Hi Frisco, I have an ’01 GMC Sierra, the previous owner has tried to
hardwire a pioneer in. Long story short I have no dash lights and I’v come
to the conclusion it’s because he mickey moused the radio wiring. My panel
feed (purple/white) and dimmer wire (grey) aren’t hooked up to anything on
the back of the radio. But the thing is the radio only has 4 extra wires
after hooking the speaker wires up, ground, constant 12v, ign acc and amp
feed.

I have a 2003 Silverado base extended cab and I wanted to know if the
pioneer DEHX6600BT will fit my dash without doing any cutting

@Lasurge1982 No it does not. There is a whole separate set of issues with
the bose system. The truck I have now has the bose system, and it is
proving a lot more expensive to change.

only thing I dont have is that black gm piece but do I need that piece for

@screw602 That is going to be a connection problem, or just a bad radio out
of the box. Was the deck you installed new? Try putting the old deck back
in and see if it works.

@italianmoses If you have a local stereo shop, that is the place to start.
If I remember correctly, it is a metra part. Just google metra.

orange wire but not another orange wire to connect it to so i was wondering
what to do with it. thank you.

It saves you from having to shop up the dash wiring. There is some stuff in
that wiring on some of these cars that if wires wrong, can cause airbag
issues, and other problems. Back in the day, we would cut the wires and
splice it in. These days it is required at a stereo shop if you want them
to install it.
