Ok, well, first off. I bought a Metra kit. All it is, is a cover for the lower storage compartment. It converts that into a din. It should have come with a wiring harness. This harness makes it 100% easier to install. That way you don't have to remote the radio at all. If you don't have the harness, you will have to test each wire to hard wire it to your car.
