Sold my 2004 escalade and got myself a brand new 2013 hemi crew express. The drive home was over 100 miles but I got about 18mpg so that's an upgrade to the 12.5 I was getting in the Cadillac. The entire ride home all I could think about is when I would be able to swap this deck out. I've searched near and far ebay to amazon with no luck in finding a radio harness and dash install kit. Read other post the diy version but I can't bring myself to chop a new truck up. So. If anyone knows the alley where to find a harness I will be forever grateful.

I haven't researched this, but from everything I've read on here they don't make one. You have to make your own. But I may be misreading, so don't quote me on this.

Alright, so right after finding your post there was another thread about a Pioneer install. It looks like there are some dash kits and harnesses out there, but EXTREMELY hard to come by. Maybe search for a few other threads about radio installs and see if you get a hit.

Is that the Metra? I can't look at it at work, but Metra has a kit too. Very clean looking, but the metal inside has to come out. Doesn't really look that hard honestly. If I had the money right now I'd install a new head unit in my express. I'm not really happy with running a LOC to my amp.

I believe currently Metra is the only manufacture who has addressed this need.
If you have the EVIC, you will loose some functionality as well, so be aware of that.

Yep, you'll lose the radio station display, but I usually have mine of either the fuel economy screen or the digital speedo and the station doesn't display on that screen anyway.

White Express is the man to talk with though, he knows his stuff.
