Default Audio question for you guys.

Hi, i have one question about my hu. I have stock navi on my 00 GS3, i want to change the navi to an aftermarket one. i found some information on bananags site. i think i just need to reverse all the step, and i think all i need is the radio trim, a/c climate control. and the radio harness. but i have one question about the radio harness, can i use those 2 plug adapter harness on ebay? will it work with the stock pioneer amp?

This harness


Thank you
Frankie

ME! lol......i replaced the factory nav with a pioneer avic d3 but I used aftermarket amps as well.

non navi climate control is a simple plug and play..got mine from a junkyard for $25.oo hell of a deal I know....

look up my post and it will give details

hope it goes well for you
