[gijeff1805]

i am trying to put a system in a 2002 chevy s10, but the aftermarket harness that plugs into the factory harness costs $100!!! so i was wondering if i could cut the harness or just wire into it? and if i can does anyone have the wiring diagram for it cause i cant find one for a 2002 model. Thanks any help would be very appreciated.

dont be a cheap ass. itll pay off when you want to sell the truck "stock" and actually have the original head unit in it

WTF!? $100? I get those for under $10 all day!

yeah, were'd you price the a/m harness?? check wal-mart, cheap cheap there...just not sure on the selection.

i know some of the ones that bypass factory amps can be a bit pricy but i've never seen them over $45-50 at the most.

Circuit City has the harness with the bypass for my daily driver crapalier and its over a 100.

then yeah, just hack it up...use a chainsaw to get the dash trim pieces off before you get started, could probably use that to cut the wires and get rid of the stock headunit too...5+ hp motor on 88.25 octane gas (you gotta custom mix it) for best results


nah, just tell the dude to save up some $$$...or check online, or you can go to the dealership, get the end of the harness you need and pin up your own harness with your own wire.

ebay?

he's got good feedback, the description is a little unclear though...you could e-mail him to make sure it's what you need...or just check the other auctions

but $5-$15 beats $100

goto circuit city and ask for a metra 80-2003.....its 18.99 and it works just fine without all the bullshit....ps i work in the shop at CC so no worries
