Some words of wisdom from a now veteran Xtrons installer:

Be sure to order and install the radio antenna at the time of install when you have the whole interior torn apart

If you don’t do the antenna during the initial install ( be sure to do it then )if you run it down the drivers side it will be closer to the radio in the trunk where you will be attaching it to the factory antenna. It isn’t long enough to run all the way down the side to the trunk so see the pictures posted and run it under the back seat along the battery cable. There is no interference along the cable so you won’t get feedback.

Run a coax cable as a preemptive addition for that amp you’ll ultimately be installing along with the new subwoofer.

Get the external mic and install. Did I mention the factory mic sucks?

So with those words of wisdom, go forth and conquer your old HU with a new Android HU!
