GMC Sierra/Chevy Silverado Radio/Stereo/Deck Installation/Replacement Video

[@DoyleFM]

You obviously recognize what a HUGE BENEFIT it is for the viewer when the narrator provides part numbers, tools & tool sizes, etc. Top notch video! 👍🏻👍🏻 🇺🇸

[@DoyleFM]

We did an installation on a 2000 Silverado this evening & your video was instrumental in the process. Thank you again! 👊🏻 🇺🇸

[@aroldfut]

EXACTLY what I needed to swap my dead CD player out of my truck. Well done and great tutorial!

[@trevorlayne9412]

I'm only 16 but I watched this because after Covid 19 I'm going to work on getting my Permit and get a job and after I get me a truck I'll put a new stereo in it Thank you for the tutorial!!

Did u do it?

Dude, exactly what I was looking for! Same stereo and all. Thanks for the upload!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Glad to help!

Awesome video I'm using this video to remove a aftermarket pioneer radio from a 2002 GMC SIERRA 1500 and install it in my 1986 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Brougham doing some reverse engineering and using this video to save me time and give me a better understanding of how it's mounted in and how I'll be doing the installation on my G body peace ✌️ and much respect to you Jason

[@corytryon6374]

Awesome video. Thanks for the how to. I'm putting a new Sony head unit in my 2000 GMC. I'll use your video for my reference. Thanx again!!

[@bobgetler4468]

Tony, very helpful. Thank you. The directions with the Metra 99-3002 frame were crap at best. I realize margins may be tight but one more sheet of paper or dare a say a 10 minute effort for Metra to create a KZbin video would have saved me some time. I went with the soldering method given the super low audio voltages involved but I doubt anyone could tell a difference given these low end components and speakers. Great video. Thank you for taking the time to make it!

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Haha, yes, their instructions are no good. Glad to be of help!

[@mikemaddox2207]

Why would you need a radio adaptor? I had a 99 Mazda that didn't need one.

[@OllieBabaSan]

Part numbers?? Your video should be the template for all installation videos. Thanks for this.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Appreciate the feedback! All parts used are linked in the video description. If you want the part numbers to source somewhere else, the factory part numbers should be listed somewhere on those pages.

[@DuranMedine]

They sell a cheap pocket/cubby hole for the center console where the outboard tape player for the '99-'02 Silverado/Sierra.

[@MrHuck]

Duran Medine I remember looking for one back in 2000 when putting my stereo in. End up buying some thin metal at Home Depot and made one. Looks good though and never tried to find one. Now finally going to put a Bluetooth stereo and gotta figure out mic placement.

[@MariahFullbright-z3b]

I am always impressed when the screen flips to sports or pornography. It’s super exciting on pioneer because that’s not Sony right?

[@damndatstuff9341]

What kind of harness would i need to get? I have a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe LS 2WD the only things I’ve done with the audio is door speakers and the factory subwoofer it has the same factory head unit you have

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I've got everything I used linked in the video description. If you think yours is different, you could always verify online at like Best Buy or Crutchfield by year/make/model.

[@CousinCleatus]

I will be doing an install video on my 2003 Tahoe with the bose system. I will installing a double din and bypassing the bose amp and all.

[@chucknaranjo1446]

Dude thank you brother so much for this video. You rock brother. I needed this I was struggling with the install. I saw you do this and I got it right. Thanks again.

[@peytonsmallwood4616]

If I did this would I have to hook up the microphone it would I be able to use it without it?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You can use the radio without the mic, you just won’t have Bluetooth voice command or be able to talk to people on the phone.

[@andycoslet6479]

That's why the car God's made duplicolor

[@BAPEMCM]

Wait was I suppose to disconnect my battery from my Silverado or leave it connected to install the stereo?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Doesn’t matter as long as you don’t touch power to ground 😋 But it’s a good idea to disconnect the battery.

[@BAPEMCM]

Tony The Truck Guy alright thanks!

[@kevincaravantes6972]

Can you link the steering wheel control bro. Really interested. Nice video

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Mine didn’t have steering wheel controls but I’m guessing you are referring to the module that lets you use factory steering wheel controls. Double check that it works on your vehicle, but this is what I used on my Jeep with steering wheel controls - axxessinterfaces.com/product/ASWC-1

[@kevincaravantes6972]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy mine don't have it either but I would like something like that

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@@kevincaravantes6972 Oh I see. I guess I’m not sure how you would ADD steering wheel controls, this module just allows you to retain steering wheel controls if you already have them and switched to an aftermarket deck. You’d need a whole new wheel and do a bunch of wiring at minimum to add a wheel like that.

[@kevincaravantes6972]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy that's what I was thinking too. I need a new steering wheel with the audio control. Thank you thoe

Do u know what the other plug in back of stock radio is for

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

If you mean the little one I think it’s for the cassette player lol

[@codygordon5202]

Thank you

[@danielv75]

Does the filler panel fit for any brand single din stereo?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I would say yes. There was no specific stereo fitment guide anywhere on the filler panel

[@luiscontreras1703]

Did u get sound from the six speakers? I replaced the radio and i installed same harness but spakers on rear doors dont work...

