Anyway, just had to share my excitement with you all... LET THE SYSTEM BUILDING BEGIN!!! (one step at a time, right? ) '98.5 T-red SVT

Make sure you have the DIN tools to take out your factory HU. Take the wiring harness from the Sony and the wiring harness from wherever you are getting it from and sit down at a table to make your connections. It is a lot less frustrating than trying to do it in the car. Kharma is very real and she is one mean b!tch.

Yeah all you need is the wiring harness from best buy..make sure you get the right one (since Im assuming you have premium sound) if you know exactly what to do budget about hour to an hour 1/2..or if your like me and didnt know what you were doing you'll spend about 2 - 4 hours =)

Seems to be very common problem to those who install the newer Sony HU's. It is a nice heads up! Make sure you have plenty of butt connectors as well as a good set of wire strippers/crimpers. Don't do it ghetto and use electrical tape or duct tape! Budget about 1.5 hours. Good luck with the install...... ------------------ Neil Migala AOL IM "jimcrk119" 98 EO SVT #1735 of 6535 Superchip H & R Springs No Res 2K Wheels Painted calipers 95 Sail Panels Knauberized Eclipse 5303r Head Unit JL Subs MB Quart mids and highs Phoenix Gold Amp 1991 GVR4 Lots of mods done.

When you slide that metal tray thing you will prob. need to file the corners a little bit of the hole, otherise it's very easy, use some soder if you can, helps ------------------ 99 Tour SE Sport 24V Cabernet Red Xplod Head unit Moonroof Spoiler 99 Tour SE Sport 24V Cabernet Red Xplod Head unit/Xplod 760W Amp/15" Rockford HE2 2 10" blue neon lights in footwells Moonroof, Spoiler, Re-wired fogs to work right, 50w Xenon Fogs 80w Hyperwhite low's from midnightmoose
