call them up they might be able to make you a price. but if i remember right a 2ch amp is around 69$ and a 4ch is 89 i think. even the web site has the prices in the connect pro section

Is there still wires I still have to attach like a harness? I don't see how the plug works I found this page that say disconnect the stock and put in a aftermerket radio and plug it in.

Is it really that easy just a plug that plugs into me sony deck, I thought all radios had diffeent plugs?

Thanks alot !!

your deck come with a harness and every color means something. now buying an aftermarket harness FOR THE CAR lol will allow you to connect your deck to the car. all you have to do is put red to red black to black yellow to yellow. green to green. ect....

when both harness are all connected to each other.. the after market end will just plug into the old plug that is behind the stock deck

you dont need an aftermarket harness.
all the newer saturns use the same deck, and they have a wire adapter already there.
save your $20 and use the one thats already in the car.
