did you buy the harnness? (a wire connect from your car to after market cd player) stock cd player doesn't need 1 so they dont' come with 1, and did u buy the frame? to direct fit your cd player to ur car? if u buy the frame, included in the frame, there should be instruction tell you how to take out ur current 1 and put in the new 1, and after that connect the wire on the harness to your cd player, then you done.

this is how to remove the radio.

if you purchased the aftermarket harness, take that and color match wires to the aftermarket radio. Be sure to check that you're matching orange wire to orange wire ... orange wire w/ stripe to orange wire w/ stripe. Solder all connections and wrap with electrical tape.

If you don't know what you're doing, you can fry your radio and or damage your electrical system. This isn't something that I'd attempt if you're nervous.

Note there is an error, 1999-2000 should be 1998-2000.

I didn't bother with the aftermarket kits. Factory frame (or bracket) is reusable for my kenwood deck.

Good luck removing the clock and dash panel, not as easy as it looks.

you've obviously never done it because it's very easy...just have the make sure you get the screw behind the clock

I intentionally didnt put that screw back in. Makes the job faster not having to remove the clock to pull the trim piece. I knew i'd have it off enough to warrant not putting it back in. And now that Kenwood will be coming out with a new model to replace the MP828, I'll most likely be replacing my radio again soon.
