i got everything from cruthfield back a few months ago. i had a extra
kenwood cd player i put it in and had super alterator noise coming in,
my cars a 5 speed. i tryed some noise filters and nothing worked. i even
tryed a tape player to make sure the cd player was fine. a loud buzz is
all i got. so i put the factory units back in. mp

>From what I've read, using the METRA 70-5519 Harness is the only way to
successfully switch out head units. Try checking out this website and
see if it might help you:

You might also want to search around the net for the symptoms you
described about the alternator noise and see if you might have had a
grounding or a sheilding issue.
Good luck.

Some of us (maybe, maybe not the original poster) don't want aftermarket
units.
Personally, I'd rather have the factory unit than anything I have seen. It
works fine, sounds good enough, easy to use and you can see the freaking
buttons on it.
It doesn't have a bunch of little bitty controls, no Las Vegas light show,
nothing flips up, swings out or detaches it fits perfectly into the dash and
matches the rest of the interior and no one wants to steal it.
It just does what it is supposed to, plays CDs, cassettes and has an am/fm
radio.. I like it like that!
