Wire Harness or a Bracket???

[msmyer]

I was going to replace my “factory cd player” and I took it to Sound Waves and Best Buy and either have a wire harness or a bracket of the Vibe (or Matrix) to install my Sony Explode CD player!! Is anyone else having any luck, without using the universal one? Where is it available? If I find one I am going to probably do it myself….any instructions for me (keep in mind…I have the moon ‘n tunes package!!! Any feedback????

I ordered the Metra mounting kit #99-8205, and Metra wiring harness #70-2003 from http://www.autotoys.com. I had just the base am/fm/cd w/o the moons & tunes, but I believe you'd use the same harness.Here's a link to my head unit install:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=769Here's also a link to speaker replacement if you are going to do that also.:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=785Both the head unit, and speaker replacement is very easy. I'd rather do this stuff myself and know it's done right. Carl

I check out the site and that was a really good prices on both….was the shipping service good??….Also with the moon and tunes package are you familiar with how the amps that come with the package, plugged into the factory cd player??…And how it then might be plugged into my new head unit (Sony Ex-Plod)??? I haven’t looked yet, just trying to get a starting ground!! Thanks for any guidance you can give!!!

The harness and deck kit took about another week due to them being back ordered, but I'd order from them again.quote:Also with the moon and tunes package are you familiar with how the amps that come with the package, plugged into the factory cd player??…And how it then might be plugged into my new head unit (Sony Ex-Plod)???

I went to Circuit city and got both right in Dayton Best Buy should carry the harness and I know that the Fields Ertel store carries them in stock. You may have to make a trip to the install bay.
