Good morning, I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado 1500 LT 4x4 Extended cab and when I purchased it (used) it didn't have a radio, sooo... My question is what do I do when someone cut the radio harness all the way back to just under the steering wheel? I want to install a double din like in this video. It also doesn't have speakers. Should I just go to a junkyard and look for the complete radio harness or just add wire to the somewhat existing harness?
I am looking to put a new radio and add a backup camera to my son's 2000 Blazer ZR2 4x4. Can you advise me on anything different that I might need to do with that setup?
Why do others show having to change the internal metal frame that holds the deck and climate control to the dash? I don’t get that, if all you need to change is the plastic over their front like here???
Hi Cris, I got a Sony XAV-AX150 and I got it wired to the plug to the Sony but I have a blue wire and two from the Sony called "reverse in" and REM OUT. What do I do with those wires? I'm putting it in a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado.
Where were the yellow and red wire running from? I’m pretty sure this is a common thing to do on 2002 Chevy’s to get correct power due to that amp in the glove box
No need to run manual wiring for 1999 - 2002 vehicles as they hadn't yet migrated to a canbus system. The harness has constant 12v and accessory in it, and the use of a harness adapter (linked in description) is what you will need for wiring. 2003 - 2006 moved to a canbus system, and a smart harness is required going forward.
I am seriously considering this unit for my 2002 2500HD (9 inch version) but just saw that Apple carplay requires it to be wired. That is not a deal breaker, but my new car has wireless Apple carplay, and it sure is nice. Any units by sony or anyone else with wireless carplay? Great job on explaining the install though. Thanks
I have 4 wires left over (2 greys, a purple/white and a dark blue (I assume antenna)). I have power to my unit, but sound does not come through the speakers. On my head unit, I have antenna, reverse and park left over. Any ideas?
im trying to get sirius radio to work on my newly installed sony. you dont mention any cables for this. do i have to also purchase a satellite radio vehicle tuner? and how would that hook up?
Well it depends, constant 12v on the Metra 70-1858 harness adapter is yellow, red is 12v switched accessory and black is ground. Either you have the wrong harness, or sounds like you may have cut the factory harness off.
Could you just trim the factory bezel and not spend over a hundred dollars on cheap plastic? If you can get the brackets separately is there any reason why that wouldn't work?
Depends on the radio that needs to be installed. Some installs, if the radio is deep full double din, yes, we have had to cut the dash. In this install, since the sony had a single din smaller chassis, we did not need to cut anything.
Okay I have an issue, my radio sound turns off then I turn my headlights on. It’s the same radio and it’s a 2000 siearra. I had to redo the factory wiring. The only colors not matched is the dark greens cause there is so many

Test fitted a pioneer double din it didn’t go all the way in and the dash bessel would fit good on the left side but it wouldn’t sit right on the right side even with the stereo off the Bessel would hit the left side of the stereo
@@musty.diesel If the guts of the radio take up the entire double din space, you have to cut out the metal brace behind the radio basket and also trim the radio basket to make it fit. The head unit in this video has it's guts crammed into a single din container, allowing it to clear the brace without modification. If you really wanted to, you could even put the radio used in this video into a single din dash kit, albeit it'll look extremely ghetto and could easily be stolen.
Just gotta connect it on the wiring harness but not all aftermarket stereos are compatible with it. You’ve just got to find an aftermarket stereo that supports your steering wheel controls.
@@ProvoBeastAudio from 1999 to 2003 theres a kit for double din to cut and looks clean.specially yukons and escalade you loose the wood grain or graphite texture.and they don't make a kit for that.
@@GabrielTheRUclipsr radio chassis size, irrelevant to the actual screen size. Screen size could be upwards to 10+ inches (float mount screens) and still have a standard size (4" tall) double din chassis.
Refers to the standard size of a radio, whether factory or aftermarket. 1999 - 2002 had a 1.5 din size tall (3" tall) radio, but most aftermarket radios are either 1 din (2" tall) or 2 din (4" tall) hence the need for a dash bezel conversion for those that want a touch screen in your GM.
I'm not sure if you actually watched the video as this truck was a 2002..And literally showed you how to install a double din in a 1.5" din location...
8 agree its not a double din install only a large screen single din ...I installed a double din pioneer touch screen in my 99 silverado trimmed the opening a little 5op and bottom added custom side panels it looks like it came like that. Your video is informative and if you want it to look super clean okay but I was more concerned with keeping my original dash beze and avoiding the cost of Metra bezel and then buying paint to match the interior but great job
The ac control won’t be an exact fit on 03 an newer is a little thinner and wider but and you would have to adjust the oem 01 ac control downward a tad bit still doable

