well I would start by listing it on craigslist or returning it to the store, but hey I'm just the guy who has lost an amp due to a crappy headunit that sent a hard pulse thru the RCA at every shutoff so I have learned to not even risk it, plus mixing cheap brands (literally you can buy that radio NEW for a 100 bucks online) and flip out motorized screens is never a good idea, the good brands have enough issues with the motorized screens.

OK, now with that out of the way it, what you need depends on wether the car has On Star or not and may have an upgraded audio option, not sure about the S-10's but other trucks around those years had a standard audio using the headunit for power and other models, usually the ones with Onstar, had a factory amp.

I would say go to the Metra Dash Kit or Scosche website and walk thru the vehicle options and see what parts it lists, then get the single din dash kit (typically has a pocket) and the appropriate wire harness, or just go to walmart and find the kits listed for your model year like everyone did before the internet existed.

Bummer on the amp, I burnt some up in my younger years. Well went to Walmart and got the ****. Slightly disappointed because the wiring connector is not correct. Have a 02 s10 and says it fits, it doesn't. Then looked at s10 blazer and Isuzu hombre same **** as s10 and they take a different connector and probably the connector I need. Guessing mine is a late 02 year and has 03 wiring.

yeah, some years are weird, thats why whenever I need to get a harness locally I try to go there with the vehicle in question with teh stock radio either pulled out or easily removable so I can confirm the new harness fits properly before leaving the parking lot, I had to go only for the Trailblazer to get the one with the "chime" box that gives you a RAP (retained accessory power, the red wire on the wire harness of the aftermarket radios) since GM did away with the traditional RAP wire and went to some other system on those making it a like 50 dollar harness instead of a 15 dollar harness.
