    Very Easy to install man... just like installing a Single Din unit.. depending on the unit, you might have to cut some of the plastic back in the rear or take a hammer and block and bend it back some..

    Take the dash apart... use a utility knife.... depends on the depth of the DD... or you can get the casing that extends out 1" from the dash instead....

    Check the Crutchfield web site for compatibility. Some Pioneer decks are too deep to fit a GM dash without major hacking. My JVC barely fit in my Buick, I had to take a Dremmel tool to the plastic back piece and chop a bit of it out.
