Is there any other wiring, plugs, etc... I need when they install this stereo? It's going on to a 2004 Chevy Alvalache?

If you want sirius you will need the antenna assembly, costs like 50 or 60 I think. It comes with the ipod cord. The harness covers all the basics and including the gps antenna. Back up camera is sold separately also.

A good source of information for you in terms of what you'll need would be Crutchfield. If you go to their site, enter in your vehicle information then shop for this radio, you'll see other items needed to complete your installation. If you want to use your steering wheel controls you'll need some adapters, as well as if you have Onstar and want to continue to use it, since it interfaces with your factory head unit there's an adaptor for that as well. But if you don't plan to use any of the things that I just mentioned then you will just need an install kit for your truck. That usually consists of a mounting box that the Alpine with mount into, then the box simply mounts into the dash the same way your factory unit did. You'll need power and ground, there's a plug you can buy that plugs into your factory harness like the stock head unit would and it has the wires that you'll need to hook the Apline up to. The other alternative is to cut the factory plug or splice into it, much cleaner installation if you just buy the plug plus if you sell the car and keep the factory equipment you can easily reinstall it for the sale. If you're not installing an after market amp you can use the power from the Alpine head unit to power the factory speakers. They make adapter plugs for that as well so that you're not cutting and splicing, again, much more clean and simplistic. You don't have to purchase the plugs and kits from Crutchfield but you can get the info from there then shop Amazon. Sometimes Amazon is cheaper but sometimes Crutchfield is the same price or cheaper, just depends. Also Crutchfield has great tech support and customer service, they'll treat you well. Hope that answers your questions.

It has a plug to go into the Sony radio. it has wires that go out of that plug to whatever you want. I recommend to get the plug for your car, with the same "whatever you want" wires coming out of it, and connect the two sets of wires to give you a harness with a Sony radio connector plug on one end, and a Chevy (or whatever) connector plug on the other end. Did 4 of these CDXGT56UI in the last 2 months, and would not do it any other way... Walt.

U will need a wire harness for that vehicle and a dash kit. Walmart or any audio store will have both

Honestly, I don't remember. I no longer own the car with that stereo in it. I'm sure it's in the instruction manual, though.

I thought I might have that problem too because I replaced a really old Alpine. Mine went plug to plug no problem. Our local Ziebart store does stereo stuff if I need that...you might try Best Buy or Radio Shack to get something to come together.

Before you install see first that your Silverado has the ability to fit a double-DIN unit. As of the steering wheel controls, it should if wired correctly. Just connect the same colour wires together. On the head unit the wires will be labeled. But don't expect the head unit to be the only thing you'll need for installation. You'll need a wiring harness that retains your door chime and onstar, a dash kit for your make model and year, and because chevy uses a smaller antenna cable you need an adapter from the smaller sized antenna to the normal sized antenna. A google search for all of these items will return results. And the cheapest place to find all of them is on Amazon, hope this helps.

First off, did the stereo you removed from the dash still work (sound, power, etc)? If so the first and most likely suspect is incorrect wiring -- verify that *all* connections are correct. If it's still not working, verify the inline fuse hasn't blown and then check the vehicle fusebox (both under-dash and under-hood). If all three of these conditions check OK then the stereo is DOA from the factory; otherwise you've already found the problem.

Hi Gerrid, call your car manufacturer for this question. You can use this link http://docs.sony.com/release/WXGT90BT_install_EN_FR.pdf It's the installation/connection guide for the car stereo.-Vincent

Its a multi wire plug. You need to buy the aftermarket wiring harness go to your local audio store and ask them for it. It should not cost more than $20.

Yes, but will need a wiring harness and possibly a bracket adapter to install the aftermarket system. Most stereo shops can wire in an auxiliary cord to the factory deck.

Yes, We had to purchase this sepeartly to hook our sirius up. We have a Chevy Avalance and purchased the AVH-X8500. NOTE: Sirius charged us $35 to switch to the new radio.

you would need a stereo mount kit due to smaller size of new radio,I would also get the wiring harness kit for electrical hookup!

You will need to purchase a faceplate kit so that it fits correctly, and a wiring connector plug that is made for your Chevy. Make sure your speakers are in good shape, you will enjoy the sound, a lot of radio for the money.

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.

You will have to pull the head unit out and connect this into the wiring harness between the radio and where the harness plugs into your vehicles factory wiring. It's not difficult, but you may need to solder or re-crimp the connections depending on how your wiring harness adapter is installed. I would think that Best Buy or a local car stereo shop would do the install for a few $ if you don't want to mess with it.

No re wiring was nessisary . I install this on an 04 taho car toys tried to tell me they needed to re wire because of the amp but not true you can purchase a inline amp that by passes the stock unit it's close to a 100 bucks and it works great
