ok then... So what is the best way of doing it... if i'm gonna let the shop do it, it will cost me a lot... So I have decided to do it myself with your help ofcourse, in that case, if i'm gonna change it again, then i will know what to do... I'm attaching the cable codes of the new one (Alpine), just in case u will ask...

he has nothing connected to the input wires of the factory amp. How much time have you spent on trying to get this done? Is that really worth the 20 dollars you are trying to save by not purchasing the harness?

you have to send signal to the factory amp. that is the square plug. If you really want to get crazy you could do an amp bypass. The amp should be located behind the passenger side trim panel in the cargo area. It's a fun time removing it but once you do you can access all of the speaker wires quite well. Either way you have to tell the factory amp or the speakers what to play. Wether its at the deck or the factory amp it is your decision.

I'm so confuse now, so sorry for that... I'm not savig anything.. i'd like to make it work... i know i'm missing something, and now i know that i'm not sending a sigal to the factory amp as you just told me, and i understad it... So If buying the Harnes is the solution, then i'm going to buy it... just need the exact model... my next question is... will it be easy to connect the wirings, or am i gonna have a problem connecting it? All i thought, the harness was the plugin that you will connect directly to the new one... Sorry for that... Maybe i was mixed up with all your explanation...

Just give me a final Decision on what to do... Am i going to buy the harness co'z i really need it, or i'm just missing some wires to connect?... which one is easy, just tell me and i'll do it, just to make my stereo work...

Thanks again for all your help....
