Installing new pioneer headunit 2003 323 SP20

Hey guys, just got my new SP20 and was considering a new Pioneer FHX755BT headunit.

Wasn't sure if I should just pay a JBHIFI guy to do it for me (quoted 100bucks) or just try and do it myself. I've heard bad reviews from some JBHIFI's and I have no idea on what equipment I need and what to do though.

It seems like I need to purchase a harness and match wires. Can anyone help me out?

Also, I wasn't too sure about the bluetooth module that comes with the headunit either so it might be better to just get a professional to do it. That being said, 100$ is ridiculous.

its very simple to do yourself, jb hifi probly sells a harness for your car that way you just plug it in and dont have to cut wires.

just get the centre console apart might have to remove the bit over the handbrake then the piece around the gearstick the the climate control, take your time as the plastic has tabs everywhere and they break easy,


remove the headunit and slide the metal sleeve that came with the new one into its place, then push out the metal triangles so that the sleeve cant get back out

attatch the wire harness to the car

reassemble the centre console

attatch wire harness to radio and slide into the metal sleeve until you hear a click

check everything and away you go

the bluetooth thing is built into the headunit so dont worry about that
