what exactly is it that you need? the GS is not that hard to get a radio installed (if you have the right information) I have the Wiring scematics for a 2000 GS it worked for me.

Well I was deciding whether or not to try to salvage my factory head unit, or just install my new after-market Pioneer amp and head unit....

But i decided to install the aftermarket stuff -- so i'm going to install them this weekend. Can you send me what you have for your 2000 GS?? I'm sure anything (diagrams, schematics, etc.) will be helpful. Thank you!

what system are you running stock? do you have OEM navi?

I have a 98 with stock Nav and when i took the task to add a multi-media head unit, i had to pull out my stock tape deck player, make all the connections longer and place the tape deck in my glove compartment, otherwise my oem Nav screen wouldn't work and there goes climate control along with other cool features. When I installed my unit I had to completely run new wiring, amps speakers etc.

I'm having the same prob. I have a harness that has the RCA plugs in place of the speaker wire. At any rate what/did you move the blue/wht wire pin? I hope I didn't confuse you more then me lol
