Does neone know the trick to putting in a new deck? Do I have to bypass the boss amp or can I get a wireing kit to come of that amp and go into the deck?
You will need to do an amp bypass. You will also need to go directly to the column for power and acc since the wiring behind the factory radio will "time-out" after a period of non-use and the radio memory settings will be lost each time you get in the car. The car is not difficult for an experienced installer. It is time consuming though, and DEFINEATLY not a DYI car for novices. The BOSE amps?

have you done one of these before? I got a part coming 2maro for input to the factory amp and i am going to wire that to the new deck, have you heard of this before, and does it work?
The part that plugs into the amp is simply a 90+ GM harness. I usually just get a 90+ harness, and 12 pieces of 18-16 ga. wire, 15-20 ft long, and basically extend the GM harness from the trunk to the dash. You will also need to run an antenna connection from the trunk to the front as well, with an antenna adapter at the end. I have never heard of the power 'timing out' in these cars. I have done many 92-95 sevilles/el dorados, and NONE of them 'timed out'
Like others have said, if you have only done a few decks, this is not gonna be an easy project for you...
thank you that is the part i am getting. I am glad to hear that this works. thank you again for all the help.
