- Here is how to install an aftermarket car stereo in an 95 to 98 GM truck. This will work on any SUV made by General Motors, including Chevrolet trucks and GMC trucks. Installing a stereo in a Chevy truck is pretty easy. The dash panels just pop loose, and if you have the right adapter, you can just unplug the old radio and plug the new one in.If you are looking to upgrade the stereo in your old GM truck, this video shows you how to replace the radio in a Chevrolet or GMC truck.
Here is where to get the adapter kit:

I just noticed a nice place to smuggle stuff in, thank you 🙏🏻 ❤
You’re welcome
I recently installed a kenwood BT225U Bluetooth radio into my 1997 GMC Sierra K1500. In the box had the radio, an adapter, and the Bluetooth radio mic. I personally didn’t put an antenna gender adapter to put into the radio. If your careful, you can put the antenna into the stereo and still have radio connection.
I would recommend mounting the Bluetooth mic at a spot in your vehicle where there is no obstruction to your voice for maximum performance.
Good advice. Thanks.
You saved me a few hours of my life. Thank you very much!
You’re welcome
My rear speakers don’t work but my front ones do and I redid the wires with connectors 🤷♂️😂 but they all work with the factory stereo
You probably have a factory amp... it is under you driver's seat. I had to cut the wires and bypass it.
@@davidhogeland5493 dog Ik this is a old comment but how did you get ur rear speakers to work I can’t figure it out
I think I'm just gonna leave my cassette player installed and use it more.. Now, if I can only find some cassettes! haha
Thanks. I have a 95 Tahoe as well, and I think I'm confident enough now to try the swap myself!
I wouldnt have labeled this 88 to 98 because your dash is entirely & completely different that the years before it. However it would be appreciated if you were to explain how rhe older models are done.
Thanks. I rename the video. The body style was the same for all those years, but they redesigned the interior in 95.
Does it work on 95 GMC Sierra
Best video I found for removal of radio and CD player. Thanks!
You’re welcome
Everything is in and put back together. But the right side of the stereo won’t plug in. It’s hanging by the left side
Look at the radio under the heater control what is that for
Wiring diagram please for factory main harness
Metra 99-3002 dash kit $12.00 Ebay or $22 Crutchfield...there you go
Thanks!
Push downs and clicky things were confusing thanks for the help.😉
You're welcome!
What if you're trying to drop a double DIN touch screen into your 98 GMC is that possible with out extreme modifications also the tape deck/ CD player has been removed
I’m sure it’s possible, but I don’t know how you do it. You have to move all the air-conditioning controls down.
Metra double din kit
Just did this swapped in a Dual DC505iBT...watch out they don't warn it's insanely bright. I should have read the reviews.
You guys are Chevy guys for sure
Super informative thank you so much
You’re welcome.
Nice vid...good 4 me right now....thans.
You’re welcome
I'm surprised you didn't test it before putting dash together.
What did you do with the parking brake light? I don’t know where to put that one
Do you have any others I could use because the one you have linked is no longer available
When I test my wires the orange and yellow seem to be both constant? It’s got me really confused.
What does the purple wire with the white stripe go to
Where do you find the adapter for the radio to fit
There’s a link in the description.
Was there a silver box that the radio plugged intoalso and what speakers do you recommend
I know Im quite off topic but does anyone know of a good site to watch new movies online ?
@Keenan Jaime I use Flixzone. You can find it on google =)
What about factory amp
Where do i get the adapter wiring harness and did the smaller of the 2 come with the radio?
Mine recently stopped working .. do you know what might of happened ?
I put in the aftermarket blue tooth radio and it won’t even turn on anymore at all
Check the fuse in the fuse panel and check if the radio itself has a fuse in the back by the connectors
96 Chevy 1500 _ Kenwood CD player stuck in protect mode any fix?
I think there’s a secret code written in the user manual that came with the truck, and you have to know what it is. It’s different for every radio.
Did your dimmer work after this install? I recently installed a stereo in my truck and my dimmer isn’t working.
Yes. It still works.
Bret N Butter, my dimmer worked after installing a stereo into my 1997 GMC Sierra K1500. Your headlight connector probably is not connected in far enough.
