03-05 Double DIN dash bzl and a/c cntrls on '02

Got myself an earlier x-mas present of a Pioneer AVIC F700BT Nav/Radio.
It's a double DIN of course.

My '02 dash bezel is only like 1.75 DIN, but after doing some searching
it looks like the '03-'07 bezels are double DIN.

Is this right ?

Another thing I noticed was the '03 bezel hits the '02 a/c controls
in lower corners. Check out install pics I found of someone else Silverado install.

Can you install the '03-'05 a/c controller in my '02.
They look and work quite a bit differently if I remember right, with dual
zones and such.

I think the pictured install above also said he could not use his ash tray anymore.


Help me out guys. I want this bad boy to look clean and "factory" as possible.
No hacking or trimming of the dash bezel.

I plan on doing the same thing sometime this coming summer hopefully. I found this on gmfullsize.

dont forget the bezel hangs down lower. this means you wont be able to use your ashtray or power outlets. now if you did the 03+ console then you wouldnt have an issue. this is why i need the 03+ bezel to fit better with the 03console.

you can mod the bracket the ac knobs mount to to align better. you wont be able to swap controls unless your doing some serious wire work.

I got some info on this a while back, our dash bezels are about 1.5" but the 03 dash bezels will work. I was told you would have to switch out the AC controls, there will be some cutting required if you don't.

After reading that guys thread and making some careful measurements
I think I'm going to try and hack my dash trim up and re-glue it all back
together like he did.

Only thing I dont know, is where to get that trim color in a paint ?
It's like some grayish/blue/black satin color.

Does GM keep a record of the plastic trim color ?

Found another one.

I'm definitely going to hack up my '02 bezel and
modify it. Looks pretty easy

I'm really wanting one of these again.

looks good. where did you get that dash kit? i just bought a Pioneer D2 and need to get everything to install it by the time i get back to the UK next week.
