Has anyone installed a aftermarket cd player in a 07 f150...if so was it hard to do and how did u do it? thanks

 

I did, took about 15 minutes to a half hour. SUPER EASY. Remove the trim piece from the dash( Pulls right off)Just pull the old Head unit out( 4 screws), Mount the Install kit(depending on the kit you may have to get longer mounting screws. Just take the OEM screws from the radio to Home Depot and find longer versions). Match up the wires from the new radio to the harness adapter and crimp( DO NOT USE SCREW TYPE WIRE NUTS). Mount the radio's sleeve in to the mounting kit( just has tabs that you bend to lock the sleeve to the mounting kit). Slide the radio in, connect the harness adapter to the factory harness, and then connect the antenna adapter to the radio and then to the factory antenna. Replace the dash trim panel and your done. Parts needed: Vehicle specific install kit, wiring harness adapter, antenna adapter, wire caps(Crimp-kind). Tools needed: socket set, Pliers(incase you have to mess with the dash trim piece's retaining clips) slotted screw driver( To bend the radio sleeve tabs) wire stripper/crimper.

 

Zombie's right, super easy if you get a good install kit & wire harness adapter. Best Buy & Circuit City have free installation if you buy a radio from them but you'll feel better when you break out a few tools & get er done yourself.

 

x3!! Freakin' easy. I didn't install an aftermarket cd player but I did install my iPOD hookup in my truck and it only took me 10 minutes.

 

if I were you, I would solder the connections, mostly because you can have the whole mess sitting on your bench, and it is easy to get to, then you can just go to the truck and plug it in, and you never have to worry about connections coming loose.
