First time radio install help Chevy Truck

Post by mx350 »

Hi, I'm planning on installing FT-8900R with CR8900A Antenna in my 2004
Chevrolet Silverado Crew cab Z71 Truck I looking at the least amount of drilling
possible. I was thinking of mounting the radio behind the rear driver side seat
that also folds down. I was going to install it under the passers side seat but
it looks like I have a heater vent there, my Truck also don't have a center
console does anyone know about mounts that would fit under center dashboard and
now the wiring I do have the GM Mobile Radio Installation Guidelines I was
going to order the Side terminal adapter package 1846855 and hook the positive
lead auxiliary power terminal and the negative lead to the battery terminal. For
the CR8900A antennal I was planning on left driver's side hood fender I not sure
if Diamond makes one I know ProFit makes one the AVANTPF any help tips would be
greatly appreciated

Thanks :-?
