Replacing JVC (KD-S5050) with JVC KD-R200 - simple?
I have a 2002 Mustang (no anti-theft warning system) that came to me
with the JVC KD-S5050 which works fine but it does NOT have AUX input (for my MP3 ZEN players). I ordered the newer JVC KD-R200 which has almost the same specs but comes with a front AUX input (also the CD player plays mp3 format which the S5050 does not). I read both online instruction manuals and the parts are virtually identical. The kit will come with two little thingies called "handles", which are long slim flat pieces of metal with holes on one end and a bend on the other - the picture shows how you take off the front faceplate, then the front trim, then slip these little "handles" in on either side and then just pull out the unit. I am hoping that all the wires (antannea and wiring harness) are long enough to come out partially with the existing JVC and then I can just unplug them from the existing radio and the plug them into the new R200 and replace the unit (again using these little "handles") and then replace the trim and the new frontplate and PRESTO, all should be well - I HOPE. The diagrams on both PDF files look exactly the same so that is what I am hoping. If anyone has any experience doing this, or if any ideas come to mind that I should know about - please advise. I haven't installed a car radio in over 40 years so maybe I am apt to do something stupid from forgetfulness or ignorance - don't hesitate to give me any pointers you might think about. Help. |
