Just to be clear, if you do not have an Amp there is supposedly a BROWN connector for the radio that goes directly to the speakers.

I could not find mine, but did not dig too hard to try and find it since the yellow connector goes to the speakers via the Amp anyway.

Do buy from a US reseller so you do not have the hassle to deal with extra shipping cost, 4+ weeks delivery time and import taxes.

Also make sure that it comes with Options that you want. ie Backup Camera (w/Night Vision)
TV antenna, GPS Antenna, GPS Software. Steering wheel controller.

As for the mounting rack I think I will be building one aircraft style with a 1/8" thick aluminum front plate and a tray attached to the back with flush rivets. The radio can then be screwed to the tray from the sides or bottom.

Everything will remove from the front as a single unit.

On top of that I will glue/velcro a plastic surround to match the car interior.

Pictures of course when I get that far but I am short on time to finish it up at the moment.

To attach the stereo wires to the existing connectors, since they are all female blade type I simply soldered and tinned the stereo wires, squeezed them flat with pliers and inserted them into the correct slot. There was no need to get any other connectors.

It worked fabulously as they are snug fit and make a solid connection.

Then I taped around the wires with black electrical tape so that they would not pull out when pushing the harness back.

I do want to try and locate a wire for the reverse signal so that the backup camera comes on automatically, but if it does not its no big deal. I'll just switch to it when I need it. If anyone knows where that wire might be give me a hint.

Also be sure to hook up the P_BRAKE wire on the stereo to ground so that the video can come on when you select it, otherwise it will not. (Safety feature so you can not watch Video while in motion)
