headunit install help

[Ultra Z]

About 2 weeks ago I bought a new, used, 2003 Chevy Tahoe. It came with a stock cd player & cassette. I have been saving money for a while now to get a new headunit and am leaning towards getting a Pioneer - 50W x 4 MOSFET Apple® iPod®-/Satellite Radio-/HD Radio-Ready DVD Deck, Model: AVH-P1400DVD (Best Buy SKU: 4040138). My Tahoe is NOT equiped with onStar, bose, nav, rear dvd player, satellite radio, nor does it have the steering column controls. Its just a standard system. I have been looking on the Best Buy website as well as searching online for a few days and cannot seem to find out what wiring harness(s) I need. I know that if I had all the above listed features I may have needed multiple harnesses, but since I only need the radio/cd/dvd features, id only need the power/audio harness?? Which I cannot seem to stumble upon. Also, I am having the same issues finding what (if any) installation bracket I may need. Does anyone have any connections or know of any websites to help me get this stuff figured out? thanks to all in advance.

**UPDATE**

Here is the info, the installation bracket was metra 99-2003(at least thats the one that worked for me)- $20. The wiring harness/module was an Axxess GMRC-02 (module needed to retain the chimes)- $80. Also needed an aftermarket radio antenna adapter, just for a GM vehicle - $got mine free.

Took about 20 mins.

Also had to cut a little of the inside of the dash away, if not the back of the radio will hit the support inside where the stock radio was.

Hope this helps anyone in the future.

GMRC-01 would have worked as well. I know those go all day long on ebay for under $40 shipped. Also, the 70-2003 linked above would have worked as well if you ran a switched power wire.
