I am looking into aftermarket headunits for a possible Christmas gift for my wife's H3. Is the metra 71-2003-1 dash harness all i need? It's an 06 with the standard system. Crutchfield shows they have nothing as far as harnesses for the H3. Thanks in advance

 

I was just on crutchfield and they showed this 120GMOS01 as the wire harness. I too have just the basic radio.

 

hi there....if you are using Crutchfield website....all you need to do to toggle the tab to outfit your vehicle.....it will give you all the necessary parts you will need along with the part number......i did it and used it and it worked out great....hope you find what you need there...i did...take care...Sam....ps...just a word of warning though.,.,,,,,,,dont be cheap with the install dash trim piece( the surround for the new double din head unit....there are some on the market that will make the best looking, highest priced head unit look like crap after it has been installed........go with a quality double din trim piece....take care.

 

thanks guys, i didnt buy a new headunit for Christmas but I'm about to order one today from sonic electronix. they are showing a scosche harness

 

got it installed and everything works perfect except the dvd player. I have to figure out how to wire the parking brake wire so it will play.

 

Strip it, throw a terminal on it, and ground it. All the parking brake wire does is get grounded to let the head unit know its "parked".
