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.

Ocsparky is right. Metra or Scosche will make a wiring harness that you definitely want to use in order to keep all your factory wiring intact. The wiring harness actually gets wired to the harness that comes with the JVC headunit and generally, the wires you splice together between the two harnesses will have matching colors and, most likely, text showing the function of each wire. You would want "Metra TurboWires 71-2003-1 Wiring Harness" for your truck.

Yes, The radio will come with a wire harness that will plug into the radio on one end and on the other end it will be the bare wires that you will have to solder to a coupler that fits your model vehicle.

Hello. You will need to purchase an aftermarket, vehicle specific harness for your vehicle. This harness will need to be wired to the stereo harness to adapt the wiring.

It came with the harness for my aftermarket radio for my 06 Silverado. You may still need the antenna adapter if your vehicle needs one. And as another person mentioned its very loud. I'd recommend trying it before putting the dash completely together.

Hello. This radio will fit your vehicle. You will need a dash kit, a wire harness, and an antenna adapter to complete the installation.

This should work fine on your Chevy. You need access to the antenna cable where it attaches to the radio. You need a 12 V power supply. You need to mount a switch somewhere and possibly drill a hole for that switch. Not really a job for a total novice but if you have some mechanical inclination I would think you could complete this easily.

You need to order a 'wire harness' for your specific car. That has the adapter

You need a wiring harness, mounting bracket and most likely an antenna harness too

This is to replace the factory harness. You will still need an adapter to install an aftermarket stereo.

It all depends on your vehicle. I had a 2006 Chevy so I needed a install kit to fill in the extra dash space, a wire kit to hook up to the OnStar system and another box to make the signal noise.

As far as I know you must purchase a wiring harness specific to your vehicle. I got mine at walmart. Round $15. One side wires to stereo and other plugs to your factory harness to keep you from having to cut wires. It's pretty simple. You will have to do this with any stereo you buy. This is a good one I think for the money. Not many for the price have bluetooth capability and hd radio. That is why I bought one.

Are you replacing a factory radio or do you already have an aftermarket stereo? If factory, you will need kit to install in dash. You will also need a factory harness adapter so you do not cut into the factory stereo harness

Hello Richard. The 2008 Chevy Trailblazer will have to be hardwired in order for a brake controller to work. There is no aftermarket plug that will plug into your application. Hope this helps. Bert CampRigid Hitch Amazon Sales

I returned my radio because it didn't work. Anyway, Connect your wires to the terminal block under your dash, (Consol). You should have one. Good luck.

I have a 2003 Trailblazer and it worked perfectly. I would order another without hesitation. I don't know the Chevy part number.

I know this is a little late, but I found this for a 2008 Trailblazer. I plan on doing mine next week: http://forums.trailvoy.com/showthread.php?t=95904
