So i just got in the mail today my headunit i purchased off the internet. Its the Alpine 9827 and it looks awesome in person. I can't wait to install this badboy so I don't have to burn crappy CDs anymore and just dump all my songs on a few CDs now.

Now I have searched thru the forums for a "How-To" or DIY installing a headunit but came up negative. Is it hard to install? Are there any instructions or guides into what panels to remove and in step by step order or something? I'm sick of the stock headunit! Someone please help!

it's not that hard. make sure you get a DCI too so that you retain your dash controls.

I'm looking on the GoFastLabs website right now and looking at the DCI module but theres also the s2000 Harness adapter. What is the purpose of that? Do I need it?? Any input is appreciated!

well, you connect the Alpine radio adapter to the s2000 harness adaptor so that you can plug the headunit to the s2000's factory harness without splicing wires. basically....


Headunit--->alpine radio adaptor--->S2000 harness adaptor---->factory harness
