I did this swap this past summer. I had an 8 gauge power wire already run under my seat where my amp was at. I will look tomorrow and see which wire is the power, and where the ground wire I used is. Only had to hook up those two wires to get all the motors to work. I don't know about the changer, I use an Ipod.

do you have the console harness?

not sure but there should also be another harness between the bottom of the dash up to the radio.

you'd need to plug in the connectors including the one on the back of the radio

thats what i was thinking, maybe i can get the harness with the console too. but i was noticing that my factory radio isn't set up for a 6 disc. so i guess get the radio out of the expy or do without the 6 disc changer.
