Does anyone know of any kits that let you retain your door chimes / lights after removing the factory radio. I replaced it recently with a Kenwood excelon. I dont care about losing the steering wheel control but I miss my door chimes / lights already. Thanks in advance.

yah that is a good one...scosche offers one, dont buy it, they r bad quality and dont always work

 

Metra is the best company out there by far.

 

u know come to think of it ive never heard of nebody usin nethin but metra...except for those misguided souls usin scosche

 

this might be a dumb statement.. but i had my kenwood hu installed in my car too.. i didnt lose my lights or door chimes.. they do sound different though, theyre louder and in a different tone than they were before.. i did lose my steering wheel controls though

 

Thanks for the tips and the link (bonang), I looked at Metras adapter on the Crutchfield site and read all the owners reviews and from the sounds of it, may be more trouble than what its worth. Sounds like the adapter needs a little refining.

The place that installed your deck used the adapter

 

You should contact Metra. http://www.metraonline.com/ Look up your car and it will tell you exactly what you need. you can also order directly form them I think.
