In case it's not clear;

DON'T cut the harness or I will call you names that you will not like.

You dont need the factory retention harness, if you dont care about your door chimes. Get the tracker/gm harness, 15 bucks. There is nothing wrong with wiring your deck directly to the factory wiring, if you do it right.

You may need to source an accessory turn on for the deck, but besides that, everything should be at the harness. The only issue should be the loss of door chime.

Yep. The only thing that the $150 harness does is give you a retained accessory wire and a door chime.

Get the Geo Metro harness and tap into the windshield wiper circuit for accessory and you're done.
