    Should i buy or not?

    not sure they'll fit? my 6i came stock with 6x8 speakers and i'll be replacing them with 5.25 comps with adapter brackets. i dont think 6.5's will fit in a 6x8 hole with any adapter available. unless your doing something more custom?

    figured it out and got everything working... apparently "Plug the 16 way connector that you removed from the factory radio into location 2 on the back of the 99-7507 housing (see diagram)." should be followed by ONLY IN AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL VEHICLES in the installation guide...
