Default Re: Upgrade HU, and bass management: 3 questions

I ordered from Crutchfield. From what everyone says, they had the wrong diagram but everything else is correct. I remember when I ordered it online it felt like Crutschield did not understand the crossfire but everything was correct in the package. They sent me the right radio keys,radio antenae adaptor and it looks like they sent me the right harness. I never used the harness because I bought a Blaupunkt London MP48 and it was a plug and play. No cutting wires! I have a base coupe.

I think the newer Blaupunkt models with the phone feature require a couple wire adjustments but my model did not need it. I just slide out the stock radio and put the metal sleeve in. Then I plugged the factory harness into the new radio and slid the radio in. It was that easy. I am not good at wiring radios and didn't want to have some kid at a stereo place take my car apart so I never switched the radio. I did some reading on this site and found out about the Blaupunkt stereos so I had to do it. Crutchfield was the best way to go because they threw everything in for free. I think I paid 140 for the whole thing... the best 140 I ever spent.
