Default how to replace Bose system RSX

i was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this. i want to replace the radio in my car, from Bose to a Kenwood DVD monitor, and i have gone to different people and have heard different things(have to rewire the car, can get an adapter kit that is easy to install, etc...) i was wonding what you guys have heared about it or if any one has had it done and how much of a pain it is. Thanks

I took the factory headunit/cd changer out of my buddy's RSX-S and we replaced it with a Premier 990 cd player and a VAFC2 (2 din, you know). We accomplished this by taking the bezel and bracket from a base RSX and using that as the housing for the CD player and VAFC. The wiring for an aftermarket CD player is the same in the Type-S as it is in every other car: you just have to take the entire Type-S headunit out and replace it with a base model's trim before you can make it work.

They sell the cd player to car harnesses at any audio store, so go get one, get the bezel and bracket(s) from a base RSX and make your music happen .
