its time consuming, and you need to know your stuff on the electrical side of it, but it looks cool.

Anyway, if you could find a connector like the one on your faceplate and make a custom cable once you figure out the pinouts... you may be able to do it. You would need a connector like the one on your headunit and also one like your headunit. Do you have a Fry's near you? They carry a lot of parts for electronics. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i think im just going to unsolder the connecter off the back of the fp and plug it into the hu and then just run the wires direct from the back of the plug to the back of the fp that way i can take it out if i need to

theres a radio shack near me
