I don't want to pay Best Buy or Circuit City's installation fee and want to
install the CD receiver myself. How do I do it myself? I only have
experience building computers.

(I have a 93 Galant with 2 two inch DINs and Pioneer's DEH-P4600MP CD
receiver.)

TIA

Go buy a universal wiring harness for your vehicle, I've seen them at
Fry's but am sure u can get them elsewhere. You should have the wire
schematic for the DEH.

Failing to have such schematics these are standard wiring colors but
don't blame me if your car blows up:

Red - Power from ACCESSORY.
Yellow - Permanent +12v for memory.
Black - Ground (duh).
Blue - Antenna Turn-on.

And from there u should be able to deduce the rest of the wirings.

Must have volt/ohm meter.

U will have to take out a fair amount of panels from your dash.

Best of Luck Man.
