Hello again,

I've finally bought Kenwood MP3 player for my car today. I bought it from a local electronics shop at $270 US. I need to install it now.

I will try to keep the stock wiring and connectors intact if possible since, I (might) sell this car and get a better 325is e30 in the future.

The new unit has a mounting bracket which I slided in and out and it seems working fine without any screws(for the time being).

I am most intested in with solving the wiring problem. I will "break" current wires and create amother line so that I can use the ends.

I think my antenna will fit direcly in to this unit as well as power antenna wire.

The wiring connector that came with my Kenwood unit has 4 pairs of speaker wires. My stock wires seem to be only two and they don't even have postive-negative (or however you may wish to call paired wires). What should I do to fix this?

And another thing. If I use my stock amp(booster) would it cause any problems? Will I damage anything.

If I need to rewire my car which is the best approach?

Thanx again and have a great weekend(or whatever letf over from it)

Cheers,

Oktay
