Help
so since my build died im just gunna ask questions on here.
i checked to see if there were any FAQ's on this but i didnt find anything.
im trying to install my double din dvd headunit but its just not fitting snug.
i see alot of piks of the finished product on everybodys cars but no piks of it step by step.
theres too many wires back there its overwhelming.
is there a way i can rewire everything so they're not so cluttered?
ill post some piks in a bit, i also wanted to know if theres a way to make the audio/power/volume **** work for any aftermarket setup?
i really want to try, no luck on wiring my alpine amp, too complicated so if anyone in nj/ny can help id appreciate it.
-thanks everyone

i see 200 harnesses! which should i get ?

This is the problem I ran into....the wiring harness you get depends on your stock head unit. I have a nakamichi unit, and I bought the recommended wiring harness from Crutchfield... It did not work, and completely screwed my self install.
So afterwards I took everything to CircuitCity....they gave me the wiring harness, installed the deck, and only charged $34....I kid you not.
Circuit City is great for audio installation. You do not have to purchase the stuff there, they will simply install it all for $45, they dropped the price for me because it took nearly two hours to figure out why it didn't work, and the issue was my Crutchfield Harness. They had a new working harness for my car in store in stock, and when it was finished the dropped the price down to $34....
I really don't think that's much money at all considering there expertise. That's $17 an hour....
I did bring the Metra Dash Kit as well so I can't say if they have that in stock. Either way it seems like you need help doing this, and even if your dash is gutted right now, they will hook it up correctly, then you can just reassemble it yourself.
Seriously man call Circuit City, get a quote over the phone...you'll be surprised.