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I guess I never sat in back so I can’t say for certain, but I swear they did work. I sold the truck otherwise I’d check. Make sure you have the proper colored wires and stripes connected. Also made sure the fade and balance on the radio are centered.

[@joshhudson8088]

My am/fm goes through all four speakers but when I put it in bluetooth or aux it only comes out the passenger side speakers any ideas

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

That’s very weird. You should google your radio make and model followed by “only sound on 1 side” and see if other people are having the same issues. I would say wiring but that wouldn’t make sense of everything works on radio. Almost sounds like radio or phone issue.

[@pickle6583]

How did your radio turn on without the battery? Do you need to plug it back in before you turn it on? Or do you even need to unplug it? (the battery)

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I probably didn’t unhook mine. You don’t HAVE to disconnect it, but I recommend it because if you aren’t careful, you can blow fuses or short out some wires.

[@pickle6583]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy Okay cool, thanks! I'll prolly just unhook mine to be safe.

[@hunterlucas7685]

I have a wiring harness but I’m missing the orange wire and a blue with white wire. Is that an issue?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Blue with white should be just auxiliary for subs if you have them and I can’t remember what orange is for. If you don’t have subs, I would hook everything up and see what happens. If memory serves me right there have been other people that also didn’t have the orange wire.

[@hunterlucas7685]

Tony The Truck Guy thanks for the reply, I went ahead and hooked it up as is and I just ordered a mounting kit and a new wiring harness just in case. I did notice that the speaker in my drivers side door doesn’t work now. That could have to do with the missing wires. Do you know which antenna adapter I need? It’s a 2002 GMC Sierra and it’s a Sony CDX-GT200 radio

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I think green, purple, white, and gray are your speaker wires. Should be 2 of each color. I would check your connection on those and make sure something isn’t loose cause like I said blue is just for sub/amp and orange usually isn’t used. If your factory antenna doesn’t plug directly into your Sony, you likely need the same antenna adapter I used.

[@truluikai]

Super helpful thanks man!!!

[@morbjrn5265]

I usually go with JVC when it comes to radios. I inherited a 00 Sierra and a 00 Safari. When I settle the estate Im using some of the money left to replace the radios.

[@donovanstrieby3699]

But I'm gonna put in subs so do I need an amp harness or the regular

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Sorry for the late reply, 300+ comments were "being held for review" for some reason. I think the amp harness is only if you have factory subs. As long as the normal harness has a blue wire, that should be your amp feed for aftermarket amp.

[@larrybaudoin1635]

Cassette deck plug that one I love everything to

[@carterbone7667]

Helped a lot thanks

[@adamdohogne8053]

What did you do with the other green and red harness??

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

I don’t think I ever ended up using it. I’m pretty sure it’s just for the cassette player.

[@TripleCurlProductions]

Can anyone help me find the dash kit for 03 and up or will this one fit

Are you doing a single din radio like I did, or a double din? Type in your year/make/model here and it should pull up what you need - www.metraonline.com/

man thanks for the video say what kind of radio u have thats clean

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

No problem bud! It's a Sony MEX-N5100BT.

[@CristianLopez-ho8rf]

How would you remove the stereo with the metal bent?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

You just pull the filler panel with the radio still in it and then bend the metal tabs back down if you need to get the radio out of the filler panel for some reason.

[@CristianLopez-ho8rf]

@@TonyTheTruckGuy do you just pull on the filler panel? or are their tabs you have to squeeze or screws?

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

@Cristian Lopez Depends on the filler panel but this one has a plastic tab on each side you push down while you pull.

[@rudylara8541]

Mine works once my truck is off but as soon as i turn it on the radio turns on but wont play music

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Are all of the wires connected properly and crimped well?

[@rudylara8541]

Yes

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

So the display works but there’s no sound?

[@rudylara8541]

Yea , i have a pioneer radio do u think thats the problem

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Check all fuses in the fuse box under the hood as well as the one by the drivers door. If those are good, see if there’s any fuses on the back of the radio. If those are good, check your ground. That’s the most common issue.

[@donovanstrieby3699]

Would this fit a 98 Chevy Z71

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

The radio itself should, but you’ll need different wiring and antenna adapters as well as filler panel.

[@donovanstrieby3699]

Similar steps but different parts since it’s a different body style.

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

[@Octavio_Baeza]

Tony The Truck Guy no I’m putting a single din in my 2002 Sierra extended cab so the one you have should work

[@Ellieverse123]

You don't need to get a antenna cable because you can use electric tape for the GM antenna cable

Make sure everything is plugged in all the way and all the wire colors are properly matched. Also if you used butt connectors like I did, make sure all your crimps are tight and make sure they are actually crimping the metal wire and not just the insulation. Does the radio at least turn on?

Tony The Truck Guy the thing that the new radio goes in and it like holds it in place I guess Idk I tried the read the package but I couldn’t see anything except multi kit

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Oh just the filler panel. Are you doing a single din radio like me, or doing a bigger double din?

[@bigbrdbeats8958]

Tony The Truck Guy single...I think...idk much about radios I just know how to put em in now lol

[@TonyTheTruckGuy]

Haha no worries. A normal one like mine is a single din. A double din is the bigger ones which are normally a touch screen display. The double din is the more expensive route as the radios themselves are usually more, and you have to buy an all new dash panel to make it fit, which I think is only available in black.
