Head Unit install questions

[Happy Hummer]

* Crutch field shows modifications to internal dashboard for double din install... Is this true?
I already have different antenna adapters I've purchased back some time ago...
* Does a metra 70-2003, gm-2004 and or gm05b scosche fit?
I don't really need the chime and I don't use OnStar lol! The rap feature is nice but .....:shifty:
* Is Kenwood Excelon a decent product? I've got a lower level single din in XJ and it works decent...
If there is a better h\u in your opinion pls do offer suggestions... I'd really like a nice quality h\u... Usb, bt, Wi-Fi,cd,etc...?

I installed a Blaupunkt double din a couple years ago. I had the monsoon with the nav and satellite. It did not require any modifications.
The install kit is required for the amp if I recall. Mine sounds better than the factory, with factory amp and speakers. Louder, clearer. I paid about 180 on Crutchfield. Bought whatever they said I needed. It also allows to to turn the chimes down super low. .

There is a support bracket behind the factory radio that needs to be cut out.

Any pioneer avh4200 or above is a nice unit. They have AA and Apple Car Play. Install is easy. Just take your time and do plug and play harnesses.

Find the parts for install on crutchfield then get the parts on Amazon. It will save you a ton of money. I've installed 3 different head units in this truck and as with all gms, it's pretty easy

So, I've noticed some have to cut the mount in dash but some folks do not.... I'd like to upgrade but not cut the dash parts.

I've never had to cut anything, just used the Metra kit and slides right in.

 

[Happy Hummer]

Hmm. That's a double din right? Not single

Which Kenwood do have have?

I got my dash installation kit for my double din from crutchfield but can't remember if I had to cut anything. I'm running a Clarion Navi unit with a 4 channel amp. Factory amp melted down after the Clarion was pushing all that power to it. Anyone interested in the oem sub/amp package out of my truck? It's been just sitting in my house for about four years

I got a metra + double din Sony off crutchfield, good interface and retained chimes and all.
The Sony unit itself needs a quick trim that I haven't gotten around to do, should be easy with a file or a small electric saw. It doesn't allow the dash cover to fit flush (pictured here).

No trimming need to be done to the brackets if you follow the selection steps on their website, and select a product that doesn't require modding. They know what fits and what doesn't, I was quite impressed.

This particular Sony unit was very cheap, no Bluetooth or gps, which is exactly what I needed, but it also comes with a non customizable blue wallpaper, which sucks.

Here are some Hummer stereo wallpapers I made for mine, there are 3 variations of where the Hummer logo is, depending on the GUI of the unit you get.
You can download that here:

And here's a preview of it.

Awesome man, thanks! :thumbs:

Actually do really like the wall paper... Can you play movies on the screen or back up camera?

 

[humvee]

yes it supports videos and has a backup camera input.
But it doesn’t support custom wallpaper, so I was never able to use this skin.
I suggest get a model that does.
Japanese, Korean or American brands, stay away from Chinese head units, new ones look good but the audio internals are crap, and you’ll really notice the difference.

Good luck

Didn't cut anything with a metra single din kit, also don't see what there could be to cut because the factory radio is huge and putting in an aftermarket is no bigger
