I'm not familiar with 00+ electronics where the chime comes through the speakers. But I can bump this for you.

Sounds like a wiring issue. Did you use the PAC module? Is this a fresh install or has it been in the car for awhile and just started this?

I would start by checking the wiring. Our stereos are turned on by a signal on the serial bus. When the chimes are triggered, the harness you purchased is supposed to energize the radio and sound the chimes. When the ignition is turned on, the radio should be energized and able to be operated.

It sounds like the chime signal is connected, but the radio on is not.
