so ive been considering getting an AVIC D3 headunit and i was wondering how hard would it

be for me to install this unit? I have no experience with car audio but i was wondering if

someone could tell me how hard this would be. Any advice towards different headunits/

installation pointers would be greatly appreciated

 

well first of all make sure you order the dash kit (preferbly Metra).....installation is pretty straight forward.... directions come w/ the kit for stereo removal, and installation is a matter of color matching wires on your harness, stripping wires, and crimping, plugging in your antenna, etc... the hole in your dash in the back will need to be modified so the unit will fit all the way in the back.

 

what kind of tool would i have to use to modify the whole in the back?

 

you use a dremel saw or other tool that would cut the plastic covering the metal support in the back and bend back the metal piece.....this allows you to push the unit all the way in without the multiple wires coming out of your unit preventing a proper mount....if you can wait a week i'll post install pictures for you because i have to pull out my double din anyways to add my GPS module thats coming in the mail...

 

id either wait for pics of have a shop do it...

 

oh im waiting for sure im just thinking about future mods and i dont want to get this one if its gonna be a shitty fit thanks for taking the time to put up pics!

 

yea no prob bro....it ain't a shitty fix and won't mess with your cars integrity......gimme like, 3-4 days, and if it isn't in by then i'll just do it for ***** and giggles
