That stuff is normally left to car radio specialists.

Some won't touch them.

The specialists do.

Oh, as in someone with training? You made my point. You no longer go
to Smokey's CB shop up the road.

I am not sure what trick is necessary to install a car entertainment
system. Virtually any car made in this century is pre wired for it and
DIN mount systems just snap in. You will need the right adapter
harness to connect a 3d party system to the OEM harness but this
pretty easy stuff.
The "radio" (nav, mp3 player, cd/dvd or whatever) is a FRU. (Field

I doubt anyone actually fixes them these days, at least not as a
business. You don't see a TV repair shop in every strip mall these
days either.

So you'd not look at some of the new car systems have you.

You'd be right if I was still driving my '83 Old Cutlass.
