aftermarket CD player

HI,
I am looking to install an aftermarket cd player so that it can handle mp3s files and such on my 2002 pontiac grand am. I don't have monsoon. i was looking at the players around $120-130 range at circuit city. when i finally decided on the one i like, they said, i need extra $2-300 for "other" parts or accessories!!! I just want to ask if they are trying to rip me off...

Thank you
Ernesto

Well maybe the 02's are diff from the 05's but all I had to do to put in my alpine was buy the adapter kit witch was like 50$ if I remember right. Most of those electronics placed tend to over charge you for stuff anyways.

the reason they are charging so much is cuz the harness which will keep your door chimes and light chimes and all that chiming nonsense costs a good 50-75 bux depends where you go, but i said who needs the stupid chiming so i skipped out on that part... but regardless if you get a radio for 150 with install no way your total will be around 300 more like 200-250ish with install and everything

IDK whats different on a 2002 from a 2000 but I bought nice Pioneer off ebay for $80(retails $150) and got a 6-8$ wiring harness at Wal-Mart and was done. Had less than $100 in my CD player in my 2000 GA.

i got a sony CDX GT 320 and got everything connected. but, when i attach the face plate, it won't even turn on. I can put a cd in and eject it but, it won't do anything else other than that. does any know why?

Well I would say either it is wired incorrectly or you could just have a defective unit.

i would agree with the power wires are connected incorrectly.
