Well in a few days im gonna be putting ina radio, dvd and screens in a 2003 tahoe, my only question is how hard is the radio installation and because it has the bose system am i gonna run into any problems or do i just hook the radio's remote wire to the factory amp assuming it has one? Is there anything special i need to buy or get down to put the cd player in this car, any help would be great because i wanna know what im getting into and what i need before i do this

Gonna need some wire strippers/cutters, electrical tape, connectors/or soldering gun. And whatever screwdrivers/sockets you will need to remove the dash piece around the headunit.

Yes you will need a blose adapter for it. Peripheral makes a good one. I'm not at the shop right now so I don't have the model number. This will allow all you to use the factory speakers and amplifier. This will also keep the retained acc. power to your radio. Otherwise you can catch the outputs at the factory amp in the bottom of the center console.
