So for me, I have the stock stereo with airplay. All the videos I could find of the T harness show bose systems with the amp in the middle console down by the floor. For me my stereo's "brain" was on the passenger side floor board (see image where I marked where it's at)

Another note, I used this website for guidance. The sub fee is kinda high but i just purchased a one day sub on the day I was doing the install. It has factory/dealer level bulletins and shows exactly how to take apart everything in the car. It was invaluable for taking apart the trim pieces and running wires to the back. It's actually how I found where the radio's brain was.

Thanks alot for doing this write up, it has been quite helpful. I have a 2023 that I am trying to get parts together for to do an install and I think my radio is going to be in the same location as yours. It is not in my center console. I have a BCM and ANC module in there but no radio. I want to try to look in the area that you posted, but can't figure out how to remove that panel. I can get it started on the bottom of the door seal, towards the back side of the front door, but can't get more than 1 or 2 clips loose without feeling like I am going to break it. Are there some screws I have to remove or is it all clips? If it is just clips are they extremely tight to the point where you feel like something is going to break?

I have removed that panel on multiple vehicles and never had an issue. I hope there is something I am missing because I definitely have to remove that on both sides to run all of my wiring.

Thanks

I figured it out. You do just pull up on 3 clips from the back and the 2 clips in the front pull out towards the back of the vehicle. They were extremely tight and the clips stayed in the body instead of on the door seal like they were supposed to. I gave them a little squeeze before pulling them back on to hopefully make them a little looser next time. The bad part is I don't even think that was necessary. The radio is above the felt, not behind that panel, I guess I just overlooked it. I paid for a days subscription to that website. I am going through right now screenshotting the whole website...lol. It is going to be so unorganized I will probably never use it, but might as well do it while I can.

BTW: Did you radio have the same clips as mine in the picture? It looks like I have a grey and black.

Those were the same color plugs I tapped onto for my rca plugs. I have the pin out of the plugs somewhere if you need

That would definitely be helpful if you don't mind sharing. Thanks alot.

Has anyone installed a set of components in the front of the Blazer? I have a set of Morel Tempo Ultras on the way. I don't want to cut any factory wires if possible. I know that the front door speakers and dash speakers are just tied together, but I don't know where they tie together. My options would be to find where they split and try to install the crossovers there or pull a new wire from the dash into the door and install the crossovers in the door. I am just not so sure about that. I have heard it is hell to pull wire into the door of a newer model vehicle.
