Coopies is at least an 03 or newer model that has the corporate dd hu. You can tell by the hvac controls in his pic.

So for those who don't know, the 03+ models already utilize a dd unit, so all you need is the avg $20 dash kit. But unfortunately, to integrate with the databus controlled hu, you're also going to need the more expensive wire harness/module.

So did you utalize dash kits from pre 03 and 03+ to get the flush finnish? I'm thinking of tackling the same job myself, I usually wouldnt even think of cutting or trimming the dash but you made it look pretty easy. I just want to make sure I can get the nice finnish look.

I used the brackets from the older pre-03 kit and cut the rest of the trim pieces myself.

JK, why are you using a D3?

I have one, and have learned it's quirks, but it's not really great at anything, but it is "good" at a few things

since they are aging, and becoming cheaper used, i was gonna get another just to prevent having to learn the quirks of another Navi system.

do you think I can use your method to put a DD in here:
it's a 2000 tahoe OBS
