With all due respect, replacing a H/U is one of the easier audio mods to do. If you are this unsure of the the correct wire harness and dash kit then maybe this isn't something you should take on yourself.

There is an a$$ load of write ups on how to install an aftermarket H/U. And it doesnt sound like you have done an ounce of searching on here yet.

But I will give you a freebie. The dash kit you need it a Metra #99-7404 and the wire harness you need is a Metra #70-7550. Now you might get more answers if you shared more info on what you have. Is it a BOSE or Non-BOSE you are replacing, do you have factory steering wheel controls, do you still have the OEM speakers, etc.

Crutchfield should have them, I just dont remember seeing part numbers in the links from your post. Call them just to be on the safe side. They are not the cheapest, but they do have great customer support.

Here is another freebie. This guy did a lot more than you are talking about, but it gives some great pics and details on the H/U.

My bad, you are right. I transposed the numbers wrong from the website that I am not allowed to mention on here. Thanks for pointing out my dyslexia, no more freebies for you!!!

No it's not really that hard. You just have to make sure and have the right tools/parts, correct knowledge on what to connect where, and know how to take the various interior parts off.

Behind the passenger's seat?? There is a large cubby there. Behind the driver's seat is a 10" sub on the BOSE model. To the best of my knowledge the Non-BOSE should have what looks to be a speaker grill there but nothing behind it.

I will give you my personal opinion on making wire connections. I always use crimped butt connectors or solder the connections and wrap them with heat shrink. Electrical tape has a higher probababilty of coming off over time. If you dont have those things you can pick them up at Radio Shack or even Lowe's.
