[QUOTE="farmert3d, post: 8243481, member: 659753"] Hello, First I want to say thank you for answering questions. It helps to know I have a place to go where I will not be judged while I learn. I have a 2007 Altima 2.5S with factory radio and manual climate controls. I will be installing a Kenwood DDX371 once the weather warms up a little bit. It was 7 degrees this morning on my way to work. As its to cold to play outside I have been doing lots of research and gathering parts and tools to do the installation right. Besides the included instructions for removing my factory stereo, I have searched for online videos on sites like Youtube. I've found a perfect video for removing the factory unit. Here [MEDIA=youtube]djUg9jPSunM[/MEDIA] This video brings up my first concern. The video show the gentleman removing 3 harnesses from the back of the factory stereo. My new Kenwood and included wiring harness only has one connection.
