will this work for a 1995 chevy k2500 pickup? and would I need a harness to go from the fuse panel to the unit? Thanks

I think it will. I used the pig tail that came with my Ford truck. I cut the plug off the Curt brake and attached it to the factory pig tail. The Curt brake worked perfect.

It will work. I have the same unit now in my 201 Silverado, but it was originally in a 2000 Silverado. You will need the universal harness.

It will work for any truck. You will need to order the harness separate to wire into power and the brake lights.

Rose, your best bet is to call Metra and ask them(or whoever makes the harness). Wiring harnesses can be very specific to each vehicle. I called them just to make sure and both installs went flawlessly because I had all the right parts. Hope this helps.

There is a lot of original wiring harness that has to spliced into and bypasses done to make this unit work. It took about 3.5 hrs to install it.

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.

Hi Dennis, I had it professionally installed. As far as I know, no additional wiring harness was required.

yes you use a regular harness. you match the wiring on the deck with the existing wiring in your vehicle. the 2V outputs are additional RCA outputs for add on amplifier set ups

I built a harness with a relay and hooked it into a remote fuse block I installed, but with the small amount of amps these led's draw, you don't really need the relay, but I would fuse the circuit!Hope this helps you

I didn't buy the wiring harness because I do all my own wiring. Depending on the stock wiring, you may have to upgrade wire size to at least 14 gauge.

for a clean installation, buy the harness. but your question is vague. what are you exactly doing? what are you tapping into? head unit into different vehicle? make sure the connections are the right ones, female/male etc.

Its very simple plug in and go on my truck. Nothing to splice. My factory harness just plugged into this one. I already had the fuses I needed but am keeping the extra ones for extra..

Yes it is very easy to install, but you will need the year, make and model wiring harness as well.

I would ask whoever installed it. I asked my son who installed it for my daughter. He said ask him if he has a wiring harness. The person who installed yours should know what that is.

on my truck I needed a connector to the wire harness that was different then the one that came with the unit. It will also depend on the set up you have for a trailer harness. but this is real easy fix.

Terry,You will need an installation wiring harness kit, which is a pig tail connector which plugs into the factory wiring but the other end will have to be soldered and heatshrinked to the Kenwood wiring pig tail connector. Also an radio installation DASH kit which adapts the Kenwood to fit you Silverado. METRA is the brand name I used to install the same Stereo in out 2003 F250. Make sure you have an afternoon for installation, take your time, measure and trim slowly if needed. A Dremel Tool works nice for such modifications. All in all install was not too bad, just go slow! Use attention to detail! You'll be happy!

Wiring harnesses are vehicle specific, not head unit specific, so it should work just fine.

Well, I was able to get the wiring harness out without taking the unit out. Obviously, I did have to take the center dashboard panel out so I could reach behind the unit. Once you have the wiring harness out you can connect the bypass to the right wires as explained in the manual. After that I was able to plug the harness back in the same way I got it out. I installed it in a GMC Envoy, I'm sure not every make and model have the same accessibility to reach behind the unit.

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.
