Do I need a new harness adapter for 99?

Post by PharmAstrocist »

Guys, went to Walmart and got the dash conversion kit, but none of the wiring harnesses were for my year astro. Is this because they were out/didn't carry, or do I not need one?

Thanks for the help... I'm new to 95+ astros.

Ok, let me start over. Is there a how-to on how to even get to the radio in the '99? It was a single bezel piece in the '90, easy as pie. This looks like half the whole dash has to come off... then I don't see any screws on the unit itself... do I need a pulling tool?

pull off the piece that goes around the radio and the cluster, it just snaps off, it has lots of clips.

to get the radio out there is a tab on each side of the radio that you push down, this unlocks the radio and you can pull it out... you should be able to buy a harness kit... i think I did.

sorry about the lack of detail.. in rush!

good luck!

Now I have to figure out how to support the back weight of the new unit... I don't have those L brackets shown... :-k
