Is there an easy way to install an aftermarket radio using stock wiring in a 93 Chebbie K1500? Im looking to replace the tape deck with an aftermarket Dual radio (its a work truck, not a pleasure cruiser).

I would suggest you spice the wires back to stock harness by male and female connections and tape over them with black tape then get a stereo install kit that includes a wiring harness ( cost about $20 maybe or less) for the year of truck you have... it will plug right to your stock harness ...never just cut stock stereo wires from stock plug it will be more of a headache than you think trust me I've installed all my own stereo system been there done that... good luck

stock car? if stock the fuses are in the fuse box.
at left ankle , up. (marked RADIO)
not stock , cars can be anything, not stock is infinitely wired.
if not stock only hands on man can fix it. for obvious reasons.

DVD player. ? its not a stock integrated system.
DVD what , mP3? tells me if true, its aftermarket, if so ]
do post the makers name and deck, part number.
can answer this , if accurate input is given
pretend , im blind.

Did the xplod deck work correctly before you installed it? When it cuts out does it loose all its memory and setting and go back to factory defaults? It is possible that the deck is faulty.

If the aftermarket deck has a amp wire you will have to wire it into the lead that controls the amp relay. You will have to get the schematic for your electrical system to locate the 12 volt trigger wire for the relay that turns on the delco/bose amp. that way everytime you turn on the deck the amp will also turn on.

connect the wires as indicated below

Your aftermarket radio should have color-coded wires which identifies power, ground, speakers, etc. most depaetment stores carry a radio harness adapter kit. This will connect to your radio's exact color coded wires, and will plug right in to your factory's wiring plug. And don't forget electrical tape.

you can buy a radio wiring harness at a discount store or an aut parts store, it comes with directions. Hope this helps Tim

In most cases the antenna plug directly into the back of the radio. But GM came up with this crazy 3 piece stereo system. You have the display/selector, the tape deck/EQ, and the tuner. The antenna will be pluged into the tuner which is buried deep into the dash above the acceleator slightly to the right. I have installed close to 100 stereos and this threw me for a loop. Follow the tape deck/eq wiring harness to find it. Happy hunting.

is this a post raido or flat face? flat faces will have din pins 2 hole each side of raido have to get a tool to remove --also get wire adp. frm parts store will b -easy that way
