Default What do you need to get an aftermarket audio system?

Sometimes your original stereo is not quite up to scratch, and you want something to go way beyond. Sure, you Have your factory stereo, but often it is not enough or simply doesn't have all the features you need. Your stereo head unit is where all the music starts, so you need to make sure you are getting the best one you can find. Today you can easily upgrade your vehicle with an aftermarket car stereo that provides additional options such as HD radio reception, Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, iPod interface, while taking your sound quality up.

There are many different stereos available, and each one has different features to suit the way you listen to music. Some have screens so you can light up the interior with a stunning display in time with the music, some can easily tune into satellite radio, and others can tune into everything from your iPod to a USB flash drive. They are designed to fit most dashboards, and they are relatively easy to install as long as you are following the included instructions. Most of you probably thought that its difficult to replace the stereo and refused from this idea. We want to show that you were wrong and in reality it is really easy to do. Check out this video to see how easy factory unit can be replaced:

To install your new stereo, you’ll need a dash kit (DIN or double-DIN depending on your requirements). We have them in different shapes and materials to meet all your needs!

All you would need to do is call the SiriusXM sales weasel and buy a subscription - *if your car has the satellite module*! Pop the trunk and look at the underside of the deck lid. If there is a plastic box-like thing there, then all you need to so is buy the subscription. If it is not there, you would need to get the module/antenna installed to get it to work.

My car does not have the module installed, yet on the front of the radio there is a button for satellite radio. It just does not do anything when it is pressed. Now, my other car, does have the module and will actually pick up a few stations, even tho I do not have a subscription. Those are the "free" preview channels to get you sucked into calling them and spending money.

Hope this helped.
