Dude big thanks for this video - has every detail needed. I'll be looking to do this next summer. My radio is aftermarket so I hope PO did not butcher the harness

[@firstfix1870]

Just ordered one for my '84. What do you suggest I buy for the harness to connect into the vehicle? Or can I run with with comes with the radio? I purchased mine from amazon as well.

Thank you for the video. Also, do the buttons light up? I cannot get anyone to give me an answer and Continental.

[@Rurik_JustCruzn]

Yes the buttons should light up.

Thank you for getting back to me. Unfortunately they do not light up on mine, just the center display. @@Rurik_JustCruzn

you need to connect the "illumination" wire going to the radio. Tap into the ash tray lamp wiring.

Was that at your new shop?
