I'm looking to install this radio in a 2003 GMC pick up. Will I need wiring harness for this? Does Pioneer have one?

Yeah you will. You can get one from companies like Metra and Scosche. If you're unsure about doing it I'd recommend talking to a local car audio shop (NOT Best Buy)

Yes, you MAY need this ones:Metra 70-2003 Radio Wiring Harness For GM 98-08 HarnessAnd this one for the radio antenna:Metra 40-GM10 GM Antenna AdapterYou still have to make sure if those are the ones you need since you did not mention which pick up model you have. I am guessing a 2003 Sierra 1500. Look it up at metraonline.com since they have compatibility stuff. Or you can look up a video about replacing the head unit on your truck and they will definitely mention what you will need. Good luck!

you will need to get the OEM plug from best buy or some other store like amazon and wire your connections to that plug. I soldered the connections and put heat shrink tubing over them . There were about 15-20 wires.

I just installed this on an 02 gmc 2500hd I hard wired in wasn't bad. Just make sure you get the park brake override to watch videos. And know that you need to cut quite a bit of the dash for the radio to fit or you can order a differ t dash bezel

It comes with the jumper that goes from the stereo to the harness, but unless you want to do some electrical (soldering and so forth), or if you have already had a pioneer radio installed, you may want to consult a stereo shop.

I had one in my 97 Altima that pretty easily replaced the stock radio with help from a wiring harness adapter. It's a standard single DIN size, but some newer cars use 1.5 DIN or double DIN radios. (same width but 'taller' from top to bottom) On the other hand, even for a 1.5 or double DIN dash space you can either buy a larger Pioneer radio or get a mounting adapter. These are great radios especially if you have good HD radio stations nearby. Some other Pioneer rmodels have Bluetooth or Pandora streaming radio capabilities though, if you want easier and wireless connection to your Android or Iphone I enjoy Pandora now but just connect it through the headphone jack and radio faceplate input.

The XM radio and steering wheel connection will most likely be Chevy specific. To squash any questions I emailed the customer service section at Enfig Car Stereo, (a reputable wiring harness and in dash install kit manufacturer), and requested a list of all necessary parts for a plug and play install. No wire cutting, just adding adapters. I'm sure there are other vendors that may be available through Amazon. I found Enfig while searching YouTube for DIY videos specific to my vehicle, (2013 Passat S).

You will need to search for install kits per the vehicle you are installing in. I would go to a local stereo shop and ask what kit you will need to install the radio .

It comes with the wiring harness that plugs into the radio.Its all color coded and the install book explains what everything goes to. You will need the harness that plugs into the vehicle side that splices into the radios harness however.

You don't need a wiring harness if you are not hauling a trailer that needs to be street legal. I use mine for a bike rack for example. The hitch can be attached without it.

I have a chevy equinox and it fit in after harness was around the radio. I bought a boss. Waste of a radio. Radio no good had to buy a pioneer.

YES...You need to buy a wire harness adapter specific to your car. Great radio...you won't be disappointed!

This unit comes with a stereo specific wire harness. You will still need a vehicle specific wire harness to complete the installation.

As I have indicated in the past... You will need a wiring harness and a bezel at a minimum. There used to be a feature from Amazon on the actual product page that allows you to enter your vehicle information whic can verify whether it will work in your vehicle. If you do not know how to install a new harness, bezel, and radio then there is a small learning curve if you are doing this yourself. Make sure you have your particular vehicles wiring chart (it has color codes and diagram) as they are not as standard as one would think. Especially the older the vehicle. You may need some butt connectors in case splicing is required. You mentioned nothing about speakers... You can run up to four with this radio if I remember correctly.

no, it will only work with a pioneer head unit made before 2003. it will have a blue toslink connection on the back of the unit.the model number of the head unit should also have a "P" prefix

No. Easy to install. If you can solder and/or use butt connectors you will be fine. Try to get a printout of your vehicles radio witing harness pinout.

Can't tell you - I've already installed it and tossed the packaging. Pioneer should be able to answer this.

Yes, you will need an installation kit that will size down the hole from a double din to a single din but those are cheap and available even at walmart I think. To make things easier go ahead and pick up a wiring harness as well so you don't have to cut your stock plug off. Last bit of advice, if I'm not mistaken I've had to have an antenna adapter for all gm vehicles I've owned (I have an '01 Sierra currently) and gm uses a non standard fm antenna plug.

Yep, no wiring harness. Buy some wire at the auto parts store. I soldered connectors on mine but you can crimp. I ran it back to the fuse panel to a piggy back fuse, also available at the auto parts store.

I ordered a metra wiring harness specific for my scion xb which made the wiring super easy for the most part it was all about matching the same colors wire to wire from the radio harness to the factory harness about 10 minutes with butt splice terminals I am not super worried about them coming apart to go to great leight to soldier the wires together. Oh yeah I noticed that my factory radio and the Pioneer that I had in before this jvc had awesome reception the jvc not so much so when u wire it up check to see how the radio reception is. We had to send ours back something was wrong with the internal antennae.
