speaker went out AND left the radio power on after the key was turned off. This one left the radio on too! The first time this happened my wife did not notice and left the radio and two pretty powerful amps on and it left her stranded with a dead battery. The radio was on pretty low and the drain was enough to kill the battery during an 8 hour shift. She manually turns off the radio now to shut off the amps but the radio is still illuminated. Not enough to run the battery down but still that sucks. Third unit will be from another manufacturer for sure.

This chime module costs me over $1000.00. After diagnoses,a BCM, installing it, and reprogramming it and tow charges it cost me $750.00 the first time. The second time I ordered it myself on e-bay and installed it myself and had a friend reprogram it for $20.00 the second time it only cost me $290.00 but I still have to buy a new chime module and I still don't know if my stereo is OK. Needless to say Scosche knows what they can do with there GM09SR Chime Module!!!

I ordered this product and it worked for about two weeks. Then it would work sometimes and other times it would just quit. About a month after installing this it would come on and then just shut off. I would then have to restart my car sveral times to get the product to work. Now it has been a few months and the product doesn't work at all. I have contacted the company and they will replace it, but I first have to send them the product. This will take about a week and will come at my expense. They take about a day to process the unit and then return it or a new one depending. The return will also take a week. So two whole weeks without a radio and I will have uninstall and then install it again and I will have another expense. Just a bit rediculous and not worth wasting my time. Easier to go to Bestbuy or Walmart and buy a new one.

I bought this item in August of 2011. I only drive this vehicle on weekends. Until this past week when I began driving it more often (2005 chevy silverado). This item has now quit working. No chime at all and radio stays on when key is pulled! Don't waste your money! I'm out $55 and now have to go find another brand or go back to my stock stereo! Seems like this is a common theme for this brand. Take heed! :(

This product is of incredibly low quality. My stereo would not turn on when the interior temperature was less than 45 degrees (when unit was new). After MUCH research the problem was traced to this unit. Now my stereo will not turn on unless the interior temperature is correct AND my seat belt is buckled prior to turning on the ignition. I am planning on calling Scosche Tech support soon, but regardless I had to tuck this unit FAR into the dash for it to fit, so I am looking at at least a few hours of work in dis-assembly and re-assembly, no matter what course Tech tells me to take and I have to drive to and from work everyday with no sound for the winter unless I stop along the way and recycle the ignition.

Initially I was happy with this product, all it has to do is supply power to my stereo and make a dinging noise. Unfortunately after a few months I was the one that got "dinged." Like many others here it did not last more than a few months.

I bought this a little over a year ago for my 06 Chevy SIlverado. 8months after i bought it my radio would sometimes just cut in and out (and i was using a fairly expensive alpine head unit). So I opened the dash disconnected it and reconnected it. This worked for a month then the problem came back and I have been living with a door chime that is spastic and completely obnoxious and a $400 head unit that cuts in and out. I have spent well over a grand on everything and because of this stupid little harness all that money has been pointless! BUY A DIFFERENT BRAND THIS ONE IS NOT WORTH A PENNY!

Used the interface on my trailblazer. Easy to install, works as advertisd. Really like the volume control and the chime isn't too harsh.

I bought this interface for my 2004 Pontiac Sunfire because I was replacing the factory stereo. Everything went well at the beginning, but after 3 months it died, and so did my car. Only after a lot of online consultation did I disconnect this unit and my car finally came back to life. As soon as the interface is connected again for testing, the engine stops and every single warning light in the dash lights up. Decided to eliminate and bypass this unit, and even though I have no warning chimes, everything works well now.

This item is serving its purpose, but it is cheaply made and the door chime sounds terrible. It sounds like the speaker is blown even though it's not, its just that cheaply made. This is no fault of the seller, Scosche just makes a pitiful product. Save your money. Auto Zone has an adapter made by Metra that will match up with the factory adapter. You will just have to run a remote wire from the fuse panel up to your radio. There is no remote wire in the original wiring harness. It uses a data wire to turn on the radio with the ignition, which will not work with aftermarket stereo's. I am very disappointed in this product. For $55 This thing should rock, and sadly it doesn't. I also purchased a dash kit that was made by schoche so that my radio would mount to my oversized dash opening. I had to modify it to make it fit and the fitment still isn't perfect. I will not purchase any more Schosche products. Please try something else rather than buying this.

Update: After less than a week, this thing completely stopped working. The radio would power on and off sporadically. Sometimes it would work, other times, I would start the truck and get no radio until i turned the truck off again. I returned this and the seller gave me a full refund and paid for return shipping, so props to them. I purchased Metra part #AW-WHGM3 and ran my own remote wire from under the dash. I did have to move a few of the pins on the Metra adapter, but that is no problem. Just grab the pin with needle nose pliers and shove it out of the adapter.
