i have a giftcard for crutch field and wanted to get installation kit, and they said that double din does not fit in my van
its an 05 express 1500

theres all sorts of adapters looks like at walmart or something...

anyone know the part numbers to all the parts needed to install a double din?

seems to be all sort of confusion about what harness would work and all...
thanks in advance

 

Metra 95-2001 Dash Kit Fits 1994-2012 General Motors and Isuzu vehicles ? double-DIN radios at Crutchfield.com

According to their website this will fit my 2002 express. I think they have the same dash don't they? I think 2008 was the year of the new interior.
Anyway, I have a JVC double din in mine....and I cannot remember any major issues mounting it.

got it all figured out, actually got all of the pieces from walmart (including that beeping module thats included with the harness), antenna adapter, as well as the double din trim and mounting bracket.
was a pretty simple install.
i also took the face from my stock radio to put over the aftermarket to keep looking stock and not invite anyone to steal it
take a look, i also included a video of the setup



this is the parts used

Nice. But wow, having to pull so much dash. On my 02 it was was easier....lol

Thanks for the parts pics too.

 

it looks worse than it is. there are 2 lower panels held by 2 screws, and then the whole dash just unclips off and pulls out as one pice. thats all. piece of cake. cheap molded plastic haha.
took no more than 3-4 minutes.
oh and like 3-4 connectors in the back for cig lighter and trailer switch and headlight switch, thats all

i was replacing the bulb in the climate buttons the other day so i did this twice in 2 weeks lol (great planning lol)
