pioneer FTMFW. and no it is not hard at all to wire up your radio, just make sure that you buy the right harness for your vehicle. on your car it is fairly easy just like the new edges just a little more stuff to take apart. and if you go with something that needs a VSS (vehicle speed sense) wire hooked up in use of GPS PM me or post here as I can get you all the wire colors and locations of everything that you need.

EBAY?

Do yourself a favor wire the harnesses inside. then plug them into car, and splice all existing wires accordingly then plug it in the headunit, install. Finally post pics and review of the radio.

i def like pioneer but only like the way the nav systems look, they seem complicated to do, im gonna try to research a little more before i pull the trigger

wraitherx · January 17th, 2009, 09:53 PM

they are not hard to install at all. the hardest thing is finding the vss wire which I have diagrams to. if you need help i can walk you through it.

Get the connector that allows you to plug the deck into the stock harness. Its a few bucks but its worth it.
