So my stereo recently got stolen out of my car. (Bummer I know, but that's life) But they were a ********'s as well and cut the whole wiring harness back to where there are just exposed wires showing.
So my question is: What are my options in installing a new deck? Can I put a new harness in avoiding a hard wire? (wire to wire) or is that my only option to have have the new after market deck hard wired in?

 

If you like. You can install a new stock harness on it. This will make the cat factory again and you can use a ractory radio or after market harness to use what every radio. This is good if you swap out radios often for the new ones that come out often. Or if your set on a good headunit. You can just wire you new radio right to the cut wires.

 

Thanks, I'm not sure what I'll do, I may try and do it myself, but I'm a bit scared ill mess it up quite badly.

 

Take it to someone who's handy with soldering....either an individual or car audio shop. If you ground out the battery wires, you will have issues with blown fuses and lights (and other options) not working.
