After more than 25 years of thinking installing a car stereo was impossible and unimaginable, this guy changed my mind in only 13 minutes!

Sometimes our limitations only exist in our mind.😮

Thanks!!

the worst part of installing is having to twist your body into unimaginable positions to screw things

I find it incredibly ironic that I looked up "how to install a head unit, " not even including a specific model of car and this video happens to feature my car. This should make my job a lot easier.

I haven't switched out a stereo since the late 80's or early 90's. I wasn't sure I'd be able to handle any of the new stuff, but it appears to not have changed all that much. I don't know if the rest of your videos have the same production values, but you did a remarkable job on this one. It was laid out in an intuitive manner and standard terminology used is great for us lay people. Thank you for the post and it did it's job. I am going to look to purchase from you guys.

Had no idea that you could rollback from a Double Din to a Single Din until this video, this will save me some money. I really need to replace my police cruiser's extremely simple AM/FM-only radio

Thanks for being really helpful. I'm about to try this out Saturday or Sunday and I'll post how it went.
I sincerely appreciate the non-condescending tone. Everything is new to everyone at some point and I'm glad I found a good resource like this.

First time attempting to replace a factory stereo. This is the only video I found with a very easy to follow step by step and an online store that is easily navigable.

excellent tutorial video, I'd like to add that once you've connected the wiring and slid the head unit back into place, it's a good idea to test it before fully installing all the dash trim, it's a bit easier to find out if there is a problem and correcting it then, rather than completing the install and find out then that there is an issue, it is rare with a new stereo install but it does happen...
especially test everything prior to completing the install if you're installing a used head unit or if you've later pulled out the head unit to make connections for an amp or other accessory, visually reinspect all your connections also to insure everything is still in good condition
