Hi there,


I recently bought an aftermarket radio, and was wondering what the best way to install it was.  I believe there is an amp installed (behind the ford stock headunit), and I heard from a guy at circuit city that a wiring harness is 50 dollars to work with that amp.  What if I dont want the amp?  Anybody have any advise on installing an aftermarket?  It's an Alpine cda-9807.  Also, any literature on the web about installing headunits?  Thx.

Buy the harnesses to make everything work, it's worth the saved head aches of splicing wires together.

as long as the head unit have an amp in it then id just rip the ford amp out....thats what i did. and the harness shouldnt be that much. also try to find a car stereo place.....not circuit city and best buy.

i got my harness at best buy for $15 and everything works. Blew a couple of fuses and had to buy a mounting kit ($20 at best buy) but it looks clean and works great.
