There are way too many ways to wire this unit to other components. You can buy a GM wiring harness and integration box to fit your truck that will get you power and factory speaker wires to connect to the unit. If you plan on using navigation or amplifiers, those and other options are custom and will vary with your needs. Check out the metra pages to fathom the possibilities.
The best way to install an aftermarket stereo is to go to a stereo installation store and get the in dash "metra" kit and the wiring harness adapter that allows you to connect the aftermarket stereo wiring to the factory wiring on the truck...the "metra" kit adapts the aftermarket radio to fit into the space for your particualar vehicle..the tech at the stereo store will know what all this means if they know what they are doing...To clarify, "metra" is a brand name for these kits andthey also go by the name scoshe...
There are companies out there that make installation harnesses. There are two companies that we (my shop) use currently. Metra and Best Kits. For a dashboard installation kit I recommend going with Metra but for the harness it doesn't really matter. You should be able to get both for under $20 each. The websites where you can get part numbers for both the harness and dash kit are metraonline.com and bestkits.com. The installation harness makes the job a lot easier. The wires are color coded with the majority of the head units out there. Use **** connectors or crimp caps. Not just electrical tape like most bozos out there. Good Luck!
According to Metra you are using the right dash kit you just need to figure out the alignment for the radio. It will take some time but you will get it. Try to pull the head unit forward on the mount kit for the clearance.
you will ned some accessories to put it in properly.
1. 99-3413 metra install braket. will ease the mounting.
2. 70-1761 metra wire kit will allow you to fly through the hookup.
you will be able to get these parts at your local stereo install shop.
when you purchase the mounting kit the instructions on how to remove and reinstall your cd player will be in the instructions. illistrations and all.
