I doubt it will even take that long. Who ever had my car before me didnt install the deck properly when they stuck the OEM one back in, once I pull off the door, it just slides right out. It shouldnt take much more than 15-20 mins.

The fun will be ripping out the CD changer, flippin hate that thing.

 

The hour estimate was including the soldering of the wires onto the panel mount jack. Still on a difficulty level 1-10 i say it was a 2.

I love the sound quality and the ease of use. It acts just like the CD changer, the car has no idea it is not.

 

What happens when you "change the CD"?

 

Audio is interupted for a split second and then your music continues.

 

awesome DIY. thanks.

 

your welcome. I hope it helps people out!

 

Jordan, did you ever get yours installed?

 

Sorry to bump an old thread... but what is everyone buying nowadays to add the AUX to your AP1's? Apparently the PIE HON98-AUX unit is now discontinued. Just want a recommendation on a unit like this that works well; this PIE unit had such a good reputation, its a shame its not made anymore.

 

Dude thoes cup holder adaptors are baller status.. im going to have to go get some box liner now

 

See if there's anything mentioned in the electronics subforum. IIRC there are still several options out there. Have you checked with the usual suspects (Dice, PAC, USA Spec, Grom, etc)?

Others just replace the head unit.
