A buddy of mine just got a new 2010 Silverado. He took the old head-unit out of his other truck to put in this truck. The HU is a pioneer in-dash double din, not sure which model but it's fairly new.

His harness for the old truck (an older silverado 00-05) is not the same for this new truck. We've looked everywhere for a compatible harness but cannot find one. The stereo also doesn't fit where stock double din was, so I guess we will need a dash kit too.

Any help would be VERY appreciated. These new vehicles piss me off..

Here is the stock stereo

Is he using the factory speakers? If not I would just find a dealers wiring diagram, Find the Negative, Positive, Ignition and use wire taps to tap it all. Then i would run an External amplifier for the speakers. If you can't find a wiring diagram you could always test it for the constant +12v and -12V, then turn the key on and see which one jumps from 12v to 0v.

He's lucky, they don't even make a dash kit for my car yet, let alone wiring harnesses.

yeah he's gonna use factory door speakers but we have the wires ran for an amplifier/sub setup

they haven't made harnesses for his truck yet?? what a pain in the ass

oh, and i've talked him into buying a 12" BTL for his truck instead of an L7

For my car, 2011 mustang there is no dash kit/ wiring kit.

Some options:

1.I say convince him to buy a refurbed sax-100.2 or sax-125.2 and run a comp set, Ditch the rear speakers, get some Bravox speakers and you're set.

2.You can run ALL new speaker wire, then wire it to the HU.
