No adapters that are discontinued AFAIK. Just wire it up one by one. There's usually instructions that come with the headunit, and you can find wiring diagrams searching online for what the car's wires are.

Or take it to a radio place and they'll install it for you for like $100.

I'm sure if you look around ebay and such you can find one. If I recall, you need an additional 'ding' box or something for aftermarket radios? its been a long time...
but ya, what Ion said ^

Isn't that year dependent? I thought that only 2001- needed that.
