ok you stereo guys. I know this probably sounds like a newbie question (i'm a perfromance guy, not a sound guy), but I just did a search on crutchfield and it told me that only a handfull of stereo systems will fit my car (97 eclipse GS-T with stock Infinity Sound System), most of which are kenwood, and I hate kenwood. I really want those new Sony receivers, but crutchfield says none of those will fit. What the heck does this mean? I mean, if the harness is different, can't I just get a wiring harness adapter? Or is it some serious compatibility issue with this Inifinity Sound system?

Thanks guys!

Either din with a pocket or double din, so pretty much any radio you want. You would benefit the most if you rewired your factory amplifier.

Metra makes the special harness your vehicle needs to keep the factory Infinity sound system active. Part# 70-7003. We also have the kit for your vehicle, 99-7006 and an optional pocket to snap into the eq provision on the kit, 88-00-9700. If you want to bypass the amp, we have that harness too, 70-7002. Just about any radio will fit in to this vehicle.
