JVC Car deck

[VaderX]

Hey guys,

I have an old mazda protege 2000 model and im looking to replace the current stereo (came with the car). I'm considering buying this JVC model (http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS10098264&catid=21981&logon=&langid=EN). Has anyone tried it? How is it? I'm looking for something that has an AUX in for my mp3 player and a decent radio under $100. How much is installing at bestbuy? Can i get it installed for $20?

Any input is appreciated.

The offer free installations, but you might have to pay for the harness, etc...

I had a JVC deck in my old car, it was rock solid. I will buy a JVC unit again...

do they have car specific harness or do the 'universal' ones like this one (http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=84552444327 9585&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=1408474396672459&bmUID=1222630236995&deptid=1408474396672395&ctgrid=1408474396672401&subctgrid=1408474396672459) work for all cars?

Also someone told me that I don't need a installation kit for mazda protege, is that true?

What else am I looking to purchase for the installation?

Thanks for the reply!

You do need a installation kit & harness, go to this site & pull down you're car model:

I installed an Alpine, purchased my dash kit & harness from Crutchfields Canada.
