Frequently Asked Questions - 99-7868 Metra

What vehicles is the Metra 99-7868 compatible with?

The 99-7868 is designed for select GM vehicles, including certain Chevrolet, GMC, and Buick models. Check Metra's website or the included manual for the exact list of compatible vehicles.

Does the kit include a wiring harness?

No, this is a dash kit only. It includes the radio housing, brackets, and screws. You will need a separate wiring harness (e.g., Metra 70-series) for electrical connections.

What size radio does the 99-7868 fit?

It fits a single-DIN (2-inch tall) aftermarket radio. For double-DIN radios, you may need a different kit or modification.

What tools are required for installation?

Basic hand tools: a flat-head screwdriver, Phillips screwdriver, panel removal tool, and possibly a socket set for removing factory brackets.

Is the kit easy to install?

Installation difficulty is moderate. The kit is designed for direct fit, but some vehicle disassembly may be required. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual.

Can I install a touchscreen radio with this kit?

Yes, as long as the touchscreen radio is single-DIN size. For larger screens, you may need a double-DIN kit (model 99-7870 or similar).

What materials is the kit made of?

The kit is made of high-quality ABS plastic, painted black to match most factory dashes. It is durable and color-matched.

Does the kit include instructions?

Yes, a printed instruction manual is included. You can also download a PDF version from the Metra website.

Can I return the kit if it doesn't fit?

Check the return policy of your retailer. Metra offers a 1-year warranty against defects but fitment issues may require verification via vehicle compatibility.

How do I clean and maintain the kit?

Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals as they may damage the plastic finish. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
