After showing you the new to me NBS GMC Sierra Stepside and talking about all the fixes it needed. It was time to do some of them. The Dash is cracked, The radio bezel is cracked and the radio was missing. I was tired of looking at an empty hole. In this video I show you how to install a radio in a nbs silverado or sierra. This radio install is for 2003 to 2006 and 2007 Classic gmc sierra and chevy silverado. The upside to these years are that they had a factory double din radio. It is so much better than the 99-02 models that came with a din and a half radio. I have used this Pioneer Double din in several trucks and cars and for a budget radio it is hard to beat. I did some normal OCD cleaning as I was installing the radio. The other upside is this has steering wheel radio controls. I wanted to keep or retain the swc so I used a Pac harness. The pac harness allows you to keep the factory steering wheel radio controls. While I was doing that, I also installed a new USB for charging phones or Apple carplay and android auto. The one I used fits great in the CLA spot. To finish it all out I had a new dash bezel and a short antenna. If you are looking for a new radio or the parts needed to install a radio or stereo in a NBS silverado or Sierra this is a must watch how to. I love the new screen and all the features it has over the stock radio.Hit the Comments and let me know what you think.......

You can put a 2014/18 jump seat top in it and install the usb inside or use the one already in it. Plus the 3 cup holders are really nice.

[@TWAMotorsports]

May look into that

[@ItsHoodieTime]

So you can attach just the actual console portion from a 2014-18 to the pre existing seat? Like you don’t have to buy/ find the whole jump seat?

[@TWAMotorsports]

I believe so

[@Teratoma-T]

I bought one of the DMH series Pioneers for my 2010, basically exactly like this.... Unfortunately it's been sent back to Pioneer twice for "repairs", and still is a P.OS.. this kills me. I've used Pioneers for years now issue, but these DMH radios are hot garbage. They won't buy it back, only attempt a "repair", which involves them factory resetting the unit which might work well for a week or two. The unit freezes constantly, randomly increases or decreased volume, turns off audio to random speakers, etc... I sure hope others have had better luck, I am absolutely pissed with Pioneer over their handling of my issues.

[@TWAMotorsports]

I haven't had that issue thankfully

I was hoping that was the green truck! I wanted to see how you put the column in with steering wheel controls. I know you can put a 2006 Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade/Denali complete cloumn in, but I dont think you can use the steering wheel controls in an older 99 to 02. Guess I will have to go with the wireless type of control, only thing is they look like an ugly afterthought on the wheel.
