Question
i have a 2001 tahoe. i am trying to figure out that the insert is called for the cd player and heating controls. i need to buy one for a 2004 tahoe, and the dash besel. is it a dash cluster, or housing im lost...

Answer
Hi Chris,

Unfortunately, most companies can't agree on the names themselves.

Those are typically referred to as 'dash kits' or 'dash installation kits'.

Unless you mean the OEM part, then they are typically referred to 'consoles' or 'clusters' or 'bezels'.

Expertise

I can answer questions about the electronics and mathematics behind car stereos, provide information on locating wires, wire interference, gauges, etc. Since they're almost entirely subjective, asking questions about brand names may not result in the most useful answers.

Experience

I've been installing car stereos for friends and family (albeit not professionally) for 8 or 9 years. My knowledge lies mostly in the math and technical aspects: impedance, required gauges, fuse levels, frequency response, etc.
