Re: stereo color codes

yeah, sadly it happens way too often. I've had 2 of my 3 3rd gens arrive with hacked stereo wiring. A trip to the junkyard for a factory pigtail and an hour with some solder and shrink wrap, back to square 1.

Re: stereo color codes

What bothers me even more than cut/hacked wiring, is when people hack the install of the actual head unit. Cutting plastic or breaking brackets due to over-tightening. I'm dealing with this right now on my GTA. They've also hot glued the stereo's mount to the back of the factory bezel, which sucks because the bezel is in otherwise great condition.
