Thanks for looking!

Ooooh... I know BillsBug was looking for a TS headunit a while back. Dunno if he found one, or if he went a different route. Bill?!?

Folks, the Turbo S headunit has the white backlighting on the LCD display... whereas your standard NB headunit has the blue backlighting. The white is kind of cool, if you've switched out all your other instruments so that they're all white.

Other than the white backlight, this is exactly the same as the standard headunit, and should be plug-and-play in all NBs that already have the Monsoon harness and amp.

I have a non-monsoon stock head unit in my 2000 glx.. Will this fit or do I need a new harness?

Thanks

It will not work without a whole lot of time and money.
You would need to add a Monsoon amp, and new harness, replace your drivers in the doors with subs, and add mid-ranges in your dash (or somewhere)... the last two I suppose are technically optional, but you wouldn't like the sound without 'em.
Given that Monsoon is OEM equipment... even on eBay you're probably talking a lot more money than it's worth. If you're going to spend that much, you might be happier going with an after-market stereo to begin with.
