AVIC-700BT in a 2003 F150

I got a AVIC-700BT that I am going to install into my 2003 F150 supercrew. I also got a Sirius SCC1 & SB10. I need to get a DD adapter and a wire harness. I understand I need to cut some plastic to make the radio fit, that is no probelm.

I have a few questions.

1 - What DD adapter and wire harness should I get
2 - Do I need anything else.
3 - Can I mount the GPS antenna under the dash
4 - Can I mount the Sirius antenna under the dash

I just put a Kenwood DD in my 2002 last weekend. I went to the Metra website: metraonline.com They just came out with a specific dash kit for putting a DD in our dash. I believe the part # for the dash kit is 95-5818, but if you go on the metra website and enter your truck's info it will show you the part #s for the dash kit and wiring harness. This is everything I needed, but I did have to cut out quite a bit behind the dash, and then I had to trim the dash trim piece that goes around the radio and heater vents. Not a big deal, but take your time and do it right! I think thats all i needed, but you are going to have a hell of a time getting all that wiring behind the stereo.

Its not that bad. Just trim subdash and route excess wires/GPS/Sat boxes behind radio to under the oval piece on top the dash.
