Double Din checklist I know this topic has been beaten to death, but I just want to make sure I have everything I need and that this will all work. This is going in a 2001 WS6 by the way.
I plan to get the following:
-Metra Malibu/G6 Double Din Mounting Bracket
http://cgi.ebay.com/METRA-95-3302-CH...item22ed188faa
-6LE Bezel
http://6litereaterdesigns.com/store/...roducts_id=190
-Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT 7" display
http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...on/AVIC-Z120BT
If I buy these things, will everything fit and be compatible? Thanks in advance.

If possible, I would indeed like to maintain functionality of my steering wheel controls. Would you guys be so kind as to link me to everything else I am missing, specifically the wiring harness adapter and antenna adapter?

Both the wiring harness adapter and antenna adapter are available from any auto parts store and even WalMart. If you order your head unit from Kee Audio he will include those items with the order. The wiring adapter is for 21-pin GM 1988 and newer and should cost around $10. The antenna adapter is to connect a GM antenna to an aftermarket head unit. It's a common item but I can't remember exactly how it's labeled.
For a Pioneer head unit you want the PAC SWI-PS adapter for your steering wheel controls. Prices vary but you can get it from amazon for $34.

You should'nt need the metra kit for the g6. When you place your order for the DD bezel make sure to specify the opening size so it will have a close gap.

^ If you dont use two screws along the side of the radio on those the weight of the radio could cause it to tilt some. Just make sure to use at least two screws on it.

we have sent out hundreds of brackets over the years
Pentavolvo has installed products We have installed procuts and almost 1000 bezels sold in 5 years have installed products and brackets work fine.
On a Corvette you have to use the brackets on the bottom
on a firebird or camaro you can but them on top, bottom, one on top one on bottom. Lock washers are included and they will not move.

That would be why I said "COULD". I was just stating that it MAY happen. I personally would never use just one screw per side to secure a radio. But hey, whatever works for you.