i dont like that it doesnt match the rest of the dash do these come with the right color
do I have to get a new dash or is that something your customer wanted just so it would look pretty?
For years 2002 and older, in order to do a standard double din, you will need the dash conversion kit.
What’s the part number? It’s Not in the description.
How much are the brackets i need for 2000 gmc sierra. And where can i buy them??
So did you have to set anything up or was it all just pretty much plug and play?

If I were to get a bezel from an 04, 05, would that work instead of buying an aftermarket bezel?
The cutout for the heating and air controls are different on the refreshed 2003+ model unfortunately. So it really just doesn't fit correctly.
What's the size of the opening now
Can i get it on ebay?? I seen the bezel anf the harness with brackets for like 80 dollars?? Can i use the one?
Is the new bezel just an 03-06 bezel?
Have a question for you bud which one would be the hot wire for a 02 GMC Yukon Denali not seeing red
Well it depends, constant 12v on the Metra 70-1858 harness adapter is yellow, red is 12v switched accessory and black is ground. Either you have the wrong harness, or sounds like you may have cut the factory harness off.
Can you use the wiring harness from the aftermarket stereo you already had in?
yes you can. the wire harness is compatible with any aftermarket radio
No alterations have to be made in behind the radio if this bezel is used?
none it should go right in
Would you be able to use a 03-06 bezel instead of that one?
The dash internals are totally different. We've tried, but the AC controls and dash opening / clips are totally different.
Could you just trim the factory bezel and not spend over a hundred dollars on cheap plastic? If you can get the brackets separately is there any reason why that wouldn't work?
Depends on how you want the end result to look like. If you want to hack the dash and are okay with how it looks, go for it.
Just a thought. You could sell your original OEM dash on eBay for around $80-$200 depending, which would cut the cost down nicely.
Exactly what I was thinking, just wish I had an idea of where to cut for the best result.
your sterio box says it has andriod auto but the one linked on amazon says it does not. can anyone help me out
Hi, my truck came with the radio wires cut, how do I know which wires to connect?
Either locate a new factory harness to reattach and do it the right way, or Google your stereo wiring diagram for your year.
Bezel part number ?!? I can’t find it so can you please just shoot it to me?
Did you cut the sub dash for this install?

Sounds like a wiring issue to me and something isn't right. We suggest visiting your local audio shop for assistance.
So the wiring harness comes with the mounting brackets?
the dash replacement comes with the brackets
will this fit a 2004 gmc sonoma?
Didn’t see a part number for those brackets on the side of the radio itself, where it “snaps in”
It's included with the dash kit bezel. No separate part needed.
How do we know if our trucks have a factory amp or not. Also does sony offer that style of a radio with NAV?

Is anyone from this channel still checking comments? Do the accessories used here only work for that Sony radio? Or can it be any radio?
Chris here, works for any double din. 😉
You didn’t mention the possibility of factory amp being a thing at all why is that?
Because the radio installed works with all trims, not just the base trim.

what is the difference between the 03 bezel and an aftermarket bezel? I have an 01 silverado and I have access to an 03.
Also do you need to use an 03 radio bucket, or does the kit allow you to use the original bucket?
GM redesigned the dash in 2003. It is not a directly swap which is why the dash bezel conversion is suggested.
The ac control won’t be an exact fit on 03 an newer is a little thinner and wider but and you would have to adjust the oem 01 ac control downward a tad bit still doable
