I have the non bose radio. Did you solder the wires? I looked at the how to, and could not figure out where to wire it to my avic d3 on the harness . I did nt see where the speaker + - are at . Is there any way you could do a write up on how you did yours? I may be a little slow but I just want to make sure I understand it all before I tackle this job. Please help i want to tackle this. How hard is it to do, is it complicated?

unless im mistaken, its wired through that GMOS-10 harness, i think when my friend wired mine in, it was through the output cables, the red and white ones i THINK, not 100% sure on that 1 but i could of sworn thats how it was wired

Is this the only screen that is compatable with our DIC? I was looking at getting a cheaper Pioneer in dash screen. The only reason i want to change out CD players is because i want to have a good connection for my iPod. Is there a better/more cost efficent alternative than to put in a screen to get the best iPod connection possible?

good job...it looks good and is giving me motivation that it can be done without losing all the other options

I just bought a spare off ebay. Good thing about CTS's is they get crashed and totalled a lot....always lots of parts.

How can you not laugh with these 2 jokers. Some funny shat from both of them.

Kidding aside, A for effort and I like seeing people doing work on their own cars. Seems a bit "rough" to me though.

I will be taking a Dremmel to my factory radio next week, so I might find its harder than it looks. I picked up a spare unit on eBay just in case it doesn't go well, plus I can retain the factory unit if I want to sell the car.

I didn't think you were going to do it yourself?? Are you going to do the full install?

I think I will do the wiring as well. I am popping in a local install shop this weekend to get a price for the wiring but unless they are very competitive I will go it alone.
