I have a 99 GS3 and I installed a sony xnv 770 nav unit. I couldnt find a harness so I had to wire it up myself.
I hardwired/soldered the sony harness to the factory radio harness. I bought a multimeter, solder gun, speaker wires etc at the pawn shop for $23. I ran new speaker wires and bypassed the factory amp. I just used the speaker wires on the amp harness going out to the speakers temporarily until I get serious.
Everything works perfect, and sounds way better. When I first learned I had to hard wire, I searched this forum and google for about half hour. I found some good info that should of been stickied, but I cant find it now Ill post up if I find the links again.
