    i think its because you always have perfect grammar.

    OMG! I opened the box from Crutchfield and I couldn't believe the detailed instructions. Usually it's a drawing but this had real pictures of the VX dash and an arrow where every screw was. I put in a Panasonic unit and man it sounds better. I highly recommend Crutchfield if you're installing it yourself.

    The biggest problem I had was with the car alarm LED. That thing was tie-wrapped every 3 inches or something, and I eventually ended up cutting it.

    Anyway, my warning is that the harness that Crutchfield sends you (and probably all the universal Isuzu harnesses) do not have the ground wire attached to anything. The ground goes through the chassis.

    So, just plugging in the plug isn't enough. Don't panic when you plug it in to test it and it doesn't work. You must reinstall the radio into the dash to get it to work. (Or run your own ground line.)

    I had the same proble. I connected it and it wouldn't turn on. When I added the antenna it grounded and worked great. Had I not known about the grounding I may have sent the stereo back.
