| Yep, that's it. Whenever you buy a radio it should come with a harness. Then you'll have to buy a dash mounting kit and a GM wiring harness (Metra part numbers 99-2011 and 70-2001 respectively). After that it's just matching up the colors on the 2 harnesses. After that I like to wrap all the wires from connector to connector with electric tape because it keeps the installation neat and helps with the limited space behind the dash. MAKE SURE YOU GET THE RIGHT HARNESS FOR YOUR CLARION UNIT. Nothing sucks more than not having the right one after you order it. Ask me how I know.
As far as the mounting kit it's pretty simple. You have to snap off some of the mounting ears on it because it's meant for a bunch of GM vehicles. Use the instructions and your stock headunit as a guide.
If you want to install aftermarket speakers I would highly recommend an adapter so you don't cut the OEM wiring (Metra part number 72-4568). I really regret not doing this even though my stock speakers will never go back in. | |
