I really don't know. I notice that the sound changes when the top goes into motion (either up or down), like it powers down the audio a bit while it is in motion. Maybe that circuit fried when top got into the bind.

Here is an update. Broke down and bought a used Bose amp. Plugged it in and now I have sound.

Does anyone have the schematics for the the plugs going in and out of the amp?

Not sure what I am doing wrong and starting to get frustrated. I have cut these wires from the plug and connected them together, matching the colors, aligning with the instructions in this diagram. I have cut these wires and connected them, per these diagrams: but, I am still not getting...

@rexster314 your guidance is appreciated. The .pdf said to cut the wires and tie the like colored ones together. Your instructions had said to run jumpers to make that connection, here: Kenwood DNX893S in the XLR That was the only deviation to those instructions from Facebook that I made. I...

@rexster314 so, are you saying that making those jumpers will bypass the amp?

That is correct, @rexster314. I had my parking brake set, so I didn't want to risk messing up and not be able to get that released, if I had to back the stereo install out, which I did. I used extra speaker wire and stuck those into the appropriate holes in the plugs, but it is possible that...

And to preemptively answer any questions, the trunk safety switch for the divider was missing (or at least isn't working) when I bought the car. Working on other stuff first.

I have followed (mostly) the instructions found in the XLR Aftermarket Headunit Installation.pdf file posted here: Log In or Sign Up to View. I did get the radio to power up, but no sound was coming out. While I didn't cut and tie the like-colored wires on the 20 pin connector, I did (try) to...

You say that the gap button doesn't work? As in your adaptive cruise control is no longer adjustable? Hmmm...I am facing similar issues, though mine was caused by a set of jumper cables that got pinched by the top as I was lowering it. My stereo hiss, squealed and thumped for a bit. Shutting...

This site says they have them available. 2004-2009 Cadillac XLR Release Switch 10354849 | GMPartsNow Don't forget that these cars share lots of parts in common with the Corvette.

I had noticed that outside door release was acting wonky as well. I had taken it apart once before, so I took it apart once again. The contacts had shifted and the little rubber tabs that hold it in place were broken off. Replaced the switch and both switches are working without issues.

I have had this issue with the intermittent release with the driver's door only for about 2 months now. My problem is that the window drops like it is supposed to, but the latch does not release. Was this the behavior you experienced?

It would really depend on your confidence and your frugality. While it was frustrating, it wasn't hard. Had I thought to look for a part number on the back of my existing fob, I would have saved myself a whole lot of headache and heartache. To answer your question, yes I would do it myself...

It really wasn't hard, if you have open slots (you only get 4). My first key fob purchase was the wrong part number.
