systems are easy to instal, as long as you can match up wires and follow where they come from and what not.... just make sure you bolt the new deck in so it dont get jacked[8D]

I 93 GT. I got tired of the cd player being so low... i couldnt see the screen well and the tranny would have to be out of park just to get the cd's in and out.. i saw a couple of guys in a magizne who took out the center heater grills in the midle of the dash and installd guages. it gave me the idea to relocate the cd player to that location. easy to see and get to, high up in the midle so when my lcd scree pops out to watch a dvd (WHILE NOT DRIVING OFCORSE) its high enough for everyone to see, even people behind me at a red light.. not many guys have done this though... and i never hear guys complaining about the terribl stock location for the radio

i get all my stereo installation stuff at wallmart. id just get those ford radio pullers from wallmart instead of nails cause there cheap anyway. each wire has what it is written on it from the wiring harness, and there should be a sticker on the cd player labeling what each wire is. just match them up, usualy the colors match too. you can get away without using a mounting kit cause the fit pretty nice. when i do it all always trim the wires alot shorter then they come so the cd player will fit all the way back, i didnt have to do that for my mustang but for my buick, my friends buick, friends crown vic, and friends escort i had to.
