Wiring harness?, Weird... Options

[snadman]

OK. Well I got a new deck and I'm wanting to install it. I got the wiring harness for the 87up Toyota cars...but it wont go at all...not even close...BUT as I was looking online the GM one for 88up GM cars looks like it will match right up...hmmmm any ideas?

Getting that factory wiring harness out was a b!tch. After I got it out of there...in which I think I snapped that plastic piece that holds it under the amp oh well

Yeah I did the same thing. I was just so pissed that it was held in place under the amp that I broke the plastic fastener so I could have more slack with the wiring.

There was one extra little wire...not in the wiring harness at all...but kind looks like the anetnna wire but smaller...where does this go in my new deck? There's no place for it! On the stock deck it goes into a hole right next to the antenna wire bu on the new deck there's no spot for it.

I actually haven't installed my new deck yet ( it should be coming any day now ) but I did notice the 2 antenna wires also and wondered what would happen with that. I knew that the "extra" jack on the factory stereo was unique and that no aftermarket stereo would have anything like that. I'm interested in finding out what that 2nd wire does myself. Let me know if it effects anything.

As for the sound quality, Yes, check you're connections and DEFINITELY solder the connections to prevent the wires from coming loose in the future - unless you enjoy taking apart your dash for a loose wire.
