what's the difference? i'm sure there are people who know what they are doing though. but you can always find a stereo shop that installs them for like $100 so good luck with that.

we had ours installed on the liberty at the shop where they sold them. that might/might not help you out. call around and see who else in your area sells that unit.

also, you can ask the shop for some phone numbers to speak with some of the previous customers. any good shop will have referrals (people who'd refer a friend there).

There is a place in Middlesex that dabbles with that stuff. They installed my CD player in the camaro. I would do business with them again. I forget their name since it was years ago, but they are right on Rt. 28 going through middlesex on the right if you are headed towards the high school and McDonalds from Bound Brook, a little pass DrugFair and the strip mall but before Wendys. They have some name like J & E or something. I am almost positive they would do it for you and for a decent price. And that is their specialty doing jobs like installing head units and electrical wiring and other accessories on cars.
