Re: car radio

Well it is possible, but not fi di faint of heart! It is not ah job most women want to tackle. The ease of removal of the old, and installation of the new radio, depends on how the factory-installed radio was originally designed into the vehicle. The newer cars radios, unlike older designs have an all in one appliqué (front panel), which includes air condition controls and other things. It may require serious modification to the appliqué that you may not be fully equipped to handle. In addition if you mess up or don't know what you are doing the front panel could end up looking like crap and you wont have a nice looking blend of old and new hardware. You may also need to modify the wiring going to the back of the radio. You may need to go under the instrument panel, pull some trim panel, or tap into power and/or audio wiring.

Whe yuh radio panel look like? Is it a small front panel, just over the radio itself, separate from everything else?
