I just ordered an Alpine CDA-9886 and should be getting it soon. Are there any good writeups and/or pics of removing the old stereo? Also, I bought a used modifry harness already wired up. Any tips for that?

How long should I expect it to take roughly? I've done installs in the past several times.

 

here are a couple guides done pre-AP2 - if you do a search I believe
there's a thread documenting doing an AP2. I believe the only difference
is that it's preferable to remove the center console to make it easier to
remove the radio door without damage.
having done it a few times, on an AP1 I can probably do it in 15 minutes.

thanks!! a big help. What is ap1, pre-ap2, and ap2?

 

sorry, AP1 were cars up through 2003 model year, AP2 were the ones
thereafter. Here's some info if you're curious:

ok, thanks. I knew there 2004+ was different, just didn't know the AP1/2 terminology.
