Here is a guide, which would help you to install a new radio or CD player in your car and save you some money as you don’t have to find a technician to do the work for you. The important thing to keep in mind when you buy a new stereo is to make sure that it fits properly in the space where you had your old one. The wiring harness should also be specific to the make and model and the newly purchased stereo of your car. You can get some screwdrivers, wire strippers and cutters and an electric tape ready for the installation.

But before you start the installation, you would first have to get rid of your old stereo. So, you can get going by disconnecting the negative cable from the battery. The dash panel covering your stereo should then be removed. When you unscrew your old head unit, you will either see a bunch of individual wires or a single plug with lots of wires. It is advisable to detach one wire at a time, if you find a bunch of single wire to avoid confusion. Plugging the connector into the new wiring harness will mean that you don’t have to connect the wiring manually.

The new stereo can now be slid into the mounting bracket that came along with it. You should then plug the harness connector to the back of your stereo. The antenna from the old stereo should be plugged into the new unit. You should also ensure that the power antenna is also connected to it. You can then reconnect the negative cable to the battery. You can then power up your new system to find out that everything is working smoothly.
