I've been looking at changing my dash in my 01 to new style. I want the double den radio and new heater controls. Has anyone done this upgrade?

Won't work

2003 GMT800 mid cycle enhancement incorporated significant changes to the dash area electrical architecture.

Can you give me alittle more on that. I was thinking of changing the whole dash wiring an all. Still wont work? Thanks!

Serial data bus communication was the big change. Onstar, radio, cluster, power mirrors, PCM, etc etc

I suspect a major undertaking of Biblical proportion :)

You would basically have to swap out the whole electrical system in the entire truck.

You can do the double din but will have to use the old HVAC controls...I have a double din in my 02
