It's easy. I've installed stereos in every car I have owned. That's like 10 different cars. Go to someplace like Circuit City or Best Buy, get an in-dash CD player, and an installation kit specific to your car from Scoche or someone like them. They make

No More Cutouts: Where Do Aftermarket Stereos Go?

17.12.11

The other option for shoppers with complicated dashboard layouts is to use one of the latest types of setups to enter the market. Systems like Sony's DigitalLink have the guts hidden underneath seats, wired behind the dash and use a mountable cradle that fits an iPhone or iPod Touch. Drivers then use the iPhone to control the music. It's not cheap though, starting at $399 before installation. A typical aftermarket head unit costs less than $200.

The transition to these new devices and new cars equipped with better systems from the factory have scraped away at sales for the aftermarket stereo industry, whose halcyon days — the mid-1980s, Sony mobile director Mike Kahn estimates — are long behind. Industry consultancy IHS iSuppli projects stereo head-unit sales, which are now valued around $500 million, will fall to $365 million by 2017.

Still, Kahn says the vast majority of cars on the road today "can still be addressed by traditional aftermarket head [unit] swapping." Down the road, as even used cars start to lack stereo cutouts, that will change.
