Firstly please forgive my ignorance -- I am a complete noob on the stereo installation. But I did search the forum. I couldn't find my answer hence here's my question: I bought a pioneer avic head unit , for my 987 gen1 Cayman S, without the Bose package. I'm wondering what else I need to purchase. Is it just the wiring harness or the whole installation kit ? Does the whole kit include the harness? I have seen good reviews from euromotorspeed's products but couldn't tell from their description. There's also a kit on amazon but it has one star negative review which I'm hesitated to buy. I will probably end up giving the job to a local shop or a handyman on craigslist but I just wanna make sure I got everything ready beforehand. Thanks a lot!

You couldn't of searched very much as there's a ton of info on this. The EuroMotorSpeed kit has everything you'll need (except the head-unit) for a basic installation. Heres a link to Suncoast , which also sells the same kit. See the photo which shows the contents.
