When you go to your audio store they should be able to tell you which kit you need.

Does your camaro have the original adapter?

If not just slice into the wires. When installing a car stereo the main wires are the remote and power wires. Everything else is just ground and speaker wires.

it looks like it is the original plu. the wires dont look like they have been messed with at all. the guy i got it from had some fancy $600 head unit in it that i really didnt want so when he took it out i guess he took his adapter with him

You will need a mounting kit (brackets and face plate), a wiring harness adapter, and an antenna adapter. All are available at most auto parts stores and even Wal-Mart.

The Monsoon FAQ sticky at the top of this section also has some suggested part numbers for brackets and adapters.
