KIT PREPARATION Attention! Due to how involving it is to disassemble the factory radio, it is highly advisable to read the steps beforehand to get a clear understanding of what is to be expected. It would be best if pictures are taken during the process, and all hardware tagged as the screws are a different size and shape. If the process seems too complex, it is best to seek a professional to perform the job.
