[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1369585, member: 561023"] Well - the level of difficulty is rather vehicle-specific. Some rides have fairly easy to remove factory units and some involve a somewhat complicated process. One tip I'll give ya is if you are upgrading a factory stereo to an aftermarket unit and you'll be installing it yourself is use a factory-to-aftermarket wiring harness adapter. This matches wire-for-wire to your new stereo's wiring harness then plugs directly into the stereo harness already present behind your dash. These adapters are available at Best Buy, Circuit City, even Wal-Mart. Pricing ranges from $10~$20 dependant on your particular vehicle and IMO they are worth their weight in gold. Another possible help would be have a look through Crutchfield....for years they have supplied their MasterSheets manuals detailing (with pics) how to disassemble then reassemble your car with any audio gear purchase. Now they offer these vehicle-specific MasterSheets for purchase by themselves for like $5 or $6. For someone who knows more or less nothing about audio installation these might be a worthy investment as well. [/QUOTE]
