i fit my headunit in just fine. though, i have an es250.
it was damn easy. just took it apart, took out the old one, got the metra pocket thing (which works fine) and just put it in. very easy to do.
though...
i too cant figure out how to get the antenna to work.
its a huge like speaker plug, and a smaller (power?) plug, and well i have nothing like that on my headunit.

so yeah...we could use some help here..

Here is what I was told. What we have is called a diversity antenna, and therefore uses both plugs for better reception.
Unfortunately, many aftermarket head units only have a spot for one of these plugs, so therefore you will not use both of them. Just use the big one (the small one shouldnt fit).

I always wondered if there was some adapter that would let us take advantage of both. I dont think so though.

also if i remember correctly. our antenna moves up and down automatticaly to get better reception. i still haven't figured out how to wire up the antenna. i think there is like 3 antenna wire for the stock setup. don't konw which to use.
