RX330 Aftermarket Stereo question
Hey guys, just purchased an 04 rx330 .
The stock head unit's cd changer is busted so I am thinking about putting in this unit.
http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130X650...4#overview-tab
Can someone let me know if this kit is all I would need to install the above head unit into my RX.

I also see this Spiral Installations kit.

Please correct me if I am wrong, but would any of the above kit be all that I would need to install the new head unit without any wire cutting or additional purchases? I am looking to keep everything else stock.
Thanks in advance guys!

So, I have a couple ideas... First off, is it only the fact that the cd changer is broken that you want the after market radio? I love the look of our radios in the RX and have seen some after market radio installs. It just doesn't look right. The only one I saw was full touch screen capable and used up that entire space. If you don't require CD's in your car, there are a couple options that you can install such as the GROM Audio kits or VAIStech kits.
If you truly want an after market radio, let me know as I have one that I am trying to get rid of. It is really nice and was installed in my previous car. I didn't have the heart to install it in the RX. It has CD/AUX/AM/FM/HD Radio capable and also, Bluetooth.
It is very similar to this one:
Amazon.com: Brand New Kenwood KDC-BT648U In-Dash CD/MP3/WMA/AAC Car Stereo Receiver with Built-in Bluetooth, Front USB and Auxiliary Inputs: Car Electronics
Let me know what you think.
