Yep. I'm an OEM kinda guy. That is the theme of my whole car.

It was fairly painless considering all of the parts are OEM and "meant" to be installed in the FT platform. I did need an adapter harness that I got from SVXdc that made the whole affair plug and play. All of the wiring on the JDM cars and Accessories are quite a bit different then ours.

This install is not for the timid or inexperienced though. You will need to be very hands-on and have more than your average hand tools.

For most I will recommend to go with an aftermarket set-up as they are much more affordable. You will probably still need some kind of adapter harness or pinned wires to plug into the OEM harness.
