Product Details

Chime Retention Interface with Speaker by Axxess®. Replacing the stereo in a late-model GM car has a down side: the seatbelt chime and the turn signal click are actually piped through the stereo and into the speakers. New stereo = no chime. This module retains the chimes.

Ding…Ding…Ding…Ding. That's the sound of your GM car's seatbelt warning chime. And you can't hear it any more. (Is that really a bad thing? Just asking…) It's been conspicuously absent, along with the ticking of the turn signals and some other alert noises from the instrument panel, ever since you replaced your cheesy GM radio with one that's more modern, more capable and more powerful. No surprise, because the General has been doubling up lately, and using the stereo and speakers to generate those sounds. If you want those sounds back, you'll need to install this interface, which intercepts these sounds in the harness and passes them on.

Special Pontiac Grand Am Wiring Harness

This product worked great! The wires are labeled and were pre-cut and ready to be connected to the aftermarket stereo wire connections. It was a very simple project. It works very well and isn't that loud. It's worth the buy!

Works Flawlessly

For older Fords without a backup camera this module certainly does the trick. I had looked into many stereos and screens to use as a backup monitor to use with an aftermarket backup camera on the 2013 Ford Focus, but I was one of the few who actually liked the Sync interface and felt the OEM screen to be adequate to show a camera feed. Along with the Ford wiring harness and a camera (I found one elsewhere that integrated into the trunk release handle) this intuitively shows your backup camera when in reverse on the stereo screen and leaves everything else really stock. It also has 3 other inputs if you have other cameras or devices you'd like to display on your OEM screen, but I sold the car before I got around to playing with those.
