It will depend on what type of vehicle it is going into.

The easiest method of installing a HU is to use an adapter that will have you splice the stereo's wiring harness (included in the box) into an adapter harness that simply plugs into the factory harness found behind the dash in your vehicle assuming that it is still intact and not all cut up from a previous install. (these adapters normally run $12~$15 or so)

If you're installing a single-DIN HU into a double-DIN dash opening you will need an adapter to take up the excess space as well. (these adapters are generally in the neighborhood of $20 or so)

Other things can possibly become necessary depending on your particular installation.

Nice choice on a head unit, though. I'm a huge fan of the eXcelon gear myself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
http://www.crutchfield.com in my opinion, the best on-line retailer. The only thing you may need is the mounting kit designed for your dash
I agree, Crutchfield gives you all the necessary accessories (wiring harness, dash mount kit, installation instructions for your specific vehicle, antenna adapter, etc.) for FREE when you purchase a H/U.

Also FREE shipping and an authorized dealer if things go wrong with the unit.

Sure, you pay a little more but peace of mind is worth it.

Werd.
