Introduction:
This is an autotoys.com installation. One of several
hundred by the staff of autotoys.com
This article is a sample of knowledge gained by working on real
cars for over 25 years.
Online for over 17+ years, when you buy a product from us,
we give you real support when you need it.
Instant access to answers through our customer forums. With thousands
of customers, avoid delays, errors and miscalculations in your
installation.. buy from autotoys.com - your outlet for car audio,
car alarms and auto accessories.
Products:
If you have an interest in any of the products
in this article, everything featured (electrical tape, connectors,
radio, alarm, wire ties, rca cables, diodes, screws --- everything is available 'now' (FOR SALE!) through our storefront).
Remember, there may be many manufacturers out there who sell similar
products as the ones featured in our articles, but if you want
a problem-free smooth professional install, your only guarantee is to buy the same parts we use (see our storefront).
Any slight difference in any of the parts and your install is
ruined (plus you won't have access to our post sale support or
forums). Especially important for alarm, radio and OEM changer
products.
Sales People (be careful!):
Everyday, we get dozens of requests through
our chat & ticket support system, request for forum passwords,
questions on installation problems or questions. We can only focus on questions from our customers. The questions are simple..
the answers are simple - but these people, because they did not
buy from AUTOTOYS.COM cannot get an answer. Dont make a mistake
by buying through auctions, fly by night operations or new pop
up websites who are just a voice over the phone (a sales person)
with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE.
No experience installing in cars, no experience what-so-ever!
They barely know the products they sell! Don't make that mistake!
Make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com. These articles are
proof we know what we are doing and that we WORK IN CARS! We work on the newest cars with
the newest products.
This install by autotoys.com is to show you HOW EASY it is to install a CAR RADIO when you make sure your purchase is from autotoys.com - We'll stand behind you, help you with your install and make sure you have everything you need. You only guarantee is if you make your purchase through autotoys.com
To show you how easy this install is: This install was accomplished by a family member of autotoys.com - He was 12 at the time this article was written and he has NO EXPERIENCE other than our guidance in installing a car radio.
Used is OUR AUTOTOYS.COM custom harnesses (see our dash kit department) and our FREE butt connectors (included with EVERY RADIO SALE). If a 12 year old can do it with our help, SO CAN YOU! [with our help! We have dedicated forums for you here]
We used a new PIONEER CDX MP 7400 in a BMW 3 series vehicle. If you want to buy it, look for it in our RADIO DEPARTMENT! Everything you see in this article is AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT DISCOUNT in our storefront. EVERYTHING!
