Re: Deck
It will make a huge difference. I have the monsoon system in my car, and i changed the HU to Pioneer, and it sounds worlds better.....for a car kit, goto Futureshop and get a Metra adapter for the wires (plugs right in, no cutting factory wires), and if you had a double DIN factory deck, you need to get the cubby hole thing or a space blank from Enfig.com
EDIT: you also need an antenna adapter cable......they'll know which one (I can't remember the part #'s right now..)Last edited by Aleks; 06-13-2006, 03:03 PM.2006 Colorado Xtreme | AEM CAI | Walker exhaust | smoked glass | -1" dropped rear | Avic D3 | 8000K HID's

Re: Deck
yes, huge difference. friggin huge even.
if by chance you want AM, you will need a powered antenna adaptor.. futureshop wont know this. Good for checking hockey scores, otherwise i never use AM anyways.Stefan

Re: Deck
I found the sony was louder, and sounded better but I went back to stock for the phatbox.
I have Ryan's old cubby and antena adapter that can be sold if you're interested. The harness is there too but I don't have the wiring schematics.

Re: Deck
Geoff I will take that antena adapter off you since I can't find the other one for my deck (mine is in the wifes car). Plus I have to take my deck out to fix it anyways :(
The adapter comes in handy to boost FM to so it will sounds better all around.Name: Brent

Re: Deck
Only MK3's have the alarm in the radio and yes it should be almost a direct plug in (with the right harneses that is).Name: Brent

Re: Deck
I have this deck here, but im not sure if it would look good in the car? what you guys thing? maybe there is a differnce deck that looks cleaner and nicer?? I was thinking if i put my deck in, i would do the 3 guages above it rather then have a cubby hole, what u think of that?Attached FilessigpicComment

Re: Deck
stopped by futureshop today to get my deck installed. they did a good job but i didn't get radio put in cause i don't want any wire cutting happening. They did a good job but it doesn't sit flush which i was hoping for. oh well, two thumbs up for them.Comment
