Plug in wire harness for after market stereo?
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2007 11:46 pm
My brother-in-law just mailed a free CD deck. He gave up waiting for the boat he was intending to install it on, so now I'm changing out my Alpine tape deck for a sweet 1995 Marine edition Clarion CD Player. No MP3 support, and I doubt it will play CDRs, but it is a step up from tapes.....isn't it? Anyway, this is my first stereo install and I just figured out I need (or could use) a plug in wire harness. I guess using this would allow me to avoid cutting off the factory radio harness and splicing all the individual wires together.
Any suggestion as to where I could pick up a compatible plug in harness on the Island?
EDIT: Oooopppps, guess I should have searched more before posting:

EDIT2: Even better. I have an after market tape deck already installed, so I already have a wire harness, just needed a box of bullet connectors.

Ask for Metra 70-1743 harness for Dodge/Chrysler/Plymouth/Mits imports 1987-1984. Wire it up to the colour matched wires on your aftermarket deck and it's done. You will also have to drill new holes in the mounting bracket and buy a DIN universal pocket to mount below the deck.
