What's good Automotive discussion? I just bought a new Radio for my car, specifically a sick Alpine Radio. But I don't know a good DIY site to install the radio itself. Help me out.
It's really not that hard as long as you have the chassis+harness for your car. From that point on you literally just match colors.
1. Get correct wiring harness.
2. Pop out old radio from dash.
3. (maybe) pull out old bracket and replace with bracket that came with new head unit.
4. Plug wiring harness together.
5. Push head unit into dash until it clicks into place.
That's basically it.
I got the radio, I got the harness and everything. I just need to know how to install it. Perhaps step by step?
What kind of car do you have? is it new or old? specific year would help
2001 Nissan Altima
If your car has a built in cd / cassette or whatever then you'll more than likely need to take that out and buy the new surround + harness. Best thing to do is ring the local in car entertainment or car audio shop and get a list of all the parts you'd need to order to do this, tell them to fuck their shit with their high prices then hang up and buy then considerably cheaper online.

If you read, you'd know that I have the harness and everything needed to install. I just need to know [b]HOW[/b] to install.
Rip out the old unit? Pop the plastic/screws off and pull it out. That's how you do it.
Here's some basic info.
