you are missing one more thing. the adapter to connect to the factory plug.
you can buy them at walmart, autoparts or any stereo store.

here is the tip. when you slide that metal holder into the car, bend the taps this way it will be secure and you won't be able to remove the HU without special keys (you already have them).

Or, be like me and don't attach it at all. That way thieves wont rip apart your dash and you can pull it out anytime you want to, IE, to add RCA's for your sub or to fix something.

ok..one more thing ..how do i remove the stock HU?

[shepherd79]

remove the ashtray and ashtray braket.
you should see 2 screws on the back of the stereo. remove them and you can slide the stock radio out.

[PsychoPaul]

as shepherd79 said, the only thing is. to remove the one or two screws that are at the back bracked of the HU. You will have to remove a black or gray box close to the carpet further back. should be behind the ashtray area. Note this is for the stock radio. as for any other radio. i have no idea. ...

lol ok all this info has just brought more questions to me.....in the pics u see a long peice of steel with holes in it,what is that for?

also, is the harness shown now the one that i need?

[dXsquared]

the strap holds the rear of the deck up.. there will be a bolt in the rear of the deck in the middle.. hook that to somthing... in our cars, its not needed and just makes for MAD hassle when you want to take the deck out again

Wheres the cheapest place to get power wire?

[coolcatkoko2000]

for an amp

[shepherd79]

i think the cheapest place would be Ebay or walmart. remember, the power and ground wires should be no less than 4 gauge.
