Default So how hard is it to install a custom stereo in these cars?

Hey guys, I am buying a 2010 tC at the end of the month, currently just waiting for the dealership to recieve my order. Right away I am planning on replacing the headunit with a Pioneer AVIC X-920BT. Id like to install it myself, but am unsure of if I would be able to do it. Is it hard on these cars?

not hard at all; they make custom wiring kits for our cars through sonicelectronix.com or crutchfield or hifisoundconnection.com; and stereos aren't bad. check out the interior section on here of the 'post up your system' for tc's. there's some crazy ones out there that vary from tc to tc

EDIT:

sometimes if you buy a CD player from crutchfield, they send you a free install kit. the wire harness and the in dash adapter.

^^you may have to call and ask him. like he said most places through in the brackets and wiring harnesses with the headunits. when i bought both of my head units they came with the brackets, wiring, and the one came with end pieces for the d3 to close up the gaps on each side
