Aftermarket Radio Installation - 2015 Tahoe LS with IO3

[JohnC12]

Hi vballrican,

I just sent you an email.

If I could do it all over again, and had a radio to support engine performance data, I go with the Maestro RR.

All the best to you!

John, thanks!! I received it! I'm looking at the Maestro RR with a Pioneer Avic radio...

UPDATE: Bought an AVIC-5201 NEX with the GM3, the Maestro RR, backup camera adapter... Everything is here except the Maestro. Will also look into speaker upgrades as well before I tackle this project. got a quote for $300 to install it... might consider it since i haven't done audio stuff in over 15yrs.

John, do i need an antenna adapter from a 2015 Tahoe LTZ to aftermarket Pioneer? I can't seem to find the correct one. Amazon says "will not fit your vehicle" when i select one i googled. Thanks.

PS: the Maestro is here... working on the wiring harnesses this week. Hopefully i can install over the weekend.

I completed the Scosche GM5214SB dash kit install yesterday evening. I am much happier with this look over the Metra dash kit with the blank pocket.

The Scosche kit is very nice! It's made of heavier duty plastic than the Metra - and the clips that hold the top dash trim are metal rather than plastic like on the Metra. When removing the top dash trim last night to upgrade to the Scosche, I broke all three of the plastic clips from the Metra kit - very low quality!

Hi Mikemcc! I no longer host the site where I posted the pictures and one can't edit old posts to update. However, just click the link to the PDF and you can see all of the pictures.

What I did was found the wires for the camera and spliced them into that and it worked perfectly. Ill try to take a picture and post it up.

Has anyone figured out how to remove the radio on models without a center counsel? Having a hard time removing the lower trim piece right below the AC controls.
