can any of you guys who have changed out your Shaker 500 system tell me where you picked up your wire harness? I happened to be at BestBuy and considering buying Guitar Hero, when I got the idea to see how much a wire harness would be so I could swap my kenwood deck into my mustang. I was told it would be $100 for the parts because I needed some adapter to keep the door subs operational. This seems pretty rediculous to me; I was expecting needing something just like this: http://www.crutchfield.com/App/Produ...amp;tab=review

thanks for any help.

 

just call up crutchfield and have them send what you need....its like 15 for the harness and 15 for the dash kit.....BB is full of horse ****!

 

sweet, thanks man...I never really believe anything they have to say there.

 

Buy your stereo thru Crutchfield and all the extras are FREE.
Adapter, dash trim, etc.

 

that was going to be my advice but i think he already has it

 

well i already have a head unit from my previous car that I wanted to put into my mustang...I mean it's a little older but it's still great, and I believe it fits. It's a kenwood kdc-mp228. I'll probably just call up crutchfield to check up on everything I'll need to get.

 

Just go to Circuit City or Best Buy the parts will be about $60+

 

I think that you will still need to install a regulator or else the subs will make a popping sound everytime the radio comes on. I'm not 100% sure, that every new deck needs this, but I know the people that installed avic's had to install a regulator.

Here is a link that might help you.

Dash Adapter = $10

And Kenwood harness. Splice to the above harness = $10

Everybody seems to carry harnesses. I think I got mine for a Kenwood DDX-6019 for like $30 at my local audio store (this was with an install, though, so it may have been cheaper this way.) I have noticed that to get certain Kenwood radio features to work (like Sirius) it takes a lot of extra parts that I didn't know abotu in advance (Like $100 worth).
