      Yeah sadly alot of females who are into this kind of stuff go to a shop where they do car audio installing and get ripped off for such an easy job just takes time but places be charging couple hundred dollars extra when it's so simple my boy paid for subwoofer installment 400dollars when its actually really really easy and people off the street with knowledge only charge 50-150$ huge difference

      If you want a good quality cd player for car you need to buy either a Pioneer sony jvc or Kenwood because those brands have like the best quality cd players they lasted forever and they indeed WILL last longer than your cheap factory delco cd player and any other cheap aftermarket brand

    great video - best I have seen -
    a couple things -
    a) make sure your wiring harness comes with butt ends - you dont want to mess with electrical tape, especially if you live in an are with wildly different temperatures over different season (midwest)
    b) you need FOUR items to do this install ( not counting tools )
    1) the deck
    2) a wiring harness (with butt ends)
    3) the antenna adapter (SCOSCHE GM02BCB)
    4) mounting kit (Metra 99-3009)
    I was able to get all 4 of these items from Amazon for $60.

    It's been mentioned already in the comments, but for sake of importance people: please don't use wire nuts for car audio or any kind of automotive wiring.
    If you don't know how to solder, the easiest thing to do is use closed end caps. It's like wire nuts but they crimp on with a pair of pliers. They're a much more solid connection and you don't need electrical tape that will make a sticky stinky mess if you ever have to get back into it.
    Closed end caps can be purchased at any auto parts store. They are usually white and look kinda like those blue wire nuts you saw in the video.

  • @pockyclipse
    @pockyclipse 5 років тому +24

    I enjoyed your video! Though i must say, though not everyone can solder wires together, wire caps, or wire nuts, are a terrible idea for audio. When audio wiring it is important to ensure good connections, if you dont have them, you loose sound quality. A recommendation for those that cant solder is to atleast use heat shrink crimp connectors, this way there is a decent connection between the wires, and it will be waterproof incase you get moisture behind the dash.

I couldn't find wires and I had to disassemble my whole dash just to get to the radio!! But after trial and error I got everything in and it works like a charm. Can't wait to see what's next for your car and your next video, keep up the good work!!

    Here's something weird- not sure if it's it's my new Kenwood with the problem or not. After having the Kenwood 2 din installed for several mos, I then installed LED brake lights in my car on the left & right sides. After a while, I noticed my radio receptions was sometimes not as good as other times. THEN, I installed a LED in the 3rd brake light in the back window (the radio antenna is built into the rear window). Now, everytime I hit my brakes, I lose all radio reception. I never heard of this happening before and don't know what to do about it. Any insight to this mystery is appreciated.
