Installing/upgrading JVC deck

I got a JVC KD-5050 deck, it only plays cds doesnt have mp3/wma or aux input. Iam thinking about upgrading.

I just have a question. If I get a new JVC deck, would I be able to just plug the old harness in the new JVC deck considering its JVC harness, I was thinking that most likely JVC harness wouldnt really change.

So the question is do all JVC decks use same harness, and can I just plug the old hardness in a newer JVC deck

thanks for replies

My AVX2 doesn't use the same harness as any of my older JVC decks.

You should look into a higher line than the 320. I ran one for about 7 months and was not happy with the sq, dont get me wrong it sounded quite nice for the $100 i paid for it but an extra $70 for a higher line would be worth it.

Mind my asking ? Why all the fuss over not rewiring to a new harness... It doesn't really take that long or anything. And, imho, there are much better decks out there than JVC decks.

Well I like JVC decks, and I really dont want to rewire everything, cause it was wired pretty well by someone else before, and I would hate to cut those wires and remove the electric tape, etc etc

Plus I'm getting a good deal on a nice JVC deck
