If there's a plug attached to the radio, about 2" wide, then you don't need the harness. If there is just a bunch of wires not connected to any plug, then you need a harness.

Just get one @ Best Buy or whatever...it's like $17
Yeah, I ordered my wiring harness online, but you can get it from Best Buy, Circuit City, Tweeter, etc. Oh, Lisa, you'll also need an install kit, like a pocket, you can get that at the same places. And I've got the removal keys lying around if you want to hit me up for them. Hopefully your stock stereo will come out easier than mine did. 
I just ordered the harness and the trim for the front from a very nice guy out in Portland using Craig's (1sty) link to Kenwood Parts Dealers http://www.kenwoodusa.com/support/parts_dealers.jsp the whole thing with Priority shipping was $15.85 
Thank you Jersey for the suggestion, I called them and was all ready to get my stuff from them this evening but I figured I'd call the guys on the West Coast (once they got up (poke) (lol2) ) and it was quick and easy, thanks again to everyone. gl Lisa, its a snap to do once you've got all the parts, I pulled (with deckedoutmp5's help) the stocker and installed the bracing and the pocket in about 5 minutes.

do you know who sells the pocket. i'm going to be putting in my pioneer from my civic on the P5 and i need the pocket, and if u sell the removal tools too.
You can download the manual form www.kenwood.com if you need more info
fyi.. the part number for the metra wiring harness (the Mazda part) is 80-7903.. that is the harness with plugs on BOTH ends so you don't have to do any cutting, crimping, etc. etc.. I had to also get the wire harness to connect with the Kenwood and i'm not sure what that part number is right off hand because I'm at work. Both of my wire harnesses had plugs on all the ends so I just plugged and played.. 
AND.. Circuit City and Tweeter supposedly are NOT carrying Kenwood anymore (at least in my area).. Myer Emco is picking up Kenwood in like a month.. finding the wire harnesses could get challenging in the future..
