Brandon, thanks a whole lot for posting this video, it was a big help. I just finished installing the same radio into my 1999 Tahoe. The beauty of this radio is that you don't need to cut chunks of the dash out for to make room behind the radio. I tried 2 Pioneer models prior to the Kenwood, neither one would fit without cutting up the dash behind the radio, which I avoided. Again, thanks bushels for the video..........

[@whiplashtv2022]

You are very welcome! I am glad that it was helpful. My goal was to give people something that they could follow step by step. Don’t forget to upgrade those speakers next if you haven’t already. There is videos here on the channel on that as well!

Thanks for making the video! How are you liking the head unit after owning it for a year? How is the GPS feature on it?

[@whiplashtv2022]

You’re welcome. We love it and I bought the same unit again and put it in my 2012 Chevy Silverado LTZ. It is a good unit.

[@jimmycorbett4611]

My 1998 c1500 gmc truck came with a cubby in that slot instead of a CD player. Do you know if they slide out like yours did? I’m thinking about drilling a hole and making the usb go thru the cubby like you did. I like that bc you can’t see the wires. Other option is to connect it to the cigarette lighters but you would be able to see the usb for CarPlay/charging your phone. Also, your chord end was covered so I couldn’t tell, but is the end of that chord you have in the cubby a female or male end?

[@whiplashtv2022]

If your cubby is like mine then it should slide out. The USB is a female. That is what comes on all of these new head units from what I have seen. My Alpine head unit in my G8 is the same way.

[@Ron_Masterjohn]

What is a HDMI cable used for? Great video and thank you for making it and loading it on KZbin.

[@whiplashtv2022]

Thanks, you’re welcome! The HDMI cable is used for screen mirroring.

[@AdamSVT]

Question for you. How long does it take for the unit to connect to Apple CarPlay? I mean from the time that the boot screen comes on. I have the Kenwood version of that, the DMX8709S and it seems to take a pretty good amount of time to connect. Thank you.

[@whiplashtv2022]

It definitely takes longer than my Alpine ILX-507. However, it is still reasonably quick. If I start the vehicle and back out of my garage, it is connected before I am in drive and ready to take off down my driveway.

[@jaimeescalera2026]

Is the smaller connector on the back of the original radio for the CD player at the bottom? If so a new radio should work just with the adapter connector. But mine didn't work. I am going to all the connections in the harness again. I hope that's all it is.

[@whiplashtv2022]

Yes I believe that it is.

[@14bigtudo]

Amazing video im doing a single din install on my 97 tahoe do you happen to have a link for a good wire harness from factory to aftermarket

@whiplashtv2022 thank you bro

[@claytonfitzpatrick2833]

I was curious on the overall tuning options it has looking into this set up but want to see the range of tuning before hooking up to my amp

[@whiplashtv2022]

It has a lot of features and very good sound. I might have to do a video and review this head unit and the others that I own and have installed.

[@whiplashtv2022]

They are definitely good, but the Alpine has a better Parametric EQ which is superior to this model Kenwood’s Graphic EQ.

[@jbwright0162]

Will that trick with the parking break work with any double din I have a Alpine double din the shallow one an for some reason all my sitting are not on

[@whiplashtv2022]

No, it won’t work on every brand double din.

[@pecsxj1]

Hey man, great video. Was wondering if the bezel trim piece around the stereo would work on an 02 Sierra 2500 with the din and a half sized stock stereo.

[@whiplashtv2022]

I can’t remember what year the dash changed. I believe the 2002 uses this same kit, but double check that to be sure. I think the dash changed in 2003.

[@pecsxj1]

You are correct, i looked, and it says it will fit!!

[@whiplashtv2022]

@@pecsxj1 awesome

[@edwardd9660]

Can you possibly link the crutchfield harness because I’m having trouble finding it

[@whiplashtv2022]

I don’t have a link. When you are picking out your head unit, go to the section where they show you the accessories that you need, and I want to say that it was during checkout that they offered the ready made harness.

[@lunsy9420]

When you have the dash and old radio out is it easier to replace the flasher for the bliknkers?

[@whiplashtv2022]

I’m not sure about that.

[@charlieschleuger7949]

Is that parking brake grounding the same for all Kenwoods double dins?

As far as I know, it is the same. Never hurts to double check that though.

[@ernestmullins4109]

Will this double din work in 2005 GMC Yukon from your knowledge currently have a Pioneer 5.8?

Yes it will. You will just need this dash kit to make it fit. amzn.to/3sgVXWT

Does Crutchfield solder the wiring together or quick connects? 😊

I didn’t peel it apart to see. Whatever they did worked and is still making connection perfectly.

Do you need the GPS black box by window if your using android auto or apple

[@whiplashtv2022]

Yes, it uses it for a more percise map location when using your navigation.

[@ctbans]

I’ve been looking into upgrading my head unit but as my 97 c1500 single cab has no security at all (crank windows and manual locks) my fear is my truck being broken into for the radio. So for now the old head unit for Walmart will do 😢

[@whiplashtv2022]

Put an aftermarket alarm on and tint those windows.

[@jorgedm15]

Hey sir quick question. If I only had the option of leaving the bottom factory cd part, would the double din still fit?

[@whiplashtv2022]

Yes, you can leave the factory cd part if you want to and the double din will still fit with this kit.

[@raleh1]

If I leave the old CD still works with the Kenwood ? or I need to do modificacion in the wiring ?

@titoham-DCXLsthe harness is not going to mess with running an aftermarket amp and it won’t affect whether you run aftermarket speakers or stock speakers. The harness is simply making the connection between the vehicle wiring and the Head Unit.

[@manuelbahena4292]

Would this stereo fit on a 1993 chevy silverado like where the cassette player is? It is a really nice stereo.

The GPS antenna will pick up just as many satellites through the dash as not... on top of the center vent works fine. And speaking of GPS, if you drive one of these trucks that isn't a POS, you're insane if you don't have a tracker installed. Your insurance will flat-out screw you.
