Anyone here ever do a radio install? I'm wondering if I should pay to have it done or do it myself. How difficult is it? Is it literally take out old put in new or is there more to it? I already took out the radio from my old car, planning to have it put into my other car I have. I'll have to take out the car radio
If I do look for a shop to do it for me what's a reasonable price to pay?
As far as I know all you have to do is get a conversion harness from your factory loom to the new radio
Oh nice of course because the system is rigged. Of course it's not a simple swap great now I have to pay somebody money to do this. Fuck this gay earth
Getting your old unit out will probably be the hardest part. You'll want to pick up a wiring harness for your car, and a box full of butt connectors. Then just match up the wire colors, strip a bit, connect, and put the new unit in. ezpz.
If you're putting amps in mounting them can be a cunt
that's not what OP is doing tho. he's just changing the head unit. he doesn't have to worry about amps or subs or new speakers.
its literally plug and play.
i did it on my mercedes and the hardest part was JAMMING THAT FUCKING NEW FUCKING SHITRADIO down the radio-hole. was a real pain in the ass.
Then what's all this bullshit about wrong harness I see everywhere?
Wire harness fucking phone
i dont know, my car is really old and my radio was new, but there was an adapter with the cario i bought so it was no big deal
