GMT-800 Audio Compatibility

Can a head unit from an '01 be put into an '02 without any programming? I recall them being VIN specific, but I thought that was '03 and newer.

Does anybody know?

 

[ScottyBoy]

Yes, no programming or any of that bullshit is needed on any radio prior to 2003, unless it has Theftlock enabled. 95-02 radios are all interchangeable actually. They have the same harness and mounts.

Cool! Thanks Scott!

So did you put the radio from the wife's Tahoe in there?

 

[PenguinLTZ]

He was going to, but now he may have a cheap aftermarket solution so that he can use his iPod and SW amp. Once he buys the PAC adapters for this stuff, to use that OEM HU, he may as well just throw a decent aftermarket one in there.

I have a couple Panasonics at work for cheap.

I still have the PAC aux input adapter I bought for mine, if you are interested.

I have the AAI-GM9. http://www.pac-audio.com/productDetails.aspx?ProductId=99&CategoryID=24

The notes say it can only be used with a slave unit ??

Yeah. I had to have my slave cassette deck playing to use the aux input.

Gotcha.
