However, she did get mad when i gave two kicker subs as valentines gift to my car and got my lady nothing. Yep, I am not getting any today but oh well, my girl (xfire) sounds great, that is all matters now
Kicker subs and infinity references are in, the car sounds great finally. But one issue,
I pulled the kenwood KDC 138 out today and wanted to put the stock radio back in but this is what i saw
The connector doesnt fit the stock radio. It appears, they modified the stock cables to fit the stupid kenwood in. So what do I do now? I want the stock radio in there.
Thanks!
Muscle, this is what we were warning you on when you started tearing into this and ordering an OEM headunit. You are going to have to get a OEM male wire harness for the radio. Usually (when done correctly) they would have left the OEM harness that connects into the back of the stock radio and then bought the female version of the OEM harness and wired the harness from the aftermarket unit into female version of the OEM, then you can simply plug the female into the OEM and you are wired to a new aftermarket radio without tearing anything up. Unfortunately the previous owner simply cut out the OEM harness and hardwired the kenwood one directlty to the leads. Good luck with your endeavor, hope this helps.
