I went to Future shop yesterday to buy a new fandangled cd/dvd player for my truck. So i find one that i like and im talking to the sales men, and he tells me that i need to buy this 150 dollar wire harness for my truck! Is this just to get more money from me or what? With my 94 all i did was splice the cd player's plug onto the factory wiring. Any thoughts?

If you don't need onstar or the door dinger,you can buy a metra 70-2003. You will need to connect the red wire from the radio to a pigtail (included in the package) that goes to an ignition fuse.

Other wise you need the 150.00 kit.

no worries, it's stickied in the electronics section. Good info, helped me out when I did my install.

ps - ebay is the place to get all the crap you need.
