Hi. I took my cd player out of my civic today. It is an aiwa player. And I wanted to put it in the camaro now. I have a honda mounting kit and wiring harness with it too. Will I need a different wiring harness and mounting kit for this car now? And also, do I even need the mounting kit, or can I just let it sit in there? And finally, do I even need the wiring harness, or can I just solder the wires myself? Also, anything I might not be thinking of, can you please let me know about it. Thanks a lot guys.

First off, you need a diff harness connector completely different then the Honda. You could cut into the stock harness but I wouldn't do that. Yes you need a new mounting kit. They sell them at Walmart or Advanced. You could leave it siiting there but it would look kinda half A**. Let me know if you need anything else

ya....Use the harness its alot easier. Spring for the dash kit too. Might cost you all of 20.00 for both at walmart.

well, ive been looking around and circuit city and best buy want 18 each for the harness and mounting kit. I dont wanna spend 40 bux on this. and its a little less on crutchfield, but then theres shipping, so its like 36 bucks. isnt there anywhere else I can get it cheaper? or maybe both of them together? thanks again.

ok, i know everyone is always into doing it right, but you do NOT need a wiring harness adaptor. more then likley your stock harness with GM connector in the camaro is long gone anyway. secondly, your iawa deck does have a harness allready right? if so all you need to do is match the wires on the harness, to the camaro wires. many of them will be the same. red for hot, black for ground. yellow for acc. the harness on the deck should be labled (unless the installer who put it in your civic pulled them off) as far as speaker outputs go. . i am sure you could find a diagram on the forum somwhere that goes over the camaro wiring. and then just hook up the wires coming out of the back of the deck to the wires in the dash. i would recomend soldering if you want a real good quality connection. but if it is just a junky deck with stock speakers (like what i am running right now) you can get away with radio shack crimp connectors.

the dash kid however, you are going to need.

walmart should be a bit cheaper.

It takes money to do things right. If you can’t spend $35.00, don’t do it, work longer…

or you could go to AutoZone or Walmart and get everything you need for under $15....

I wouldn't cut the stock wiring harness when the adapter is like $4.... then the mounting kit is $8-$10

well the nearest walmart to me is in like bumble f***, but maybe I'll find the closest Autozone. THanks.

OK. My brother went to college today and there was a walmart there. I got the dash kit and the wiring harness. I spent a good 10 minutes wiring it up and getting it on. And first off, I think i need an antenna adapter (although i dont listen to the radio often anyways...especially now that I can play CD's ). But more of a problem, I turned on the ignition, nothing happened for like 10-15 seconds, and then it turned on. It was on for a minute and then shut off. It made the bleep sound that its supposed to make when you turn off the ignition. My "wiring job" was just twisting each seperate connection together, and then covering each one with electrical tape. Could this be the problem? THanks a lot. Also, could it just be one specific connection? Thanks agin.

You live in Rockville, how far can the Walmart be?

"twisting each seperate connection together, and then covering each one with electrical tape"

Solder/heat-shrink or crimp.

Yea, I didnt have anything else, and it only took like 5 miuntes. I was really anxious to install it. And the nearest walmart is in germantown (like 20-30 minutes away).

get some crimp-ons... you don't even have a radioshack nearby?

Yea i got some of those things. Its all working fine. Thanks for the help.

is there attena adapters so i can listen to the radio? caus eth stock one won't fit in my cd player

Try any store that sells car audio stuff.

neh, i didnt get an antenna adapter. and in case scrapmaker didnt notice, its already in.

This post was in response to Syn's post. I don't get what I would or would not notice in this particular case.

i don't know radios at all,and when i put my first one in last time the attena wouldn't plug into the back of my cd player
thanks

o..i thought you thought i was still looking for the parts to get it installed. sorry about that.

How much did you end up paying for that adapter, Syn?

at the store it was 10 but i didn't buy it cause i wasn't sure if it was what i needed. i'll prolly just buy it and see if thats what i need.

I think walmart and autozone sell them for like $2.99

wtf i was at walmart last night,maybe it was the wrong thing

I guess they could have changed the prices, but I think there's only one antenna adapter.

This is the wiring harness AND the antenna adapter

i got the same thing but it says gmo1 up in the left hand corner.
