This is a nice upgrade for base model 7" IOB radio system

Anyone that has swapped car audio before can handle this easily. Swapping the touchscreen display and dash kit is just taking it apart and putting back together. The extension cable can be fed thru the dash down to the passenger floor board. Tuck away the unused stock harness. As for the radio module, it is accessible from under the glove compartment. (4) 7mm screws unmount module pan from the bottom and pull the panel off the side of the dash to access the radio module bracket. All of it will drop down to the floor board and be easy to work with. Only wiring connections to be made are from the PAC module to the pioneer radio harness. Also wire in a parking brake micro pulse bypass to the radio. The PAC harness plugs into the stock radio harness and that's it. Plug in other items (USB, XM, Aux) connections. Follow PAC and Pioneer install directions for wiring. The Pioneer radio receiver fits where the stock radio is pulled from the bracket and can be reinstalled back in the same place. There's a lot of wiring that needs to be zip tied and plenty of space for the harnesses to tuck up in the dash. Screw the bottom pan piece back and reattach the side dash panel and you're good to go. Side note.. the parking brake bypass allows video and certain features to be used while driving. Back up camera is also visible while driving.

Specs:
Pioneer DMH-c5500nex
Metra 108-GM3B dash kit

Other options:
Pioneer DMH-c2000nex / c2500nex
Metra 107-GM3B

Pioneer CD-RGB150E extension cable
PAC RP5-GM51 compatibility module
PAC RP5-GM52 harness for '16+ vehicles

SXV300 for xm connection to receiver.

Axxess AXUSB-GM6 for usb and aux to the console. (There may be usb and aux adapters, but I didn't try them)
