It costs about 120.00 and has a box that goes with it. I don't know why they did this but they did. I paid more for the wiring harness than I did for my aftermarket radio. The harness you will buy has two separate pieces and one plugs into both ends of box that comes with it. I think one is 16 wires and the other is 24. Been a while since I put mine in.
why have a CD player ? this is a waste of your money.

installing the latest MP3 players is a better sound upgrade. I guess if you only listen to just a few songs/music artists then this is all you need.