Or you didn't use the illumination wire right
Do you need to install new speakers or can i just use the stock ones?
You can use the stock ones.
Where did you get your adapter I have a Chevy Tahoe 99 and I’m using a pioneer radio
There’s a link in the video description to where you can get the adapter.
The Sony MEX-XB100BT is one of the perfect aftermarket radios to put in a car that does not have a dashboard clock separated from the radio.
You probably didn't know this, but the sub-info display at the top of the display window can display the clock instead of the source name.
Thanks. It is strange that it doesn’t show the clock by default.
nice install!
Thanks.
What's the part number for the dash kit
Are wire colors correct?
How preset stations 95 cheyenne1500
What are the harness and stereo kit part numbers
It’s in the description.
Can u do a video for Installation for a double or single din radio
Sorry. I won’t be putting another stereo in this truck for a while. The whole is too small for a two din stereo. The one I installed in the video is a single din, but I used an adapter plate.
Ok thanks a lot I’ll look into it
what radio and adapter?
where did you get that adapter for the wiring harness?
I bought it on eBay along with the 1.5 hole adapter kit. If you buy from a stereo store like Crutchfield, they include it along with the stereo.
This is a Chevrolet Silverado K1500
thanks I needed this info.
You’re welcome
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️👍🇸🇦
What is the radio model and where did you order all wires and dash kit
It is a Sony MEX Radio. They probably have a better model out by now because this was a few years ago, but that series of radios comes with a built-in amplifier, so the sound is much better and louder than other radios. I’ve bought radios from Crutchfield in the past, and they always give you everything you need along with the radio. The wiring harness is free with it.
I’m trying to install my radio in the same year truck. I connect all the wires together with its corresponding color and it doesn’t seem to work. What could be the issue?
I cant get my door speakers to come on at all but my subs are working fine
Same
Same is there any solution
Hi,this is Jem from binize car stereo,we are interested in your video of car stereo, plz tell us how to contact you~
So I want to swap out my stock cassette player with a stock CD player. I go to a car stereo place and the guy tells me it cannot be done. WTF...
That’s odd. It can definitely be done. It is a weird size though. You have to buy the adapter plate for one and a half dim.
I will look into that. Thanx
Put the same head unit in my dually
What dash kit did you use
The link is in the video description. Thanks for watching.
Do you still have the old stereo?
No.
2:50 that's what she said
Your voice sounds off... did you get new software?
That’s my holiday weekend hangover voice. It sounds better than my real voice. I wish it would stay this way.
Can you link the adapter?
I know Crutchfield sells them, or you can go on eBay and enter the year of your vehicle and find one that way too.
are you working for the radio now?
My son wanted to be able to use Bluetooth in the old truck, so we upgraded the radio. It sounds way better than the factory radio.

where can i get the adapters cant find them my walmart dont have them thanks
I know Crutchfield sell them, and if you enter the year and model of your vehicle into eBay, you can probably find one there too.
hoohoohoblin thanks man found it 👊
@@la97chevy29 can you send me the link to the harness ?
💯
Perfect video for the guy who's factory radio just committed suicide. Where did you guys get that adapter for the power?
I bought it on eBay. Look up your year of truck. Crutchfield also has them.
Found the right wire harness at Autozone and popped in the new radio the same day. I'd definitely wouldn't have ever figured out how to get the dash off on my own. This video sped things up a lot. Thanks!
Transgender radio antenna
You litterly lost all credibility when you started playing "ghetto noise" out of the stereo!!
Didn't show anything about disconnecting the old radio. I give it a C-, for nothing but hear say.
My radio came with 1 harness do I need to buy the other harness because I'm not getting any sound I guess my 1996 suburban has a built in amp... Help me please
That’s a good question. I don’t know the answer. I’m not sure how you would get it wired to your speakers without the amp.
Could you link what radio and setup that is exactly? Looking to order that same on!e! Unless you bought in person
I bought the stereo from the cheapest seller on eBay, and I bought the speakers from Crutchfield. Here is a link to a review I did of the radio. Sony MEX Car Stereo Review ua-cam.com/video/oUncJy8Rbr8/v-deo.html
Where did you get this speaker from
Crutchfield.
