Post Number: 496 Registered: Oct-06 | Now that i finally got rid of my crown vic for my new Jeep, i can start putting in my system...I'm not very experienced with installs but i'd like to learn this time around by doing everything myself if possible... ...i'm looking at grabbing a Pioneer Premier 680mp HU in the near future and i'm wondering how difficult it really would be to un-install my JGC's current cd player, and install the pioneer HU... ...will i need to get any tools/accessories/wiring that DO NOT come with the pioneer HU?? Is it gonna involve taking apart the whole front dash in my jeep? or is it pretty basic??? like i said i'm a total newbie to this so feel free to give me even the most basic of info/tips...thanks! |
