What are you looking for in a dash kit? Single din or Double din?

Does the screen have to drop down in order to get a DVD into the unit?

American International, GM-K422 (not real sure on the exact number) A Metra kit will not work for the moving screen. At least it won't work good.

yes, i agree with "i am an idiot" the metra kit wont really work.(04 silverado). i bought the kit and only used the side brackets. after failed attempt to steal my double din i made some metal brackets instead using some plastic pieces. Depending on brand of double din, you might have to cut/ chip some small plastic dash pieces behind the the dash. Im using a JVC AVX-810, and theres alot of wires+swi-jack+RCA'S+GM harness adapters behind there. Plus my double din is detachable face and i had a hard time finding a kit which would work with out interfering with its fold down operation. I really shoved my unit deep in dash to keep the flush look. theres just a small gap above climate controls.

Go BIG or go Home it might not be broke, but lets fix it anyway

The Metra kit works fine as long as the screen is not motorized. I hear that a lot of filing is necessary to mount a motorized deck.
