i was thinking of upgrading my stereos in my tahoe and my camaro. i have a 95 tahoe. anyhow i was thinking of buying a single hu and using it in both vehicles. i talked to a dealer and he said they could get me the extra sleeve for this. the only thing is that i plan to get a hu with a motorized screen. good or bad idea? right now i am completely stock audio in both rides. actually just put a lift on my hoe so it may be a bit befor i get to this but i thought i would ask.

 

Bad idea...

Taking a HU in and out isn't as easy as just sliding it in and out; there's also plenty of connections. Plus the setting used in each car will be different. To me... it's just more of a pain in the *** move and it'd be better just just but 2 HUs.

 

I totally agree with 97 formula. Its a bad idea and i think it will cause unnecceasry ware on the unit. At the minuim you will have two things to hook up each time. If you have a good system then it will add alot more connections. Just get two HUs. Get a nice one and a used one. Put the nice one in the car u use the most and if you have a trip or something you can switch them. I just wouldent switch them on a weekly basis.

 

yeah well i have a situation where my camaro will be a once in awhile cruiser and my tahoe will be the daily. and of course the buell during the summer. the hu would probably stay in the tahoe more than 75% of the time. yeah i probably will not do this but i thought i would ask.

 

It's possible. I run a winter truck and a summer car, and i used to use the same h/u for both. It was a once in a 6 month switch. Just get two harnesses for your radio, and install one in each. All you have to do is take the h/u out, and plug it into the other vehicle.

Granted, it's wear and tear, but just be careful and you shouldn't have a problem. The only pain will be setting the eq and time and all that jazz every time.

 

That can be solved with a 9 volt battery. Just hook it up on the constant when you switch and everything will be saved.

 

i am really not too worried about saving settings and such. it will probably be in each vehicle for an extended period of time. its not like i would be switching daily. for the summer my tahoe will be parked. about 4 to 5 months, then the camaro will be parked about 7-8 months. i think if i am going to try this i am going to buy a cd hu and not the motorized dvd player i like. just to see how it works. also my camaro is completley stock and i am looking to kinda upgrade. should i keep all the stock speakers except for the 6x9 sub and try to fit a 10 in there or what. i know i could do a search

 

Depends on what stereo is in there stock. Some of them are amplified seperate of the HU, and will not work with aftermarket units unless you buy a special harness. Others will be fine...

 

i have the bose system in my z. it is ok but i can deffienetly handel more.

 

Yea, i had the bose system in my car. It wasn't all that bad as far as stock systems go, but i tossed it after i finally got the huge grin off my face from purchasing the car

 

i have had this car for a year and still have a grin on my face.
