1991 wagon headunit install Quick Q

Tried searching:

Either way going to be installing a Pioneer headunit into my 91 wagon.

Went to get an install kit, guy said I didnt need one. I remember removing the previous headunit and it had a mounting plate with 2 screw holes, I gave that back to the previous owner.

Is it true I don't need an install kit?? Was that mounting plate OEM?

    I didn't use a mounting kit for any of my wagons.

    You just need to use that aluminum square bracket it comes with. That is all I used for mine.

    yeah it soooo easy. i did mine in like 10 minutes. i used the mounting "sleeve" off of the factory radio and a wire harness from wal-mart. easiest radio i have ever worked on.

    Yes, that mounting plate that you are talking about is a factory item. You need that to hold the sleeve for the new radio. If you don't have one you could pull one from a hatch or 4 door I believe.

    Alright good stuff, thanks!

    Time to hit up the junkyard then.

  • RiceKillaRiceKilla Band Wagon

    Make sure to get a wiring harness, it basically snaps onto the car's harness but the advantage is that
    -you don't eat up the stock wiring
    -you can solder it to the radio harness outside of the car (much easier) which typically gives you a better connection than crimps, that is if its a good soder, then you just snap it in there and wham bam thank you ma'm, you're done

    Finally I actually contribute rather than just ask questions :lol:

    Okay so to make sure the DIN plate that goes around the headunit is OEM??

    I already have the harness, I work at Best Buy and its only buck with my employee discount.

    You work at best buy, so do I, which department do you work in?
