A Beginners Guide To Fitting A Car Stereo With A Fascia Adaptor

The advantages of fitting a car stereo system

 Car modifications can improve your cars performance and aesthetics. One of the most common minor modifications made on cars is fitting a new car stereo, which is relatively affordable and easy.

 Buying a new car stereo and/or speaker system allows you to improve the sound quality in your car. Car radios are generally easy to fit at home. Fitting your own car stereo is easily done if you use the right tools and components, and you will not alter the look of your car if you use a
 Fascia adaptor.

 Car stereo systems offer extra functions which your existing radio may not have. Choosing to add a CD player, Bluetooth handsfree function or iPod or MP3 connectivity are common reasons why many choose to upgrade their car radio.

 Why fit your own car radio?

 Replacing a car stereo might seem difficult but it isnt if you are prepared and understand what you are doing. You will not only save a huge amount of money by carrying out the work yourself, but you know that you will be doing a quality job. Horror stories of botched car audio jobs are rife, so more and more people are turning to carrying out the work themselves. By using the correct finishing touches such as a fascia panel you can create a carefully constructed neat look in your car; something a stranger in a modification business might not care so much about.

 No matter how tempting it may be, do not begin attempting to remove the old stereo system before you have a full understanding of what to do, tailored to your model of car.

 Advice

 No matter how much advice you seek, always read the instructions. And check that you will not be voiding your cars manufacturers guarantee by modifying the stereo, if it isnt already expired or voided. Purchase all of the tools and accessories you require beforehand; it makes sense to buy a stereo kitting fit for your car maker, particularly if you have never fitted a car stereo before.

 A fascia adaptor will keep your cars dashboards existing appearance for a neat look. A harness adaptor will prevent you from having to cut any wiring and extraction keys allow you to remove a stereo without any damage to the dash. Some cars may require more than these components, so buy a car stereo fitting kit which is suited to your make of car.

 A fitting kit should contain all of the components you require for your car, and are likely to include a Fascia adaptor, harness adaptor, antenna adaptor, and radio extractor keys, although the required components vary greatly and this is why a kit is useful. Only once you have all of these components, and the relevant tools, should you start removing your car stereo.

 It will help you to seek the advice for your particular make and model of car from car audio experts. They will be able to give you tips which are specific to your new stereo and car model.
