what is a wiring harness and do i need one?A wiring harness adapts a particular manufacturer's plug configuration on a piece of equipment (stereo, nav unit) to the automobile's own plug configuration.

You need one to match up your automobile to your stereo manufacturer. Otherwise, wires on either the equipment or the vehicle, or both, must be cut and spliced to install the stereo. Using a harness ensures that you can readily change to another piece of stereo equipment later, or replace the stock equipment.
