im heading to Crap Tire to pick up a cheap wire harness ($10) but im not sure about the mounting kit for an aftermarket stereo my friend gave me. will canadian tire have the right mounting kits?

I looked on google but im still not sure which one to get.

i have a 1994 accord and found these:

im eyeing the $15 or $17 one but im not sure a) where i can buy one specifically for my vehicle and b) whether or not it'll work with the aftermarket car stereo I have.

thanks!

its step by step with photos on how to install the cd player!
as for grounding it use a screw that's connected to the metal(body) of the car.

hope that helps =)

hey thanks brah it certainly did help.

Couple things I ran in to--I'll have to ground it another time + none of the mounting kit pieces fit so I had to use a piece from the stock stereo so now everything is great except the aftermarket deck is loose as none of the pieces of the kit wanted to fit.

Oh well, at least it'll be easy to go back in on a later date so I can ground it without removing everything, or if I find a better kit I could easily swap.

thanks again man. :)
