Default Installing an aftermarket sterio

Well, I want to install the sterio in my rex into the eclipse, however, I am trying to figure out an easier way to do it without cutting up alot of the wires. Any suggestions out there? I could also use a wiring diagram for the sterio if it isn't too much trouble.

get a wiring harness that snaps into the factory harness and gives you prestripped , color coded wires. if you have to cut anything in the factory setup you don't need to be doing it yourself. Scosche industries makes wiring harnesses for almost every application and are available where any stereo equipment should be sold. if you don't have a walmart near by check w/ crutchfield or cardomain the harness shouldn't cost more than $15.

im going with madmat here cause i have installed plenty of car stereos before and i have had to cut and splice all of them except my 3000GT cause i just went and bought the install kit for it. all you do is unplug the stock stereo, plug it to the wiring harness, match the colors, them plug it in your deck and BAM!!!!!you got a new stereo
