No Radio STi to Stock
Hi All,
Would someone be able to tell me what is needed to bring an STi with the "No Radio" option, up to just the stock stereo with upgraded speakers? I managed to get the silver trim radio/CD changer quite cheap on ebay and wondered what else I need. The speakers, obviously, but what else? Any connectors, etc.? I assume the cd changer unit has some sort of amp..
Any help appreciated.
PS .. our primary concern is resale and we are aware the stock stuff is crap. We just want it to be as normal as possible in case we ever want to sell..

If this stuff isn't already in there:
- harness (female probabaly already there, dangling)
- don't need an amp, but you can add one
- brackets (chances are, already there)
- antenna. I'd recommend a nice bar antenna instead of some stocker-like one. Much cleaner
- you can find a stock speaker set on eBay easily
If there is no harness you'll have to run the speak wire, et al, yourself. That'll be fun
Consider however.... You're not the only one. Everyone knows the stock stereo is crap. If I were buying your car used I'd be happier if it was already replaced with an MP3 player
At least that way if I didn't want it, it would have some honest resale value.
