umm. yea, undo some screws, cut some wires, tape some wires, WATCH OUT FOR THE RED WIRE!!! and install. ya might wanna look for a diagram to help ya know what wires go where. im pretty sure you can find the wire schematics at pauldesign.

LOL. nice write up from dave!. ill be more precise. I think the OEMdeck is held in by a screw or 2 at the back, u gta take the ash tray out to get at it.

if its anything like mine the power wires arent red, they are orange and yellow striped. Im sure after u get the stereo out you will figure out what wires what.

sorry, when i got my car, it had no radio. and the red wire im talkin bout is the one that controls the lights in the oem radio, it doesnt do to anything on a aftermarket receiver and if it touches/grounds then all the dash lights and tail lights wont work. a few people have had problems with that (including myself and a guy who posted about it a couple days ago)

Or do it right and buy a harness and solder the connections to the new harness so you don't hack up the stock wiring and connector.

werd that is that i did and i like it...because i can always go back to stock if i was going to sell the car..
