Nice clean install. I have an 04 Silverado and I'm thinking about this stereo upgrade. I have the factory CD / Cassette in my truck. My CD player doesn't work but the Radio and Cassette player does. Good video , Thanks for the information !

if you file down the plastic around where the ac controls are just a little bit and put another 1/4” spacer behind the controls it fits perfectly

Absolutely fantastic job (kudos to your camera man also)! Definitely subscribed...

I forgot I was watching a installation video when the movie started 😂 I was legit into the movie 😂😂

Ok few notes about this who wants to do this. I've done the swap just like in the video and i want to share my experience. I have a 2002 GMC Yukon XL SLE. For starters i DON'T have the big center console i have the middle seat. Everything was running smooth until i had to take out the radio bucket. I couldnt reach the bottom bolt since the little bottom panel blocks the bolt. So glovebox and the driver side footwell panel thingy had to come out in order to get to it. Next, the 03-06 radio bucket fits in there pretty good just a little tight fit, the climate control is a tight squeeze in the radio bucket itself so it may want to pop out a little bit but once you get it in its all good. The last and biggest thing is the 03-06 dash bezel does not have a good fit on the right side (towards the radio and climate vents) since it's a little taller when put into place the little coin holder thing can no longer be opened, its stuck closed, and the car chargers are hard to see because the little flap cant open all thr way. Also it doesnt clip in on the bottom right all the way because of the glovebox panel, in the 2002's and older its a little bulkier and higher compared to the later models so i had to trim the bezel with a dremel on the bottom right side just to get it to clip in some what. Everything i said will also apply to 02 and older models with the center console as well because the coin holder, glove box and car charger ports are all in the exact position as models without the center console and its the same parts. If you dont mind everything i just said go ahead and do the swap but if you do mind don't do it. Personally it doesn't bother me toooo much but im going to swap in the old radio bucket without the metal bracket so that the double din can fit and buy a double din dash bezel. Either way good video

Buying one of the kits is the way to go IMO. It makes it much easier to remove the head unit when you get rid of the rig to go back to stock and if you spent $$ on a nicer head unit you can get more $$ back as no sane person pays extra for an aftermarket radio in a truck. get some extra $$ by selling the head unit separately.

@@DriverJsGarage That’s why you think ahead like I did. Buy an old work truck with 380k+ miles on it and dump money into it like there’s no tomorrow. Since you know there is no resale value you don’t have to worry about stuff like that.

For anybody who is planning on doing this. You don’t have to cut off the bottom left screw hole. You can actually just cut the radio cage where it hits it. And still use the screw hole. Also. If you have an ashtray i took the plastic off of mine with a philips screwdriver and it still hits the bezel when i try to open it. So if u wanna keep the ashtray you probably have to shave a very slim piece off the bottom of the bezel which is what i might do. Also my bezel was wedged up against the button on the left side of the climate control and was pressing it down so i had to shave a little off and u can’t even tell and the button is free now. I might just shave that whole side of the climate control hole so it will fit the climate control better. And instead of braking the clips off of the climate control, just shave them down and make them flat so you can use them as your spacers.

Brother, I have to address this...you hacked the F* out of this...I'm smart. #1: just cut the top off on the radio housing. #2: cut the angle of the steel flat rod. Fits fine.

By the time you can drill one rivet I'll be done by reaching in there with pliers and breaking what I need out. That step adds entirely too much time.

Too many people think chopping up the factory parts is the way to go because 'it saves $$' not realizing after doing this going back to stock requires buying more parts or just selling your fancy radio with the truck instead of returning it to stock to sell. There are now multiple companies that make conversion kits for a double DIN in a GMT-800 that don't require you to hack up your ride to get a modern head unit while allowing you to easily return to stock when you plan to sell/scrap the truck and move on.
