Starting the stereo surgery

Front speakers out and starting the bracket removal. I am also adding some small sony satellite speakers from a couple of years back. I will post pics. The test fit makes the sound so much nicer, they will be mounted beside seats. Headed out to pick up h/u and replacement front speakers. I need the wiring harness for the new h/u, anyone have a place to pick it up quickly?

Also while have radio out and dash a part added another power point. I am always needing an extra power point. I am also test fitting a mount for adding a garmin where the cd holders are. While need to find a bracket for garmin that is very thin or might have to glue a small piece of plastic to back. Test fit on that ( I think looks sharp)

anyone with info on wiring harness? That is last piece, looked on internet found a possible match but takes a week to arrive. I am heading to Myrtle Beach this Friday and hoped to have a better sound system.


Finished the front speakers and that alone helped alot. Believe the back speakers would really make it complete but no new Head unit with harness.

ok have harness and did all connections. everything is working except memory on h/u. remove key and lose all memory. I know it is in the battery wire which is supposed to be yellow. I cut it and lost all power, so it may be crossed with the red. I thought red was switched and yellow constant. Does anyone know which way it is?

On a positive note new rear speakers are great, I will post pictures. Very cheap mod and great help with the sound system.
