Good video, but IMPORTANT NOTE!!! not all vehicle wire harnesses are color coded. best way to do it is by using your owners manual from the radio and from the harness. they will each tell which wire goes to what. match up the wires based on what they send signal to (front right speaker to front right speaker, front left speaker to front left speaker, etc...)

Everybody installing this 2din or any other 2din, you have to get a 15v to 12v constant buck drop down converter. test the wires coming from your cars stock for voltage, watts, and amps for when you turn the key on, when you crank the starter, and when the engine is running, to get the feedback from the running alternator. The alternator puts out a higher voltage than the battery, this is to power your car and keep the battery charged. your cars stock radio may have this already installed in it. Your aftermarket radio may not, depending on what country of manufacture and types of vehicles it was originally modeled for. don't install this radio without researching this first. That pop you get in your subs when shutdown or start up of vehicle is the residual surge. If you have an amp it would be a good idea to add a regulator. this would ensure the life and quality of your system.
