Help installing new CD player

ForMembersOnly · 03-14-2005, 10:05 AM

I'm going to be installing a new head unit (Clarion ProAudio DXZ655MP) as soon as it arrives. I was wondering if somebody could walk me through uninstalling the current head unit (it's an AM/FM/Cassette stereo, stock) and then installing the new one. Also, I'm going to be getting some subs and an amp a couple weeks after this, would it be smart just to install them all at the same time, or would it not make a difference? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

im not familiar with your model year, but once you get the new unit ready to go in you should run your rca cables and the remote turn on wires for the amp. then you don't have to remove the headunit again once you get your subs.

YEAH you listened your getting clarion!! WOO WOO!!! congratulations!!! I think you should have a proffessional install everything so you wont blow any fuses or have any problems/ I got my deck with the filler plate and everything for 50 bucks and my subs and amp done for 75, and I have the assurance that it was installed the right way and I wont have any problems in the future...

This is the link to the cd player I'm getting: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3487.html

and these are the subs/amp: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_3522.html

In the reciept they gave me for the CD player, it says this: Vehicle comments: No Installation Kit Needed (Please use Factory Brackets to Mount Head Unit). Harness may not be compatible with Ford Premium / JBL / Blaupunkt / Amplified factory systems. Separate harnesses for integration may be available at an additional charge.

What does this mean?
