I used a "PAC C2R-CHY4v1 harness adapter" and it kept everything working perfectly and was easy to install.

In all honesty you dont need the expensive harness to make it work... Would I ever tell someone that that came into our store looking for one? probably not

A metra 70-6502 will work fine but you will have to run your own switched power wire. You could do a relay with the switched cigar lighter on the left if you want.

or you could use a metra xsvi-6502 which will give you switched power for around 60 bucks on the net or probably 90 at a local shop.

Hope this helps

Chris
