    I'm trying to install a new deck in my car and at first instead of buying a wiring harness I decided to "ghetto" it and trying wire it by luck. I've decided against this and now I can't get my clock to work due to most likely not connecting some wires right. Also my odometer keeps starting back up at 0. Any suggestions?

    Without know what wires you disconnected or what you re-connected poorly there would be really no way to troubleshoot it out. You best best is to pay someone to fix it.

    Big mistake.

    My friend did that to his moms 2005 Tiberon and it took me 2-3 hours to figure it all out, and I still couldn'y get the stock sub to work.

    My $0.02 just spend the extra 5 or 10 bucks on a wiring kit just makes things so easy and simple.

    But you live and you learn.
