YACT: Sigh.. never knew car stereos were this complicated.

Got really really sick of radio and decided to buy an MP3/CD player for my car, since I don't have one. Well I read around and picked this

Well online it costs around $200, but at stores it's $279. But most stores include installation, so it looked like a good deal.

I go to circuit city, and try it out. Well to my disappointment, it doesn't have manual seek on radio, which is essential to me. So this stereo is out. Now I don't know what to do.

I looked into installing the stereo myself, but looks very complicated.

Any recommendations?

 
If you have a wiring harness and about an hour, apparently it's not that difficult.

Thing is, oftentimes a wiring harness will cost you about $35-45, which is about the same as most places charge to install a HU anyway.
 
A wireing harness should cost you 10 bucks, then find out from the CD players manual what each wire does, then match it up to the correct wire on the harness. Take out old stereo, unplug it from the wireing harness, then plug the new wireing harness that you just bought into the plug. That's it! 😀
