• Radio Replacement Interface with Door Chime

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 for much less.

I have purchased THREE of these units (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.

EDIT: THIRD one has failed. What a total pain. I tell you why i have been so stubborn on buying one after another of these. I have all the wiring soldiered together and just buying another box is a quick swap. i am sick of it and I will never buy another product from this company again.

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.

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.

All the bad reviews you see are true. The trouble traces to a relay that they use to switch from radio to chime. It is a common relay which is nice because you will find your self changing it every 3 months. This is a significant design problem. I have just purchased the Metra product to replace this disappointing and repeatedly defective product. I have replaced relays using multiple suppliers in an effort to give this item a chance, but none has been able to overcome whatever design flaw is within the system. BEWARE THIS ITEM WILL LEAVE YOU WALKING IF THE RELAY FAILS WHILE THE RADIO IS ON AND YOU DO NOT NOTICE THE PROBLEM. Buy the Metra item. It has good reviews and costs less.
