thx. the tutorial there relates that tacotunes provides a wiring harness w/ their kit. i ordered the scosche kit from a diff. retailer. if it doesn't come w/ a wiring harness does that mean ill be unable to hook up my new head unit?

http://www.sjgreatdeals.com/sista2052blkb.html this is what i ordered, except in silver.

you need a wiring kit, unless you wanna go the bubba route and cut off the connectors from the truck.

i havent rcvd it yet, but nowhere does it mention a wiring harness included in the description of the sale. i also only paid 25 for it new, so i doubt it.

robsatx · 09-28-2008, 01:35 PM

yea, for $25 can't see it including to much.
tacotunes.com kits includes tool kit, crimpers, crimps and the wire harness plus the step by step makes it pretty much fool proof.

Lots of happy campers . . .

Anyhow just thought the instructions would help you out.

***08TRDOFFROAD*** · 09-28-2008, 02:56 PM

Maybe mine came with one just because of the seller I bought from off of ebay.
