Hi. I have a 2004 Cadillac Deville and am basically looking for any advice, comments, or concerns with the equipment I have chosen. I have purchased a pioneer AVIC-F900BT in dash screen. As far as amps and speakers I am looking at JL A6450 to power 4 JL 525Cxi and 2 tweeters (still undecided) and a RF T10001bd for 2 JL 12W6V2. I am upgrading the Alt. and wires but any information would be appreciated. I have pulled a cadillac apart before (94 SLS) so I am not too worried about running cables or pulling panels. Thanks Jack Austin, Tx

Has anybody installed an in dash screen in a 2004 deville? I have looked for an install kit but all I can find is the 1 din.

I am trying to find a pin out for my 04 cadillac deville's radio harness. The actual harness that plugs into the back of the radio. If anybody knows or can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Thanks

Installing a radio in that vehicle is not like it was 10 years ago. Metra sells 2 different harness options for that vehicle. The GMOS-06 in a harness designed to Utilize the factory amplifier, and retain door chime and provide you a switched 12 volt wire to connect to the red wire of your new radio. If your radio has front and rear Preamp outputs, this would be a good choice for your needs. The other harness is an amplifier bypass harness. It has to be ran from the amp in the trunk of the vehicle, all the way to the radio location in the dash. It uses the internal amplifier of your new radio. The amplifier in the trunk of the vehicle probably has a bit more power. 70-5024 is the part number of that harness. I do not think it provides a switched output for the red wire of your new radio, but it may. I am sure that if I am wrong, someone will point it out for us.

I have the GMOS 06. I guess I should have been more specific. I am wondering if I have a VSS wire in my harness from the factory. I doubt it does but have been told it might just because quite a few cadillacs come with factory nav. I am trying to avoid cutting into wires in my steering column. I have also heard that some people run nav units with no VSS hooked up at all because it is only used when the GPS loses signal and is trying to maintain directions. Is this true? Thanks

Well, I purchased a shop repair manual and found that I do have a VSS in the wire harness already there. F4 pin. Thanks for the help anyway. Probably will not hook up the reverse wire. anybody see any problems with that?

Everytime you back up, the nav screen will flip over. It thinks you are driving forward in that direction.

I am about to build my box and was wondering if anybody has any suggestions about my idea. I basically want to know if the space between my subwoofers will affect the sound. Kind of like 2 seperate boxes with the amps between them. Does having the subwoofers close together make a difference? Thanks
