just wire it... i have installed about 10 stereo systems in my life... about 6 or 7 didnt have a harness... you just run wires...

there are factory wire color codes in the FAQ if you need these

Thanks man i appreciate it. If i get the color codes for the wires is it possible to still use the stock wires?

[dXsquared]

yes... if you are using deck power, it will be ok... but when you run a subwoofer, use a big powerwire to the battery to the amp and a new remote powerline off the new deck or the fuse box

if you have specific questions, tell me the kind of stuff you have and are installin and i will give u a hand

if you buy a wiring harness you will be all set, most stereos use the same codes, its common sense wiring it up:

White=left front +
White/Black=left front –
Gray=right front +
Gray/Black=right front –
Green=left rear +
Green/Black=left rear-
Violet=right rear +
Violet/Black=right rear –
POWER/ACCESSORY
Yellow 14ga=battery main/memory
Yellow 18ga=battery CeNet power/memory
Red=accessory (ignition on)
Black=ground
Blue=antenna turn on +
Blue/White=remote turn on (amps) +
Orange/White=dimmer
Brown=phone mute
Orange=parking brake video lockout
White/Red=CCD (camera) input instant on +
