Installation Description

This is my first install, as this is my first car. The whole installation was done at home, with the help of a few people. The only problem I had was getting the headunit to align straight, but after many times of re-aligning it is perfect. I have a Sirius Satellite Radio on the way, so hopefully eveything goes smooth with that.
