Getting a 2003 Saturn Vue on Monday should I try to install the deck myself?
 
we are getting another car a 2003 Saturn Vue on Monday or Tuesday should I try to install the deck myself or pay futureshop to do it? I Installed it myself on my 97 Dodge Caravan but not the best.

Does anyone know if I would or might have any troubles installing it?

Also would any of yous know how much Futureshop would charge me total after harness and ant plug and cage and install?

yes, if you can get the factory radio out, it should be easy from there. Just make sure you buy the right wire harness and dash kit

Just get a Metra dash kit, follow the instructions included with the kit.
Don't get a wire harness, you wond need one, you'll see why when you get the radio out.
Also, you won't need an antenna adapter.

FutureShop will charge you in around $100-250 (parts and labour) depending on the deck your putting in.

If you can read instructions, you shouldn't have any problems.

You'll see when you get the stock deck out.
The deck you're putting in doesnt matter.

You could use any kit you get your hands on, I just like the instructions in the metra kits.


There is no need to buy an antenna adapter
