Car Stereo Installation
Needed Accessories from Metra
Kit 99-3300
Wire Harness 70-1858
Antenna Adaptor 40-GM10 |
There are other
kits from Metra and other manufacturers for these accessories. We prefer
this Metra kit. The finished look keeps the installed car stereo flush
with the dash. Other kits may have the face of the stereo extend out of
the dash up to two inches. This is type of installation kit is begging for
the stereo to be stolen. |

1.1) Splice Metra wire harness
to wire harness supplied with aftermarket stereo. In most cases, these
wires should match color for color. (Note - Negative speaker wires have a
black stripe, it is important to mate wires correctly. Incorrectly wired
speakers cause for loss of bass, out of phase speaker.) |
