CD Player Installation?
I recently found a great deal on a CD player for my car and I’m strongly considering buying it. It comes with a free installation kit and I’d like to install it on my own. I’ve installed a home theater system before and as a computer engineering major I’ve become fairly comfortable with electronics, but something scares me about installing a car CD player because I don’t want to break anything. In general, is it really that difficult to install a CD player in a car and are there many risks involved? I already have a CD player in my car if that helps…
It is easy to do – don’t let it scare you. Just be sure to have the mounting kit and the wiring harness. The mounting kit will be specific to your car and will allow it to fit in the dash with a finished look. You can get these at your local Wal-Mart for around $15. The wiring harness is the most important. You buy one specific to your car for around $12 again at your local WalMart. Once you connect the color-coded wires (and tape with electrical tape) to your new CD player color-coded wires, it literally just becomes a matter of plugging in the connector to your car connector.
If your installation kit has these two components – your golden.
