Hiya
Im getting a new cd player next week and the cd player im buying doesn't come with free fitting. I was just wondering if anyone knows any sites that explains how to install a cd player becuase i don't really want to pay/wait for a person to come out and install it.
Thanks

i dont know of any sites that will show u but its easy enough mate. buy stereo keys from somewhere like Halfords if you dont have them allready. use them to pull the old stereo out so u have access to behind it. disconnect the aerial and the multi-plug sockets from the back of the unit. the stereo should now come out. then prise out the 'cage' that is in there, u might need to bend it a bit. put the new cage in and bend the teeth up using a screwdriver. this is to stop the cage moving round. there will probably be a piece of metal that screws into the back off your new cd player in the middle. plug the multi-plug in to the new cd players wiring loom then into the back of the cd player. plug the aerial in. push the cd player into the hole, recommend taking the front of the cd player if it has a anti-theft face to avoid damaging it (this might take a bit of wiggling around to get the screwed in piece of metal into the supporting hole at the back of the dash) u should be able to get your hands round the back of the dash in the passenger footwell to help guide it in. the head unit should eventually 'click' into place. then put the plastic surround on the front that hides the cage. job done. sorry if this doesnt help but its hard to describe in writing with no pictures! good luck
