Looking To Upgrade Radio

[mark224]

Hello, I am looking to upgrade the am/fm radio in my 2007 nnbs 1500 w/t. I am looking to upgrade to either one with a cd player or one with cd play and mp3 port. I was wondering if the radio out of the 99 to 06 would work in the truck. I have looked at aftermarket radios and don't like the look of em. Thank you.

No,The GMT800 trucks used totally different radios than the GMT900 trucks do.

As a matter of fact even the GMT800 trucks used two different radios that are non-interchangeable ('99-'02 used one style,'03-'07 used another)

I knew the radios were different, but didnt know if they could be swapped. Sorry for putting this in the wrong spot, after posting it, thought maybe it should of gone in the audio section. Thank you.

[MS3DALE]

Yeah,the GMT900's use a different electrical system than the GMT800's do,and like before even the GMT800 's used two different electrical systems over the years.

Since I am going from the plain am/fm radio to a cd or the us8, is there anything that I will have to do, besides get the vin for a dealer unlock the radio? Thank you.

I believe the VIN should be good enough,I know that our guys have had issues reprogramming used radios in the past though,so don't be surprised if they run into a problem programming it.

Thanks you. What kind of problems did they have, just so I know what i may possibly be in for.

this may sound odd, but the replacement radio, does it have to be from a silverado/sierra? Or would any 07 up us8 radio work?

Like this one? radio Thank you.

Sometimes they just couldn't get the radios to program.

Not sure on that one,some radios of the same model type/design,even though they have different part numbers,are interchangeable.

The only thing I can tell you is to try it and see,other than that I have no part number cross-over listing. Sorry.

[mark224]

Ok, thank you.

The mount on the back of the radio is different on the Silverado than the one in that link. I have this one on ebay now. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Factory-CD-...=item2eb7cf3b5e
