The FAQ tells you the wire colors etc. If your in the need of running all new wires, then run new speaker wires, find an ignition scource, might as well get a new power antenna (if yours is power) to get rid of the hassle of making the relay, and a constant 12v. Just use a meter when the car is off to find the constant, mark it, and turn the car on to find the switched scource (doesn't have to be on you can always just put it to ACC).... Or well you can always just start chewing on wires till you get shocked.

Edit~ if you havn't baught a stereo yet I suggest Crutchfield.com. Spend at leaste 150 for free shipping, free harness, free antenna relay, free deck kit, and a specialized installation instruction booklet.

In my opinion if you have to ask then you shouldn't do it. Not that your unqualified or anything but it's just smarter to get it done right the first time. Good luck with getting it done though.

yeah i'm gonna agree with you, i mean radios are a really simple thing for me but 90% of the people i meet are like wow you did that yourself, and the other 9% think electrical taping wires together is acceptable. being able to do something and being able to do something right are 2 different things
