well it works Beatifull its manufacture date is 09/2002
i wanted stock for a couple of reason (1) who wants to steal a stock stereo.
(2) steering wheel controls.
(3) I love the RED lights.
it has the same plug that hooks up to mine but on the other side it has another plug?
my sock castte has no plug but black tape over it i gusse so dirt won't get in.
i have the fix antenna but bought a power antenna and dose anybody know what the other side plug is for?

I would plug it up and see if everything works. Whatever does not work then thats probably what that extra plug is for. It may be laying around in the dash to.

That plug is probably for the remote CD changer that would go in the hatch area. wink.gif

SassySue is right. It's for the cd changer. I found this on LS1TECH:

Frequently Asked Questions

There are three connectors on the back of the radio. The two 10-pin connectors are clipped together and plugged into the same socket on the back of the radio so that they look like a single 20-pin connector.

C1 is the black 10-pin connector and the pins are number 1-10. C2 is the black 9-pin connector for the CD changer and the pins are numbered 7-15. C3 is the gray (or white) 10-pin connector and the pins are numbered 11-20. All these connectors are numbered from right to left when looking at the connector with the locking tabs on top and the wires coming out the back.
