    Most vehicles nowadays will be supplied with a stereo fitted at the factory. In modern cars most of these units will be an integral part of the dashboard. Many people however opt for car stereo installation to suit their own individual tastes. There are many models to choose from and there are a few things to consider before the buyer makes a decision.

    In the past audio in cars was limited to a radio and in some cases a cassette player. These units are now rarely used and most vehicles will be equipped with a radio combined with a compact disc player or multi change unit. This option is not for everyone and with modern day technology there are many variations in audio systems for cars.

    After deciding to upgrade your car stereo it is worth considering how the music will be played whilst on the move. The newer units are equipped with a USB port to enable a flash drive to be used doing away with the need for discs. Bluetooth technology is now also widely used to enable the sound to be streamed from a mobile phone or tablet device.

    Many car stereos can be installed at home with very little work involved and in some cases in only a few minutes. Certain models will need specialist fittings, plugs or wiring to become compatible with the current set up but not in every case. A new sound system will be accompanied with all the required diagrams and directions to enable successful installation.

    If you are fitting a new audio system into a more modern car it is advisable to have a professional undertake the work in San Antonio, TX. When removing a factory fitted model some modifications will be required after installing the new one such as fixing a new fascia plate. Also with the amount of technology in modern cars the wiring looms and fuse boxes can be very complicated and lack of knowledge could easily damage the circuits.

    Straightforward installations will cost from as little as 50 dollars rising according to the complexity of the work required. If other components are needed or modification to existing parts then this will be reflected in the price charged. A point worth considering is that most retailers will offer free fitting when a new unit it purchased from them and this gives peace of mind as all works will be covered by a warranty.

    If buying online be aware that the installation will have to be done by someone other than the supplier and this should be factored into the cost. Many custom car builders also choose to fit very complex audio systems which include video screens and multiple speakers. These can run into to thousands of dollars and it is worth bearing in mind that any changes made could be irreversible if the vehicle were to be sold.

    A lot of people assume that fitting a new system to their car will add value to it but this is not always the case. Many buyers when looking for a second hand vehicle will want a factory standard model so it is worth keeping the old equipment should it need to be put back. Also in many cases when making any changes your insurance company will need to be notified.
