About a week ago, I posted that I was going to take pictures during my head unit installation.
While I *was* going to do that, the installation was so easy I decided against it. Installation took less than 10 minutes.
Blaupunkt uses the exact same plug as our head unit. The only tools you'll need for installation are the removal tool ($4) and an antenna adapter ($20).
1) Disconnect the positive battery contact from yoru car battery
2) Pull the factory head unit with euro / oem din removal tools, available at Wal-Mart for $4
3) Pull both the big plug and the antenna connector out of the back of the OEM head unit
4) Insert the included mounting bracket into the cavity formerly housing your OEM head unit, pushing it all the way in until it can't go any farther. Then bend a few tabs, allowing the bracket to bite into the foam.
5) Plug the big plug into the Blaupunkt head unit. If you're using the stock speakers and amp and haven't added a subwoofer, you don't need to change the position of any wires.
6) Plug your Scosche VWA3B antenna adapter into your antenna line / head unit.
7) Run your auxiliary lines, if you need to.
8) Pushing the head unit into the bracket, reconnect your car battery, and enjoy!
I've ordered these accessories for my vehicle:

As soon as I connect my accessories, I'll upload a picture of this thing. The silver on the MP56 is a dead on match with the silver in our cabins and the 4096 colors allow me to perfectly match the LCD to the color of our instrument panel's green switches. I really couldn't be happier.
