Does anyone have instructional pics on how to install the TC head unit .ANy help Would be greatly Appreciated.

 

replacing it with the same type of radio?

 

no, I am replacing it with the Alpine head unit.

 

What youre asking for isn't clear... but I can say you should probably just take it somewhere and get it done. Better to spend $100 to get it done right than fry something that cost twice as much and leave you still without the new unit installed.

?? Sorry for the double post... not sure how that happened.

 

I have done a couple head unit installs. Even in my current car (18 years old) it was easy. Everything and I mean EVERYHTING is color coded. Just get the mounting bracket for the tC (It has been out for a year I would think SOMEONE would make one) and the wiring harness. In many cases you do not even have to cut any wires. Just connect the wiring harness to the OEM plug and plug the HU into the wiring harness and viola! Stuff it all in there and you are done. Usually the hardest part is ripping apart your console. But most Jap cars just pull apart with some force.

Anyway, hope this helps.

 

if you need to mess with the wires (its very very easy) that is if you cant find an aftermarket harness (since the car is so new) then heres something that might help.
