I have a 2001 GMC Yukon XL that I have tried multiple times to put in an aftermarket stereo. I tried the cheap connector that didn't allow OnStar to still work. That failed miserably, the radio would work intermittently, it would power on, you just didn't get any sound from it. I purchased the correct one that Scoshe recommends and tried it, same issue. After talking to Scosche they had no idea, recommended I take it to the dealer. The dealer checked it all over, and they couldn't find an issue. Any idea what might be going on here. Overall issue, radio powers on, reads CD, but no sound comes out most of the time, occasionally radio will work just fine, but may turn off for no reason. And I have tried 6 different head units, Pioneer, Sony, Alpine, Dual, Kenwood and others.
 
I had this problem with our 04 suburban. I don't know how he figured it out but he had to buy this cable that ran to the back speakers. He had to tuck it under the carpet from the front all the way to the back and it finally worked.... no idea if thats your problem or not... but htats what we had to do because they wire the sound really weird in those suv's!!!
