when i had the stock hu behind the dash i ran wires for

now that its in the stock position i am running all those plus

as far as getting a harness i got my t harness at "car toys" it was like $15 and made it really simple
a junkyard one you could tear apart would be fine as well
you could also probably go down to radio shack and find some kind of plug that would wire into the stock stereo one wire at a time, since you only need 3 it should be fine to do this, but kind of a pain
here is a wire guide in case your stereo doesnt have one on it, i cant see the other side of your hu in the pics
also here is my setup, alpine hu below, stock above, and ipod hookup behind stick
i love the stock clock, slightly hidden stereo, and ipod setup
good luck
