I just bought an aftermarket stereo for my jeep. I have the dash install kit, and the harness for the jeep, but when i try to put the cd player in the dash, it doesnt fit. The wiring harness is keeping it out, and i have trimmed it down as much as possible. There is just no room to put the harness....any ideas?

just get it done somewhere for like 30 bucks

if you are installing a Pioneer DEH-P77 1.5 DIN CD Receiver, then it should fit easily and you can do it yourself.

i had the same problem...just work at it....try to make it fit slowly...keep adjusting wires as you push new deck into place....i remember it was frustrating...but it can be done!!

I replaced mine with a Kenwood and it fit OK. The height & width were no problem, but I needed to tuck (force) some of the wires back into the stereo bay. There's some foam insulation at the back of the bay that can be pushed aside to reveal a bit more space to tuck wires. I chose NOT to pay someone to do it because (although Best Buy has "free" installation) they quoted AT LEAST $40 in parts (mounting bracket & wiring harness). The parts were available at Wal-Mart for about $10.
