Replace CD Changer with Storage Pocket

[subieworx]

I have an 03 Denali and just installed an aftermarket head unit and have no need for the factory CD changer in the console. Is there a pocket that is available I can replace that with? Having a tough time finding one.

Looking to do the same but with my antique cassette player.... Lol

I have found a bunch of pockets for that location, but they all stop in 02 and are not compatible with the 03-06. Is that true?

 

[SlowD]

Yes thats true!
I was excited one night on Ebay and ordered one of those pockets without fully reading the ad and now I have a useless part that sits in the basement lol.
I am making a custom plate to cover the hole and house my Edge CTS programmer and navigation. Should work out perfect with the space we have there.

The ones that supposedly fit the '02's don't fit either. I used the bracket off my CD changer and mounted it to a single-DIN size pocket from EBay. Now it just slides in using the original mount.

Hey Rocket... What's that above the pocket, next to the cigarette lighter?

That's the "Secondary Information Center". It might just be on the Denali's, I'm not sure. It displays a bunch of info regarding fuel, trip, timers, vehicle history, etc. as well as settings for things like auto door locks, headlamp delay, perimeter lamp settings, remote locks, etc.

That secondary display was not on either of my denali's

Yeah I have an 05 Denali and it doesn't have that. Mine is controlled through the steering wheel and appears under the PRND321 on the dash. I like the separate screen. I have a cubby there.

01 and 02 denalis and escalades had the secondary info center. Basically the same features as the info center on the cluster of the 03-06
