You dont need one. The stock radio is din and so is your pioneer.

Most likely a standard two into one harness sold anywhere. You need to pull your old set up out first.

The Crutchfield unit is a POS. It took me some time to hunt the correct harnesses down for my 96' GT too, but here is what you need.

1.Stock amp intergration harness direct fit for the 94' to 99' 460 head units.
http://cgi.ebay.com/FORD-86-00-HARN...in_0?hash=item518a73fd9c&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

2. If your new head unit does not have 2 sets of amp pre outs then you will need to go to wall mart and buy a schoche hi/low level converter to get the rear (or fronts) sounding right. I think it's like 20 bucks or something but if your head unit has 2 pre-outs your all set with no OEM harness cutting, or hacking.

The kits on Crutchfield are made by Metra, and Ford ran the same harness for multiple cars, for multiple years. I dont know how splicing in wires, and plugging in a plug can be a "POS"?
