I don''''t know how long it takes to ship but if your wanting it for the 4th of july you better get going to ensure you get it.  If you go to nexxia and order they have different options for shipping times but it will cost you.  I''''d try the company that you linked with that harness and try their first. From nexxia though here''''s what you need according to their site: Harness-Non amplified: PC2-81-4 Antenna Adapter   PC5-100 They have a steering wheel interface for the car as well but I''''d just buy the PAC but if you wanted you could buy that from them.    < Message edited by aquill1 -- 6/26/2008 10:42:44 AM > _____________________________ (in reply to 03 S Type) Post #: 62

Ideally I want to have this all ordered by the end of the day.  Since I''m staying on campus I''m going to try and order it all today and have it overnighted to my cousin''s job since I''ll be in ATL for the weekend.  I''ll call them now to find out!

UAA from walmart has an adapter that looks a lot like the one on nexxia.  Here is what I found... Considering the cost of that adapter I''d go buy one and try it out and see.  If I get a chance I''ll go rip my radio out of the jag and check but right now I don''t have time. _____________________________ (in reply to 03 S Type) Post #: 65

I''ll pick that up from Walmart today.  I''ll try to ask if there''s anything I can do to fabricate a harness while I''m there too- otherwise I''ll be ordering the one from the UK and playing the waiting game.   (in reply to aquill1) Post #: 66

Also, this unit won''t work for the double din because of the bar.  It was an interesting attempt though. http://www.nexxia.co.uk/Car_Stereo_fitting_kits/images/FP-14-01.jpg (in reply to aquill1) Post #: 68

Cut from nexxia''s site... Facia adaptor allow you to install a car radio of your choice with out altering your cars existing appearance. Can also be used to install a double din unit, click below for universal cage. I''d hate to see you get that unit installed when I see them online in the 600''s...1100/1200 installed is freaking high!  _____________________________ (in reply to 03 S Type) Post #: 69

I may be settling for the DNX5120 (its cheaper, plus it seems noone else on here has it so it''ll put another spin on the options available ), then get the dash kit, and the Wiring Harness from Nexxia tomorrow.  As far as the Antenna Adapter, either will work, though I may just see if I can toss that in from Nexxia since Walmart is a 30 minute drive from where I''m currently situated (LOL with the gas prices it''ll make up the difference).  I''ll worry about doing the steering wheel controls at a later date, I just want to make sure everything is working and functioning how I want it to on the unit first and foremost. < Message edited by 03 S Type -- 6/26/2008 10:51:09 PM > (in reply to aquill1) Post #: 70
