No re-wireing was necessary, I bought a wiring harness from best buy for 15 bucks

I found my hot wire just fine. I just couldnt find a signal wire so I spliced it from the cigarette lighter. Previous owner just cut the harness so I had to sit out in the cold and test it for 4 hours just to hook up the wiring harness for my new deck. GRRR!

Well I just finished wiring it. It only came with the plug that goes into the radio so I just sat down with my haynes manual and owners guide and spliced and soldered all of the wires. It works great and wasn't hard at all. Now I have to make a face plate to cover the empty space.

I will take some picts as soon as I have a cover.

What kind of frame are you talking about?

I'm actually using the Bose CD/Cass in my car from a 98 Max. It fits perfectly.
I have a Sony Xplod setup all around. 6 1\2s in the doors, 5 1\4s in the back deck, four tweeters, 1000 watt amp and two 12s in the trunk. I had to buy two harnesses. One for my car and one for a 98 to make it work

I made a face plate and covered it with some tan cloth and I made a box that goes where the eq came out that holds some cd's and my iPod. I messed the box up while putting it in so I need to make another one. I will post picts when done.
