    go to Pac-Audio and look up your specific application, you will see the wiring harness needed (apprx $160, plus the steering wheel adapters, another $100)
    then you have the dask kit needed, and an antenna adapter. OH and the stereo lol

    installing an aftermarket deck in an 04+ is more of an investment then it is for the 97-03 guys.. but its SOOOO worth it!

    You should wear a glove on your dominate hand when programming the steering wheel controls....to prevent massive bruising due to the repeated facepalms.

    03 GTP...Its got pulleys and stuff.

    Its prolly not so bad to a person without A.D.D. I cannot focus long enough to get through it all without screwing up and starting over.

    It wasn't too terrible to do. Admittedly I had to start over 2 or 3 times, but it's not like it takes 30 minutes each try.

    Just get one of these
    Amazon.com: Metra Axxess ASWC Universal Steering Wheel Control Interface (Black): Automotive

    Auto programs itself, worked on my 05 GTP, no programing needed

    Just make sure the stereo you buy is compatible with steering wheel controls
