Things To Consider For Car Stereo Installation

By Donna Turner


Many people after buying a car will decide to upgrade to an aftermarket audio system. The standard models fitted at the factory are not to every ones tastes and so the solution is car stereo installation. Many types of stereo are currently available on the market and after choosing the one that suits your needs there are a few points to consider.

Previously motorists were restricted to either listening to the radio stations available or maybe their own music on tapes. More up to date vehicle were fitted with CD players with the option of stacking unit fitted somewhere with multiple discs. In recent years there have been many advancements in audio technology and so there are now more options to choose from.

After deciding to upgrade your car stereo it is worth considering how the music will be played whilst on the move. The newer units are equipped with a USB port to enable a flash drive to be used doing away with the need for discs. Bluetooth technology is now also widely used to enable the sound to be streamed from a mobile phone or tablet device.

Many car stereos can be installed at home with very little work involved and in some cases in only a few minutes. Certain models will need specialist fittings, plugs or wiring to become compatible with the current set up but not in every case. A new sound system will be accompanied with all the required diagrams and directions to enable successful installation.

When fitting a new unit into a new or fairly modern vehicle it is good practice to seek the advice of an expert installer in San Antonio, TX. After extracting a model fitted by the manufacturer the space taken up by the replacement may need attention and new trim or surrounds will be needed. It is also worth entrusting the job to these professionals so as not to cause any damage to the electrical system or the new equipment.

A basic installation of a new stereo is not expensive with some high street auto stores charging around 50 dollars. If the job is more complex and other parts are required then this will be reflected in the cost. Many stores will offer free fitting if you buy the unit from them and this is usually the best option as all work will be guaranteed usually for a period of 12 months.

If you choose to order a new unit online it is worth noting that the work needed to fit it will have to be carried out by a third party and not the supplier. Also if deciding on one of the more complex multimedia systems with LED screens and huge amplifiers your fitting cost will increase significantly. Also with these more complicated installations the alterations that may have to be made could be permanent and cannot be changed back to the original state.

Some owners believe that by upgrading the sound system in a vehicle will increase its resale value but this is not always true. Second hand buyers will often seek out a car that is as near to factory specification as possible so bear this in mind when making big changes. It is also a good idea to notify the company that insures your car that these changes have been made.
