New Radio Installed in the NBS GMC Sierra (Steering Wheel Controls Working)

[@TristanStoner]

Would love to see a video comparing the pros and cons or at least the differences of 99-02 vs 03-06 trucks one day!!

[@TWAMotorsports]

I can do that

I will definitely be doing it.

[@genegalpin556]

Got to say, I love your videos. Super informative. And great narration. I'm doing a 2003 Silverado now. And you hit on almost everything I want to do. And thanks for listing the items you are installing. Also super helpful. Keep it up buddy!

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@VenomWorks]

Nice job man, love how clean those radios look.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. Me too

[@SurferJoe46]

'05 Sierra Crew Cab SLE steering wheel controls and I wanted to keep them. Went through Crutchfeld and got their adapter, a Boss head and front & rear cameras, used 4 new 6.75" Tri-ax Harmon-Kardon speakers. doors already had tweeters. Everything worked right out of the box.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Nice

[@danorourke5184]

Looks like your back in your element A lowered truck, I like it better than the last one. Looking forward to seeing you give it the Travis touch! Thanks

Thank you. Yeah I have a problem when I see them for sale. Lol

Good Job my friend 🎉

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you

[@TheDirtyHobo23]

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

[@TWAMotorsports]

Thank you. I agree. Looks way better

[@leviwoodring6101]

I could only get one side of my controls to work. Used a different thing then the pack. Tryed for like 2hrs. Gave up. Can control the volume though. So works for me. My radio is not technically supported by the interface. Atoto s8.

It looks like you have the same front seat that folds up for a 3rd passenger --- do you know if there is any access into the lower cushion for a little extra storage? .... just asking .....

[@TWAMotorsports]

Don't think so

[@markbarilleauii6337]

Hey Travis, I think you could have plugged the RCA's into the radio like an amp. They should work like that.

[@TWAMotorsports]

Are you kidding me. Lol

[@Deleting-xk3su]

Would it be different if the truck had oem bose package?? With a amp ect

[@TWAMotorsports]

May require a different harness

I also installed my screen radio but it stays on it doesn’t turn off with the key I don’t understand I already check the cables many times and they are well connected

I’ve been trying to change my radio on my 03 silverado and i went to turn the key for the new radio to turn on and it didn’t why does that happen my truck does have onstar and steering wheel controls with the bose system do i need to just buy a interface module ?

[@robertmarsh5786]

Travis. Do you have a video on putting a temp rear view mirror in a NBS that wasn't originally equipped with one?

[@robertmarsh5786]

@@TWAMotorsports ok, I'll look for it. Thx

[@SurferJoe46]

Just install it --- the wiring is already there but you may have to add the sensor. It's easy as the access splice-pack is christmas-treed to the left fender and right next to the fuse/relay panel. I can get photos of the correct connection if you like --- in a day or so.

[@camgarrett8485]

I have a 2007 GMC classic with steering wheel controls and Bose. Did this with the same radio the other night but it doesn’t turn on unless I match the red and yellow together but then it doesn’t turn off. Different harness I don’t have one with a dial any ideas ? Gotta be something simple I matched all colors together and ran all the grounds into 1

What year is this truck? Im wondering if i can upgrade a 2001 chevy silverado steering wheel to a 03-07 steering wheel with controls would you have any insight about that?

[@TWAMotorsports]

No you can't easily

[@ivaneatoniii5025]

you can with ease. you get your steering wheel control programing unit and you program it to the unit your retaining. if they both have the features. they will work

[@SurferJoe46]

To have SWC, you need the whole column because of the clockspring and the rest of the wiring. It's not easy and there might be some serious computer problems unless you can write code.

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.
