    Just to let you know, I found that you do not have to pull the dash past the steering wheel. I left the wires connected and just rotated it 90 degrees clockwise. There was just enough slack in the wires to do this.

    Crutchfield is probably the best source for buying aftermarket stereo components. They should have included detailed instructions specific to the VX.

    In addition, Crutchfield makes factory interconnect "wiring harness adapters" that prevent you from any cutting or slicing wires (thereby preventing you from destroying the factory plug-in wiring harness). It's a wiring harness adapter that goes inbetween the factory OEM harness and the new aftermarket stereo harness. Genious.

    They also make speaker wiring harness adapters as well, so you don't have to cut/splice any speaker wires. Get back on the phone immediately, and speak with a Crutchfield rep about instructions and specifically the "wiring harness adapters"!!!

    PEANUT BUTTER KID--- Thanks for the compliment. I graduated from a 4-year University with a B.A. in Radio/T.V. Broadcasting/Mass Media Communications Major. I also Minored in Music and Minored in Military Science, and got straight A+'s in all English related classes. Go figure.
