I have the additional cable and wiring instructions for the rear speakers.

I am also thinking of trying to find a CDR-220 to keep the factory look, but add the ability to plug the ipod in directly. Has anyone done this, or do you just go with an aftermarket? If I go aftermarket, can I use the existing amp and wiring?

Thanks!
6x40W amp transplant is plug n play - you just need to trim 2 tabs off the inside of the new amp to accept the harness on your 986. Also, you need to use the 4 empty pins on your existing harness (5/15/6/16) not the ones in Harvey's instructions (he'll confirm that for you as well - the ones in his instr. are for '03-'04MY)

Enjoy!
