Yea I'm with u, do it right the first time, I learned that the hard way.

[deevergote]

i HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE cutting original plugs off, ESPECIALLY if a reverse plug is readily available. even if one is NOT available, ill find a way to be able to wire up to it without cutting hte original plug.

I'm doing that with my BB6 cluster... whenever I finally get back to that project!

[cvc7chris]

someone cut mine in my old 91 accord it was a pain in the ass to wire it!

[foamypirate]

Mine were cut when I got it, as well. Not only that, but they were using the parking light "hot" wire as the Accessory 12V, so I had to turn on my park lights to use my radio! =P

I've got all that sorted out now, but I still need to solder on the factory plug and get an adapter. The factory plug has been sitting in my garage for 5+ months now, but the wires are cut so far back I will have to pull the dash.

its not really a big deal either way but its cheap just to go ahead and buy a plug for it I think it was around 8 dollars

Using an adapter harness is great, cutting the car's original harness is not.

+1 to using a car side harness. Also, solder all connections. If done right, it will never fail, unlike crip/butt connectors.

Harness is so much easier than cutting. Plus if you sell the ride you can keep the aftermarker unit and put the sucky stock one back in.

I think sometimes we get blinded by the exciment of putting an aftermarket stereo, we don't think carefully or probably don't know the existence of a harness, which makes your job 10,000 times easier. just got to follow the colors and voila!!!! plug and play with all the options. but if you got a multimeter and patience to do wire by wire go ahead and do it. i personally never done it. i get it for $7.00 at my local store in downtown LA.

i jus put this thread up to see if i can stop sum people from doing that cause i sware every cb iv had to get factory plug for it

[djtomy]

well I definitly think twice about cutting now. I still have my factory deck!!

[marshallbuz]

just use a cheap adapter and save all that time and headache! walmart has them for less than $15 dollars.

[skilzz]

i wqas so freakin pissed when i bought my car. the previous owner hacked the shit out of it. so i had to rewire a factory connector back in and use the adapter because i had it from my first teg.
