no... and you shouldn't even need a dash kit in a corolla... take the radio out... and take the brackets off... use some radio screws and mount the brackets to the new radio...
Tape in warm areas combined with motion = joints that fail. Head into the auto parts store and buy some el-cheapo crimpers and red butt connectors.
umm... pull!... that's all the directions i can give u lol

Just installed a cd player in my brother's 97 rolla actually, you don't need the metra guide, you don't really need a wiring harness, better to just buy harness though. I would seriously recommend soldering all electronic connections, but if you have a lack of funds, or simply don't know how to solder and don't have time to learn, just go with some butt splices, basically you just feed in each side of the wire into the open ends and crimp to hold in place. Finally wrap your splice in heat shrink and electrical tape.
Installation instructions
When pulling the cover off remove the AC knobs, just pull cover off and unhook the wiring on the back of cover for AC knobs and such. Next remove screws holding stock stereo in place. Remove stock stereo and unhook the antenna and wiring harness from back of stock stereo. I would suggest a wiring harness especially if you are a beginner at wiring, so crimp or solder wiring from new cd player to wiring from harness kit, you are going to want to make sure you match up your wiring on your kit to your factory harness. Next plug in wiring harness from new cd player to wiring harness from car. Finally screw new cd player in with factory guide and put cover back on and knobs and you are done.
Here is what your factory wiring looks like:
Constant 12V+ Blue/Yellow
Switched 12V+ Gray
Ground Brown
Illumination Green
Dimmer n/a
Antenna Driver's Pillar
Front Speakers 5 1/4" Doors
Left Front (+) Pink
Left Front (-) Purple
Right Front (+) Light Green
Right Front (-) Blue
Rear Speakers 6 1/2" Rear Deck
Left Rear (+) Black
Left Rear (-) Yellow
Right Rear (+) Red
Right Rear (-) White
If you have any further questions pm me.
