You dont need to shell out the 150 bucks for the harness.. Metra part # 70-2003 is a buypass for the factory radio. You do have to run a new 12v constant wire and you will lose your wonderful door chime noise to indicate that you left your keys in the ignition, but it costs $20 instead of $150. you can get metra from pretty much any local shop around..

hope this helps
