stereo fitting

[Husky11]

Hi, just wondering how hard it is to fit a new Stereo into my 2004 forester going for a double din is it just a matter of a couple of plugs plus wiring harness as Halfords charge £30 to fit l'd rather do it myself to save money then i've got more to spend on Stereo & maybe speakers, any advice appreciated thanks:)

I got an auto electrician to do mine....the whole centre console needs taking out mate, so wouldn't trust halfrauds with it fella.

I had my single din replaced like for like and Bluetooth mic installed for £35. Greasy job he did too, but wouldn't have fancied it myself, having watched him do it.

Hope that helps, if only to not use the afore mentioned motor factor

I found it easy enough in both cars depends how confident you are I guess :)

Should be easy enough, and I believe you can just get a harness to change from double din to din, did it in my own car.

Thanks for reply's i might have a go as i can get the plastic surround of easy enough so i'll have a look at the plugs on the Stereo as long as i dont need to cut wires i should b ok that could be famous last words better keep the kids out the way as there might b a few choice words:) :)
