EVO RS Headunit, brackets?

Purchasing a headunit for my RS tomorrow. Do I need to get mounting brackets from the dealership, or are they already in the car somewhere?

Everything is already there except the wiring harness, which you can get from Best buy. You will also need the clip for the speakers...again, Best Buy stocks them.

When you put aftermarket 6.5"ers in there, you have to get a clip that converts the plug from the wiring harness to a positive & negative. I got mine at Best Buy, pretty sure they're just the ones for a regular lancer.

It's all there, you just need the little "harness" that takes the mitsubishi wires and clips them into your aftermarket stereo...same as any car. Then in the doors, it's wired for factory speakers (which you don't get) and you need a little (3" long) thing that clips into the factory harness in the door and makes it compatible to the + - on your new speakers.

Need a bracket for the radio and a wiring harness adapter. Also they probably going to clip the speaker wire end clips off located in the doors and splice in the new speakers to those wires. I went to GoodGuys and they did the job in about an hour. Only got the front speakers but they good so the soud is ok.
