I'm doing the install myself with the included wiring harness from Crutchfield. I've already removed the Shaker 1000 in preparation for putting the new one in this evening.

Is there anything I should be warned about/aware of before attempting this ordeal? (Be advised that I hate dealing with electronics in cars)

I ended up with this system and the free ipod adapter it came with.


Edit: One thing I just thought of for instance is the autodimming...where would I look to get that to function properly or is that sort of thing covered in the Crutchfield directions?

 

Okay, two problems with the install.

1: The autodimming doesn't work. I used the autodim lead from the metra harness and it doesn't do a damn thing.

2: I get a pop everytime I turn the stereo on. I've had someone suggest better separating the power/ignition lead from the rest of the wiring bundle.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
