I Think the main point is, could I have done better buying somewhere else. Short Answer "NO".
That being said, Car stereo replacement is not for the average joe, so Technical problems are to be expected when you are unexperienced. And the issues I had were with the instructions and accessories for the stereo, Not the master sheet. The Master Sheet was very helpful for getting the Unit out with out tearing anything up.
My issues were minor, But I will lay them out.
-The mounting brackets were plastic
- The mounting brackets called for using the screws that came with the head unit, they were pan head which didnt work real well on plastic
- I thought I could select a display color but its either white or varying colors
- I thought the wiring harness I paid for eliminated soldering wires, While that was not true, it did however make it where I could do my soldering at my work bench instead of in the car, and I didnt have to cut my factory harness out.
All those things are small and pesky, But I am a details kind of guy.
- The biggest problem was a wiring issue that was not clear in any of the instructions, I was left to assume that many of the wires in the harness were not used, and there was a dangling blue wire from the antenna that was not clearly addressed.
I figured it out with a google search, and Crutchfield probably would have helped if I had reached out.
In any case, Its installed, Works great and my wife is happy.
Thanks Crutchfield
