I have mine set-up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle's03SilveradoSS Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I need to get that interface so I can use my steering wheel controls, that or I'm thinking of having my factory headunit put back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Silv Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Before you buy the interface, just try using the remote that comes with the head unit for awhile. I thought I would never get use to not having my steering wheel controls but after awhile I started to like my remote better. And I believe the interface is 100$.

Easier than reaching over and snagging the remote which may have moved from a bumpy ride or something. Just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First off, talk to fast4popper for the interfaces... he will save you BIG $$$ secondly. If your looking to put something in the lower console where the lighter sockets are. I can speak from experience Joe 6.0ss makes awesome replacements. I'm not sure if a single din will fit in there or not. I thought about getting a pop out monitor as well but I decided on an alpine 6.5" headrest monitor and I LOVE IT. I'm so glad I went that route. If you already have the pop out I can understand why you'd not wanna spend the extra cash. But if nothing else, talk to fast4popper. I got all the aux inputs and apline bypass modules from him. For me, I use them to add dvd sound to the bose factory radio. The one I had had aux inputs so the 2nd input I hooked up my ipod! Definately worth the money. I hope this post helped.

6.0ss Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Thanks Chad.. I can for sure make a panel that will hold that pop out screen. But the best way to go is to replace your factory deck if you bought a TV/DVD flip out deck.. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I wasn't 100% happy with it I wouldn't put the word out like I do! For anyone who doesn't know- Joe does AWESOME work! I have pics if anyone is interested. It's too bad there was sooo much room in the 4500. We put a 7 inch widescreen up in the overhead console with a backup camera. It looks badass. Now I want one in the 2500 duramax!!! There just isnt any room without replacing the deck. I don't wanna spend 1500. This isn't the place to post this... but since were on the topic- if anyone has a cheap cheap dbl din monitor/dvd or even a flip out let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuelSlut Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 if you check out my garage photos and mods i have my flip out monitor in the lower slot and i love it... the pioneer interface i believe is less than $100.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitesurfer50 Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 thats sweet... did 6.0 make that for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fast4popper Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 60 bucks for the steering wheel interface from me, shipped. this is not installed though. another 20 to put it in, it can be a bear to program at times. if anyone wants one let me know in a PM.
