    They also don't have aux input on the front nor do they play mp3s. I was just hoping someone would have a picture of one of the kits installed

    on dodge stereos you can get a deal that plugs into the cd changer input on the back of the stereo that makes it into a head phone jack. This is how i have my ipod and xm hooked up. Maybe chevy has something similar?

    I'll try to find a picture of the radio I had in my old Ford. It mounted the radio in the upper portion of the opening and there was a little pocket on the bottom that you could stick stuff (pen, notepad, mail, etc.) in. It wasn't much, but it looked a lot better than having just plastic all around the faceplate.

    Did you get it from dodge or somewhere else? I need something like that that will plug into the back of my stock radio (AM/FM, no CD or cassete).

    Feller Crutchfield's has a pigtail like that for my truck. Fits in between the factory pigtail and the factory stereo. It's like $140 though.
    That adapter looks fine, if I can get it in matching tan. Another pocket would be nice.
    Fred I got a 98. It's black
    98 was definitely a year with intake issues, right? Gonna head to the dealer and pick up a gasket and a fuel pump for when that goes out (111k and never been replaced. I figure mine's got 14k tops left on it, probably less, since the fuel filter looked original)

    i got the part # off tdr and it cost me like $15. THe chevy's might have rca jacks on the back, but i doubt they would be that logical.

    I'll see if i can dig up the website.

    if you order a head unit from crutchfield they will give you an install kit, which includes a pigtail and the adapter plate for free, i know when i orderded my head unit from them, the adapter plate they sent me was made out of metal not plastic

    here is the website, i looked at my old email from them and it was $70 for it but it was well worth it.

    i think that went from cd changer input to rca jacks and i had to buy another adapter for $15 to go from rca to head phone. You can probably find that cheaper on cables-to-go or some place like that, but I needed it all asap then and i was nigga rich.

    My old truck had RCA jacks under the driver's seat. I always figured it was not stock but I kinda think my tahoe has them in the same place, I'll check.
    Tommy what kind of vehicle was that kit for?

    What if you just installed a regular faceplate and lined the inside of the gap with something to match the dash? Then you could have a little storage compartment under your radio.
    I may not be able to run with the big dogs, but I can limp with the pack.

    i have ordered head units from them, i think the only steel ones were for my ford and my brothers ford truck, but they have all have came with the adapter and harnesses, the other ones were for a 01 ford ranger and the other a 03 chevy s10

    the wire harness makes it nice b/c you dont have to cut and splice into the factory side
