head+speaks on an 06 question...
I hate to do this and Ive read the stickies and 900 other websites' info on this one million times, but Im about to spend 450 dollars on a pioneer avh-p3100dvd and 4 Clarion Quality series speakers... and thought hey thats a lot of money - why am I shooting in the dark!?
I have a base ls 06 with nothing at all on it (bangin). I figured its time to feed my ears but I just CANNOT figure out what Im losing in this equation.
Its getting professional install but ***** always try to rip you off or say poo that just aint true so I wanted to ask.
What will I lose? Chimes, turn signal, radio playing after the key is out (i'd miss that)?
What SHOULD the harness(es) run me? I know I dont need no 120 dollar one and ive gotten the notion that I wont lose my chimes, but what about the other things mentioned...
Anything else?
thanks

if you get the cheap wiring harness (like me) you'll lose your door chimes, blinker sounds, and dummy dingers *trunk ajar, hood ajar, no seat belt yada yada* but you dont lose the radio after the car is turned off and out. the harness i got was like $40 man

Yeah Im getting a deal on the head unit, its usually upwards of 400 (getting it for 300) and the speakers are usually 100 a pair but Im getting them for 60 a pair.
I guess Ill live without the blinker sounds, that just seems so weird to not have them... But epic on the radio staying on!
thanks I just wanted to know.

The chimes will stay regardless. you have an 06. The rap feature staying is dependent on the install. If you have power doors then its simple and probably will be retained if not then its gonna be difficult and probably wont be retained. but again that's all dependent on where they hook the acc up to

Alright cool thanks for the general prices, I was happy when I was told the price for the harness and it was about right.
Anyway Ill talk to my guy and see if he can somehow keep the r.a.p.. Hope I can because I have power nothing (which apparently complicates it) haha. The retained power is the best thing to me since.. sliced bread.
thanks people who posted above me.
