I like this guy makes everything sound easy. top guy.

Scotty you forgot to mention to disconnect the negative battery first before doing any wiring installation on your car LOL. I know some people who actually fried their new stereo but not disconnecting the battery first LOL

[scottykilmer]

pretty good cars, I've road tested them and had fun, customers have liked them

I remember a time before they sold installation kits... Those are life savers these days

Good video showing how easy this is. When I swapped my radio, I found a wiring harness adapter on Ebay for $10. Well worth it to save me matching and crimping wires!

[scottykilmer]

oh, you've been watching closely. The airbags are long gone anyway, the radio works fine with 3 of four screws in, been that way since purchased.

Ya seriously....the guy films tips & stuff on cars that he is fixing at the time & is good enough to post it for people to see. He doesn't just grab any old car so he can make a video of the day.

[scottykilmer]

you can solder them, but on low power like radio wires I just use those little connector ends that screw the wires together, all hardware stores sell em.

[scottykilmer]

you'd have to trace em all to be safe. But find the power and ground wires first, normally red, yellow, and black, test them using a volt meter. The speaker wires go in pairs next to each other, so when you find one speaker wire, it's pair is next to it.

[scottykilmer]

very carefully, even I break em on occassion. Most are held in by snaps that are hard to unsnap without snapping the plastic off on the edges.

lol I just put in the exact same radio 3 weeks ago.. really good radio. I would recommend upgrading speakers too.. (if you still have your stock speakers) don't wanna blow a speaker!

This is hilarious. Energy and editing are on point!!

[lloyd]

Thanks. I see you really do try to respond to your community, including me. Hope Scotty Kilmer brand continues to grow!

Replaced an old Chrysler head unit with a $79 Alpine one just today. The first thing I remembered was this video even after watching it last May. First radio I ever replaced. :D

[Chuckwagon]

I always got the factory adapter plug to make the radio wiring fit into the automaker's plug. Made wiring easy as you could join wires outside the car. Then just plug it in and test it.

I just installed a touchscreen DVD player stereo that cost me $65. Definitely worth upgrading in older cars.

Hey scotty, I put in a $20 dual stereo from Walmart and when I turn the volume up over 10, it starts to sound all staticy and just sounds bad. But if its 10 or below it sounds fine. So i plugged my old stereo back in and it sounded fine. Is it the speakers in my car that could be causing it.
