I can change the title of this thread for you so folks know what you are looking for. We have a member here "Proturbotiburon" that probably has one for sale.
Well, here's the issue with the harness, if you get just a regular one from Best Buy, you will have to do a LOT of splicing.
A LOT.
If you wait and go get the other ones from Circuit City, you can just plug it all in.

Just the regular one is $17
To do the way with no splice requires a second cable Cdplayer specific for about another 17
total comes between 36 and 40 for the no splice way.
I know this as i just bought them like last week

Yeah, splicing doesn't seem like it's that much of a chore until you do a modern radio harness. Then, when you get the Smart Cables from Circuit City and install them, you never wanna go back.

No, Best Buy doesn't carry smartcables. I've been there, and they told me they did, and they were the same gay ones everyone else has.
It's up to you of course, but the nice thing is, when you want to change your stereo again in the future, you just get the ONE new cable you need, and it takes about 3 minutes to swap your stereo. Unscrew, remove, unclip harness, clip new harness in place, reinstall, rescrew.
I've changed stereos about 12 times in the past 2 years, and I'd never go back to the old DUMB cables.
