Anyone here know a vendor for the wiring harness/interface that will allow replacement of the OEM head unit with an aftermarket unit? I'm having trouble finding one. I currently DO NOT have the Infinity or MyGig, just the single disc AM/FM, no Sirius.

dont know if this will help, but i recently replaced all component in the sound system, all the harnesses are the same as mercedes or bmw...

i was able to direct link a new alpine unit using an aftermarket bmw kit

Thanks guys, ordered the Metra harness today, will be here in the A.M. tomorrow. Not cheap at $119.00 including the single DIN bezel mount, but at least now I can get it done.

$119 . Hooooly Mooooly. Two months ago I paid 70 for the harness, antenna adapter, and install kit... Did prices go up??

Who knows. I have a feeling it's because "I need it tomorrow" and the only other one I could find was Crutchfield and they are out, and may not be carrying them anymore.

Oh. I see. In either case, I'm sure you wont remember the hit once that stereo is up and rocking!

You didn't order the Infinity harness did you? I know it's more expensive.

Crutchfield doesn't carry the metra harness..they carry PAC only.

No, ordered the "non-Infinity" harness, and it was still $$$$.

I spoke with Crutchfield and it was a PAC, not Metra, but they said they probably won't be in stock anymore because they had some problems with them?????

So, hopefully the Metra works well and I'll have my stereo in before the roadtrip on Saturday.
