I have done the install for the new cable in '97 GLX.  The installation of
the new cable took me about two hours and aside from the daunting number
of parts I had to remove, it was not a big deal.  I ran mine the opposite
direction from the factory cable, along the passenger side.  It was much
easier to get the cable through the dashboard going to the passenger side,
with the glove box out (four screws) you can reach up behind the head unit
and route the cable, then I just ran mine behind the glove box, down to
the door moulding and under the moulding with all the other wires.  If you
need specific help, let me know.  Also I too bought my changer at Best Buy
for $99, and it works great.

I know that I for one would love to learn how to disable the damn tune
alarm... thanks.

Don't feel jipped, none of us got these things, I believe.

Good Luck and enjoy
