yours may have only been $20, but if the user wishes to keep his door chimes, it is a much more expensive harness(certain years of cavalier use this) and it is much more.


I think lord hugginton is on the right track, but the subs are up for debate..There is much more compareable for same or lower price in my eyes.

oh right i forgot that you could get a harness to keep the door chimes. that one runs to the trunk and you have to keep you stock stereo to hook into the harness if im not mistaken?

do u really need this harness?

i replaced everything in a '99 blazer LT without any special harnesses and the only thing that is missing is the door chime.

I'm here still. Just cleared out the PM box so resend it now and I will get it. If you don't care about your chimes I just happen to have your dash kit and harness adapter sitting here. I can for sure help with the install and for coffee we can get together and plan out what gear you want to put in there. Don't worry about the door pods as suggested for the front doors, 6.5" can be made to fit the factory holes. ( Dremel and a cut off disc.) The dash is relatively easy to remove provided you know where all the screws are. Let me know if you want to get together, I am around Rexdale - Dixon and 401 area.
Cheers, Nick

I don't know who you are so I don't know if I should take offence to that or not. Since you obviously don't know me I am a 43 year old white guy. Maybe a little thought before posting racial comments like that. Hey not everyone in Rexdale carries a Glock.
