IqDOU?
have you yourself changed the original headunit with an aftermarket one? Did you use 4 nails? Lastly if you did was it a big pain to switch to aftermarket, or is it as easy as any other car? Thanks

I did...many times!! They are more difficult than most cars. A wiring diagram......
...for your car would help a lot.
Not certain on the 100's, but I think you will have to run an switched ignition power wire (or steal one from close by). I had trouble finding a good ground on my first one....so I always run my own ground!
The big problem comes with the speakers. The rear speakers are amped and the wires are very confusing. The amps are what make it hard!!
HTH!!

If you're just switching headunits...
They make wiring adapters that plug into the factory harness, so you don't have to mutilate everything to make it work. Also, the way to go is a radio removal tool. Quick, easy, simple, painless!
