Welcome to the forum! I agree with Northey.

 

it will plug in but you will have to program it using the tech2 and SPS programming

 

If it has been previously installed in another vehicle then a dealer will need to program it for you as mentioned above but if it is a brand new unit it will be plug and play.

Side note: If your new radio has the "CAT" button on the right side then it is also steering wheel radio control ready, you can buy a steering wheel off Ebay reasonably and it only takes about 5 minutes to swap the wheel the wheel out, the trucks are pre-wired for this feature.

 

ok how much you think im gonna spend on the programming? and do i need to put it in 1st then take truck 2 dealer or just take new cd player?

 

put it in first, that way you don't have to pay for re&re.

They shouldn't be charging you much more thn a half hour labour

 

WOOOHOOO!!!! i got it in and programmed Thanks everyone
