You need :
1. Money
2. a set of removal keys ( can usually find at Walmart )
3. an adapter harness ( one for a late model Volkswagen usually works )
4. an antenna adapter ( see #3 )

NOTE: If the new unit has 2v preamp outs, you will need to wire in the speaker outputs to the amp.
( This is assuming you have the Infinity amp - NOT a base model Crossfire )

I seem to be the only one that is trying to help this first time poster.
Sarcasm is fine, but try to mix it in with some useful advise.
If you are offended by this post, I advise that you get over it. ( see how that works ? )

There's also a sticky with plenty of good info on aftermarket stereo installs here (https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...et-stereo.html), but seriously, take the time to wire all four channels from the head unit to the amp if you're comfortable with it, it makes a HUGE difference. Linky: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...-channels.html

Have to agree here.. just don't tell my wife or I'll have something else to do on the to do list for her roadster.

And as mentioned the sticky on the site for stereo install "has" all the answers you need. Study it, and then hit us up with questions. The 3 years I've been here the subject has come up many a time, and nothing has come up "new".

No offense taken, but how many times have you seen this question from a first time poster that has not bothered to use the search features?

I am not going to bother to answer such questions in the future.
There is also a near lack of the word please in these posts, so they become demands.

They are under the mistaken belief that people like their mother are on the forum.

MIATA, That is a brilliant link. It should be a "sticky link". When I finally decide to do mine, even w/ all that information, I'll probably come up w/ some stupid question.

Well once we've seen we don't have to spoon feed you.. we could most likely deal with questions like the dash kit..
