I would like to save the cash if I can, is it just worth it to take it to the shop?

I was lazy and took mine to Best Buy for installation it was about $80 !!!! big time rip off wish i had just done it myself. No way it could be more difficult then installing a cat-back exhaust or changing the rear diff. fluid

blflayler,

Call Crutchfield @ (800)955-3000 or check them online @ www.crutchfield.com. They should be able to tell you what you will need to install the head unit and speakers(wiring harness or speaker adapters). You could expect to pay $20-$30 for the head unit mounting kit and wiring harness along with the speaker wiring harness so you dont have to cut any factory wires at all. Then you only have to unplug the factory gear and plug in the aftermarket, wahla! Their install accessories come with a complete spec sheets on taking apart your dash and door/interior panels to get to the components so it's fool proof.

Anyone can install the basic audio components in their vehicle with Crutchfield's kits IMO and you would probably save close to $100 for an install of HU and a pair of speakers at a local shop. Not to mention the satisfaction of doing your own work and having some fun too:) Good-Luck!
