receiver connection 2007 tahoe

First allow me to say thanks to those that put this site together. I've found an incredible wealth of information here. Most of which will be put to use in the not so distant future. Unfortunately, I haven't found one answer I'm really looking for.

I  just got a "new to me" 2007 Tahoe. I'd like to do an install unlike anything I've done with other vehicles I've had, and figured the best place to start would be at which receiver I'd like to build from. While looking around to find one I liked...I've hit a small road block.

Is the additional adapter absolutely necessary?

You will need to grab accessory from somewhere else. Probably the steering column.

I agree with dasbogie. I'd rather use the module. I've had problems with both the Axxess module we carry as well as the Scosche module. The problems don't happen near as frequently if you use a relay for a high-output accessory. So make sure you do that. The Scosche module comes with one already.

I've also run into problems with using the GMOS modules with an immobilizer bypass (XK01 for example). These immobilizers bypasses are used for remote starts as well as door lock controls. I don't know if this is a universal problem or only a conflict between the GMOS and XK. Someone else might be able to elaborate more on that.

Thank you all for the fast replies. I posted this same question elsewhere about a week ago, and as of yet, still haven't gotten a response.

My figuring (warped as it can be sometimes) was that the additional adapter wasn't really going to be necessary for the reasons I stated in my initial post. The thing that made me wonder about it, as dasbogie mentioned, is the price. I thought it was pretty sad that the adapter was almost as much as the deck I am thinking about getting. I understand that I would have to get the +12V switched power from somewhere else if I went without. Additionally, I can understand how the "bells and whistles" may be needed if someone else were to drive my vehicle.

Thanks again for the fast replies as all your input is greatly appreciated. As it is, I'll bite the bullet and get the additional adapter.

Well...maybe their quality has changed in the past number of years. It has been about eight years or so since I bought anything of theirs that was mobile audio related. I also have some of their home audio gear that's got plenty of years of use.

Maybe I need to consider a couple different brands?
