  • Radio Install Questions...

    Hey guys, I want to put my kenwood head unit into the festiva. I preiviously had it installed in my Jeep until I junked it. My festiva didn't come with a radio when I bought it so there are no brackets to reuse (as I have done with other vehicles) so, where can I get a install kit? does best buy carry them? Also, Can I remove the wireing connector from one of my jeeps to make it work? I belive I need to run new wires to at least the speakers, mabey more. It was only installed for about 4 months so it still looks new (still has the flags on the wires to tell you what they are for). I have pics of the head unit below.



    If you can't fix it with a hammer you have an electrical problem.

    as long as you have the color codes for what goes where, just splice it into the festiva.
    about your bracket, your best bet would be a Junk yard or post a [WTB] in the for sale section...

      I think your best bet would be to get a radio harness and install kit.

      The Scoche Part numbers are MA01B for the harness and FD1475B for the dash kit.

      Probably can get both for under 20$ on ebay.

        Buy an install kit for a late 80's Mazda 323.

            I have a metal one lying in the garage and a no splice pig-tail. I found mine online through ebay.
