My cousin has a 98 sentra and she asked if i can install the new radio in it. I did it on both of my cars. But not being a honda think its the same installation? As long as i get the new radio with the radio harness i should be okay because all there is is the harness plug and the antenna plug. am i correct or wrong? Any help is appreciated! I couldnt find it anywhere online so figured I would post on here

wtf. TST crashed on me with my last post.

The install should be straight forward. I cannot find any pics od the actual dashboard with google, let me try on cardomain. wtf nothing on there either.

Ok, so the worst part will probably be taking everything apart to get the radio out. as long as you know how to wire the harness up properly, you should be fine.

Im familiar with wiring the harness but in some cases arent some of them already wired to where its pretty much just plug and play?

I know at Pepboys we have a plug in play setup. This means you get a the adapter that plugs into your car harness, and then the other side plugs directly into the radio. No splicing or anything.

X2 Just get the wiring harness from your local auto parts store and have at it. If I remember correctly you have to take out the ash tray to get to one of the screws. Another is hidden behind a little panel at the top, its easy to locate because its got a little slot for a flat head screw driver to pop it off.
