Will the 03 and up radio fit in the 01 silverados. I got one for free so can i just plug it in or will it need some custom wiring. Thanks. Also are there any benefits such as more watts RMS or anything else other than the RDS. I really hope this will work because im planning on using the old tape deck for a custom ipod hook up.

 

yea up to 2002...2003 they changed

 

anyway to make it work?

 

I really don't think anyone has had a reason to pursue it. The 03 radios have some of the vehicle control systems in there. Don't know what, but I understand that if you take one out without using a converter box, your truck will do strange things.

 

I'd like to know more about this if anyone knows. I was thinking of getting a newer stock one too, mostly cause i don't like my stock radio, or using the kit with the Kenwood that's in it now. My truck is an '00 GMC Sierra. I do kinda like the newer style radios though. What do these converter boxes look like? ...and where would i find one?
