2001 F-150 Aftermarket Radio Installation
Hey everyone,
I just bought a 2001 F-150 and was wanting to put in an aftermarket radio. I was wondering if the conversion from the factory radio to an aftermarket is as easy as plugging in new plugs and then splicing some wires. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

If you haven't bought the radio and stuff yet, check out Crutchfield -- very helpful, knowledgeable, tech help for as long as you own the stuff. I've bought home and car stereo from them, always got the right help, and supplies that come with the radio. Pretty much just plug and install, but ask them. --- Crutchfield.com, or you can call them for help.

Alright, everything has came in so now it's time to do the install, but how do I install an American International dash kit? All of the other stereo installs that I have done never required a dash kit. Here is a link to the dash kit that I bought if that helps; Thanks in advance
