Do you have Bose and/or Onstar? Metra and PAC sells a harness for either option. you will also need a dash kit which BB should stock. If you have audio controls they you will need a Metra or a PAC SWIC harness. I got metra harness/SWIC/Dashkit for my double din setup. If you have a Bose or a Monsoon sterio then you have a factory Amp and the harness will work for either otherwise just get the standard lock-n-dock harness. there is a thread on here that has a parts list with numbers and what not... make sure you read all the way threw, cause i didnt have to do everything they said (like wire directly to the factory amp) when i did mine.

Start here.
