    The JBL unit requires the separate amp and harness that is mounted behind the rear seat.

    Would the wiring be there or would I have to do some wiring and is it worth the hassle?

    Wiring wont be there...JBL units have an external amplifier and subwoofer that uses all proprietary connectors. Even if you could get ahold of the pinouts, you'd need to get an amp and sub to get any sound (JBL "outs" are line level -- intended to run to an amplifier then to the speakers. Non-JBL outs are speaker level -- intended to run directly to the speakers)

    would be much easier to just go aftermarket for everything
