The wiring harness from Becker was around $20.
You can get the IHF-1000 from Amazon for about $149 (it goes on sale every few weeks) and the wire from Becker USA for about $13. The Motorola unit is great and easy to install. I put one in another vehicle.
Slide out the head unit.
Connect the wire set from Becker (plug-in)
Connect mute and speaker wire from Motorola to new wires
find a place to hide the control box for the Motorola (end of dash works)
find a place for the mic and fish the wire to the control box
find a place for the little button pad, fish the wire to the control box
connect Motorola to a power supply (one always hot; one switched) (fish two wires through firewall under where car battery is located with floor on passenger side opened up)
pair the phone
rock

here (for a different vehicle, lower model blue-tooth but basically the same job and identical wiring chart)
