yes, you can. run the left and right into the case to the capacitors. for the ground run it to the side of the case.

I went with the kenwood dnx-5120 double din because I like the garmin gps. I like how on the kenwood you can change the color behind the buttons to match your existing buttons in the car. It matches the stock lighting perfectly.

did you use the middle pin as ground? 99 SC may be different but if it says L and R i would think it would work the same.

Define not working. If it powers up you can do pure drifters mod. I ended up going that route in my 98 GS. I don't even have a disc in my changer. Now that I think about it I wonder if it'd work without the magazine.

Anyway his method works great. I even attached a moto bluetooth kit to the input.

Pure Bliss!
