Re: Radio

Don't hack up the factory harness. You will be asking for trouble in the long run. Get the adapter from wally world and do it right. If you are installing a pioneer Head unit the wiring adapter is the same color code as the pioneer wires. Cutting up the factory harness is something I highly not recommend doing. That's the quickest way to shorts and other problems. The wires are very brittle on our 20 odd year old cars.
