I have a 2002 Impreza with a stock stereo. I just bought and received a new Pioneer deck. I forgot to get a wiring harness. Is it possible to wire it without a new wiring harness?

I know, I know...it would be easier with the wiring harness, but I want to bypass that if possible. Can I do it?
 
Simply get the harness from here http://www.metraonline.com

It's not only easier, but it makes it easier to put the original radio back in when you sell the car.
 
yes but you are going to have to find out which wire goes where and cut the factory harness plug and then crimp or solder all the wires together from the car to the stereo harness and eletrical tape or heat shrink them make sure there is no exposed wire unless you want your car to go BOOOM
 
there should be between 11 and 13 wires find the power wires first dont cut them u should have a batt a acc wire ground and a dimmer. cut 1 wire at a time speaker wires lesion to what speaker stops find the ground for that one and so on on go spend the 15 bucks and save your self a lot of time alot of new cars have airbags touch the wrong wire with a test light and pop goes your airbag
