07 charger harness questions

[HelloImBob 10+ year member]

Ive always done my own installs but this one is a little more complex and delicate than the rest, I dont want to mess up my car and I was wondering if anybody here had experience with the new chargers and installing stereo systems in them for any tips.

but my actual question is can I get away with just using a reg old wire harness for my stereo install or do I have to buy the canbus nav harness, I was told it wouldnt turn on the HU without the canbus harness and I didnt wanna buy the cheap one just to turn around and buy the canbus harness.

Ive got an SXT 07 charger, without a nav radio, using all my own amps and doing a complete system in it. I would love to save 70$ and not buy the expensive one if I didnt have to....

the harness is the easiest but you could just run your own wiring and bypass the harness.

u got the 6 speaker system with bose amp or no, u dont need that expensive harness

lmk what audio package u got

I might have the 6 speaker package if the 2 small speakers in the dash count but I dont know about an amplifier, it does have a few extra things like leather power driver seat and a couple ad-ons. I bought it used can I enter my vin number into something that will tell me the complete specs on my car?

yes, you need the peripheral or axxess wiring harness, otherwise the stock amp will not turn on nor will all the other shit, unless your putting in a new speaker amp i would just spend the extra 100 to do it, its gay and yes we all had to do it in our chargers.

True

& Seriously get the Canbus it's so much easier

yea Im replacing everything, putting the stuff in my sig in there, but it seems to make enough difference to just get a good harness and be done with it. plus one day I may want to get a nav HU.

I miss my system its been close to a year since I changed cars and Ive been patient enough to save up for a decent system piece by piece and now Im anxious to get it in my car, no need to cut corners now and buy some cheap harness. So thanks for all your input Ill just wait and buy the real deal
