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!!

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.

that's not what ironic means. Ironic would be if you researched tons of videos specifically looking for your model car, and you found every model except yours. That would be ironic. Pretty much the opposite of what happened to you.

What a solid video. Excellent editing, excellent examples, excellent explanation, smooth demonstrator. 5/5 Subscribed. I'll be installing my first car radio and this is the first video I have found to help me with the process. Nice job!

Hearing clicks that work perfectly just feels so good lol idk why

Thanks for the compliments, we are doing our best to educate the car audio community. Glad to know we are on the right track. :)

Thankyou, your 7 years video still helping people until now

This video is super professional and you understand everything, watched it three times cus i'm installing a pioneer unit into my explorer and trying to learn everything, and you've made it by far the easiest out of everyone else on youtube. Thanks!

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.

We appreciate the great feedback, that was exactly what we wanted to do. Thanks for letting us know we did a good job. :)

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

Excellent install video. Very clear and concise and makes the viewer feel capable to preform the swap. Again excellent job with this video, I will definitely be a subscriber to your channel.

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.

Great video, btw! You explained how to do everything clearly and concisely. Made it look so easy. Really learned a lot watching your video. Thanks so much! :)

Excellent thorough explanation.

Works for us, we are happy you even watched some of it. :)

I've been wanting to learn about car stereo installation but thought it was to complicated. All the wires frightened me. This video explains it all. Thanks bro for the helpful info. I love KZread. I learn something every day.

Great video. Concise and comprehensive. Was a huge help for my install. Thank you.

Excellent presenter, awesome speaker, clear voice, professional feel, look and presentation. entire presentation / DYI experience made easy by how talking while doing and explaining what is being done. very nice job (could be a professional actor?)

I watched a few of these, and this guy does the best job of explaining everything of all the ones I saw. Great video.

Super professional and helpful instructor. I'd hire this dude in a heartbeat if I owned a business. Very helpful/informative video, too. Should be all I need to get my new stereo in today.

Excellent video! I installed an aftermarket stereo for the 1st time. This video helped me out tremendously

Great vid! Very detailed and just what a novice like me needs. Thanks!

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.

i gotta say, i’ve been in autobody and repair apprenticeship for the past now 4 years, you explained this better than any instructor i’ve ever had! lmao

A wire harness allows you to keep your factory wiring plug in case you want to put your stock radio back in. The wire harness that you get with the new radio is designed to wire up to a special wire harness adapter that connects to the factory plug in your car. No splicing and figuring out wires necessary.

This guy is a really good presenter!

That is because he has limited thoughts about anything else about the car mechanics. Really concentrated effort. It works well for him.

I am a complete novice. This video was complete. They didn't try to sell be something before showing the next step That is a huge plus. Thanks again guys.

Well done. I got my after market stereo from Sonic electronix and like the guy said, Everything you could ever need was included. Amazing video!

Excellent tutorial, guys. Very helpful and great for saving money. But I actually have a question regarding your installation kits for the single DIN. I noticed you don't have any for Mazdas. Does that mean I can't install a single DIN stereo to my 2007 Mazda 6? Or would Mazda simply fall under the Ford category since they're built under the same design? Thanks for sharing this awesome tutorial!

That's it? You made it look so easy! I can't wait to try this on mine ❤️ thank you so much!

Grate Video! I still use CDs for my car because mine has a DSP and I don't really want to change the way the interior look. My friend asked me to install her aftermarket car stereo and this provideda lot of good information. I have done oem stereo swaps in the past but this video helped me understand the wiring part. Thank you.

Well done, car stereo installation has come a LONG way since the 70's !!!!!

Great video. Thanks for sharing man. But I am in a dilemma, here in Singapore I notice none of the mechanics disconnect the battery before working on the audio system of the car. Whenever i asked them why, they simply mentioned that there is "no need" for that. What is your opinion on this ??

I have recently bought and purchased a Sony XAV 68-BT from you guys, and I installed it in my 2005 Mazda 3 and it looks great and sounds great. I just have one problem. When I turn my car off with my lights on, the beep beep doesn't go off anymore. I am wondering how do I fix this??

Awesome, :D We are really happy that you enjoyed the video. We love it when people can do their own work.

this really very simple .. the person in the video is very clever and very talented , he gave a very simple and clear explanation.. but i have questions ... what is the best kind of cars stereos that i might buy ? and does all car has the same size of stereos ?

Nice video. The guy has the typical car salesman look and tone. haha

Seriously, this is a great video. I'm considering buying a double din 7" screen head unit and I was thinking of installing it myself. The wiring harness that comes with the unit looked daunting, but now it doesn't seem so bad after watching this. I have a 2003 Hyundai Tiburon base model.

This video is great, thank you so much - you made me confident enough that I could do this myself. Just ordered a radio kit from you guys. Thanks again!

May I know the Model# of that JVC you're installing do you still have that in stocks... I want the one where there's a GPS and Back Up Camera

OH WOW HE DOESN'T! :O

This was the most detailed yet succinct tutorial I have seen yet.

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

Do all OEM radios have the orange/white wire so the LCD screen dims when I turn my headlights on? What if my OEM wire harness doesn't have the wire that will dim my LCD screen? I really want my screen to dim at night so the screen isn't so bright but I'm scared my stock factory radio (which is just like the one removed in this video) won't have that wire.

Graciel leal after some research, I think the harness adapter that you buy separately (specifically for your car) has the dimming wire and then you connect it to the dimming wire on the harness that comes with the double din. So it should dim

What brand/model was that single din head unit at 10:43? Never seen a single din with a screen that big.

Wtf?... It's merely a ground.

what you did there was called hardwireing its wrong on that car just use a pc2-17-4 then you go from the factory harness to iso. when you buy and after market radio it comes with iso to the plug that is specific the model stereo that way there's no cutting wiring it just plugs straight in!

Thanks , by following the steps you put forth... it would be pretty hard to screw up... thank you.

Thank you for this video! Clear and concise instructions are very helpful.

probably the best explanation and demo of a aftermarket radio install

Wow thank you so much, I've been Intimidated on doing this since I might mess something up, but this looks extremely easy. Thanks !

Wow very impressive, English is not my first language and I was able to understand every single step.

I appreciate your delivery of install, awesome speaking skills sir.

This is a very helpful video. It takes the mystery out of installing a radio. If I have problems, I will not hesitate to call the number given during the video. Good job!

wow you explained it very well:) Thank you for putting this video.

Great video, helps a lot. Thank you very much!

Top notch video bro. First video I saw and all I needed. Installed my first stereo, flawlessly thanks to you. Definitely suscribed and liked. Thanks again

Lots of good information , I live overseas....don't have the luxury of matching harnesses ...so I took it to a pro... he had it working 10 minutes but for some reason didn't connect rear speakers... I'm going to have to try and go it myself. Got an oil change and stereo install was basically free.. so I can't complain.

This is actually straight forward. Anyone can do this. I took my car to a local stereo company for a new head unit with apple car play, etc and they want $900 including the installation. Screw that!

Very good step by step video, keep up the good work, and thanks, now all I have to do is "just do it", thanks also for the on time shipment of my BOSS unit.

I’m not a car guy but he’s convinced me I’m capable

Only video that made me want to to install my stereo and I did and it worked 💯 thanks bro best video out here. - 2005 350z
