Yeahup, you just need a 30$ RCA modulator from circuit city or best buy then wire it in with the instructions. Not hard at all

Forget the rca adapter get a MTX re-q unit. It will keep your speaker levels up even when the factory deck wants to drop them.

be sure to use the ones with the most bass, i tried it before on ones that were for mid range and high's and it didnt have the output level of bass. i moved them to some that were designed for bass and it worked perfectly.
