How do I install a new head unit (cd reciever) in my 1999 chevy tracker?

I have a 2 door chevy tracker, and I was interested in someone that can guide me on removing the factory stereo and putting a new one in. Does it matter what size the reciever is.

    size dont matter, at least as far as a cd player goes, sorry. youll need either one that fits, which wherever you buy head unit, should tell the size. theres a size for chrysler/gm vehicles. only so many cd players that I know of made for these vehicles, pioneer makes them, and jensen, i believe. otherwise, get a regular single din size, and an aftermarket mount. a wiring harness makes the job of wiring much simpler, and theyre relatively inexpensive, for the mount and wires and antenna adapter, youre talking thirty- fourty bucks. as far as taking the old stereo out, it shouldnt be much more than a few screws underneath the dash, and a few clips in sporadic places, if thats the case at all. sometimes, thers a trim ring around the head unit which pops right out, allowing access (much easier, btw) to the screws holding the gm head unit in place. DO NOT PRY THE CLIPS. use a screwdriver, or something of the sort as leverage for getting these clips out. trust me, you dont want them to break. youll also need an antenna adapter for the aftermarket cd player, as gm antennas do not fit directly. connect all the wires, color to color, and secure with butt connectors, or electrical tape. ive used electrical tape in every stereo setup ive evr done, no probs yet. after all is connected, pop the console back on, do not push clips in or screws in just yet, turn on the car, and make sure your cd player is operating. after that put the console back, set all presets, and hit the road. you can email me if you have more questions. copy the link below for crutchfield.com with stuff for that vehicle

    call a chevy broking with the vin form and ask them for the paint code. motor vehicle paint is extremely costly tho. i might propose going to someplace like stepped forward motor vehicle areas and getting duplicolor paint. that's a fraction of the cost of having the precise manufacturers paint. It wont be a acceptable tournament however the colors they have obtainable will tournament up nicely. I even have look it used on a GMC yukon and that i couldnt tell the kind.
