^^ You may thank me ^^ Group: Admin Posts: 8,611 Member No.: 469 Joined: 3-October 05	First few steps HERE should help (right click and save as) Might pay to just mask up the sides as most can get a few scratches etc when removing the old headunit and aircon unit -------------------- Contacting me for parts

(highly reccomended) 4, Buying a break out loom from supercheap/rapeco etc makes the whole wiring/tracing thing soooooo much easier 5, Provision for futher expansion, Subs screens etc Nothing like getting part way through the job and needing to go buy that one something you overlooked, the men in blue look at you a little sideways when they see your car in a hundred bits and wiring hanging out. outside a shop or on the side of the road cough, erm, yes ocifer i was just.... um... er..... (not speaking from experience.....maybe) It might look like you are rapidly un-installing a stereo from the car for personal gain. lastly good luck, enjoy . -------------------- If a man speaks in the forest and isn't heard by a woman is he still wrong ?.

Ahaha that happened to me once, luckily Repco is on the same block as me so I just drove there through the backstreets,

And yes definitely mask up the console, mine is horribly scratched due to the shop that installed my gear not masking it up >.<
