Review on Scosche GM1483B ISO / DIN Dash Kit Black - Compatible with 1995-2002 GM Full Size Truck by Profit Gilley

I've installed about 50 car stereos over the years, but I don't do it every day. But wow, that was easy to install on a borrowed '99 Chevy truck. I borrowed a truck from a friend to go buy furniture in a few states (my truck can generate tons of electricity, but it has tremendous mileage). However, the 99 I borrowed only had a cassette player, and the headphone jack on my phone didn't work well, so there was no cassette adapter. I had a spare Kenwood KDC-X995 head unit lying around so I fitted it to this adapter. I also pre-connected the Metra 70-1858 wiring harness to the head unit and took the Metra 40-GM10 GM antenna adapter. With the head unit installed and pre-wired in the adapter, it took about 15 minutes to remove the panel from the front of the dash, pull out the old head unit, plug in the new one and put everything back together. It would have been quicker but I got the 4WD connector in the wrong place when I first snapped the dash together. But actually - no tools were required for the installation. The wire adapter only took a few minutes with some butt connectors to match the colors between the wire harness adapter and the head unit wire harness and that was it; This type of head unit simply snaps into place with a lever that can be depressed with your thumb. It's very easy. It was so easy it cost $20 which I spent on three adapters to use the aftermarket head unit on the go (Bluetooth connection to my phone allowing GPS and music to be used wirelessly is sooooo nice ). When I got back I just pulled everything back out and put the stock head unit back in before returning the truck to the original owner. The cut out for the radio to put it back in was pretty close to the Kenwood; This thing comes with a spacer so you can fit a deeper radio or a radio with a larger faceplate and it will stick out about another half inch or so. I like the sunken look better though.
