buy the wiring harness for your car. Beat the hell out of the stock deck to get it out of the car, then follow the instructions that came with the manual.

Yeah, I agree. Buy one of the wiring harnesses for your car. It should cost $10-15 and it is well worth the price. You should be able to wire that to your receiver while watching tv or something and then the only issue when you get out to your car is taking out the stock radio. Other than that it will take 5 minutes.<p>Steve

There is an adapter that should hook into the stock harness. Go to your local stereo place and buy it. It should be $10-15.

a friend who has done this in the past has told me just to find out what the wires do and slice the stock harness off and connect the wires. I think thats what ill do. What do u think? i know one of these posts had on them what each wire is, anyone know?
