what year is your car? if its 05 you dont need the expensive harness to retain your warning chimes. 06+ you do need the expensive harness/module to retain your warning chimes because its played through the speakers in 06+. either one will work with the factory sub, either harness still sends the signals to the factory amp and it all works as it should.

if your going to have someone else install the deck i would go see them to start with. not all stereo shops will install stuff you bring in, and they often do deals when you buy from them and have them installed.

Mine is an 06

https://www.crutchfield.com/car/solu...&mode=ShopPath


There's the 2 install kits crutchfield suggests buying... both are the same but one includes the steering wheel controls adapter

But if you scroll down it shows what features each kit retains and both say "Subwoofer not supported by install package"

There's a local place that does car stereo installations but they're pretty pricey but pretty sure they do good work....

If I was to take my car to a place to get it a double-din touchscreen receiver installed and wires to the amp/sub and everything how much should installation cost? Or how much would the average price be?

Another issue lol....

Was driving today with the AC on it was working fine.... I didn't turn it off and then I shut the car off.... started the car back up and it wasn't blowing

Turned the AC off then back on, still nothing...

Could it just be a blown fuse or is it something bigger?

I was letting my mom try my car out and she stalled it at a stop sign. The AC had been blowing cold up until that point. After restarting the car it will only blow hot air. Its the weirdest thing.
