I got a Pioneer fh-x700bt headunit for Christmas!! From what I understood no one makes a simple plug and play harness for the 1GS so aftermarket headunits have to be "hardwired " to the car but I did a quick Google and found these http://www.ebay.com/itm/121463505023?redirect=mobile and http://www.ebay.com/itm/360722250599?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT . Are these wiring harnesses something new or was I just miss informed have "hard wiring" aftermarket headunits in the 1GS. If it has to be hard wired I think I am going to have it done at a place like Best Buy or a place that specializes in audio installs. I am just no looking forward to running new wires all over the car.
Thanks for any info in advance! !

Anyone? I may just say F it and order it just to see how if it works if no one knows for sure. Its less than $30 so its worth a try.

I found this http://www.supraforums.com/forum/sho.../565489?page=1

Seems like it will work I found Twh14 on ebay for $6 so I ordered it. Found double brackets and fascia plate for $14 so I ordered that too. I will see if it all works...if not then I will just pay someone to do it for me.
