Using a stock radio from a Traverse

Same PN? then my guess yes
 
They are different part numbers.
Doubtful. Stick to parts from other GMT900 trucks as the radios in the Tahoe / Suburban are the same P/N. When I installed my heating steering wheel it was tempting to go with a wheel from a Traverse as it was cheaper and looked identical but the clockspring had a different P/N so the connections would not have matched up.
 
Thanks SNES! How did you do the heated steering wheel? It sounds awesome.
New Clock Spring: Clock Spring - GM (25966964)
Titanium Heated Wheel: GM 22947768 Dark Titanium Steering Wheel

Everything lines up as normal except the 2 wire heated element wiring coming out of the clockspring near the airbag wiring.. You cut off the end of the wire that would go to the harness and hook it up to the ACC power and Ground in the extension box in the driver footwell.

You'll see posts online talking about swapping the wire harness but that doesn't work on models that originally did not have the wheel as the harness that goes through the firewall doesn't have the required pins. (lots of wasted time on that one).
