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 shows one of our many OEM compatible PLUG in changers.
We use the "BEST" changers, the "BEST" digital converters. ALL proven to work.
We always have everything in stock and we know what works because we install them EVERYDAY.
We also work very closely with all of the converter manufacturers. Our prices are the best, our knowledge/service is second to none. If you need a "PLUG IN" cd changer for your factory radio, AUTOTOYS.COM has it!

| 4 Self tapping 1/2 inch screws |
In our tools department under screws. Although not needed. It made installation a lot easier. About 5 minutes total and no need for pilot holes.

| Foam tape | In
our tools department. We used our foam tape to surround our converter and also the wires to make sure they don't separate from vibration and also to make sure they don't make any noise when the wires are tucked back in the panels (from bumps) |
