    This is why you purchase a wire harness for $10.
    It is not necessary to solder car stereo connections.

    My advice would be to butt connect the factory plug back in and buy a wiring harness. It's so much easier and when you get rid of the car you can plug in the factory radio.

    Good luck.

      the radio is sick, although i think the speackers in the back are already ****ed becouse they are crackling and making weered noises.
