Default what radio installation kit works with our car?

I am installing a radio and since have no installation kit for our models, i heard the ES300 one works with a little shaving of the sides. Can anybody confirm this for me, and also what year ES should I buy it for?

shouldn't take more than a few minutes to find out which wire is which. As for the power antenna wire you have to take the 3 wires you have left over and twist them all together for the antenna to work.

I don't remember if you look in the trunk at your power antenna wires and then at the harness you should be able to figure it out. All i can tell you is that you need to hook all 3 wires up or else the antenna won't go up.
