I am about to get a Alpine receiver for my 1991 mr2 (this one Alpine CDE-102 CD receiver at Crutchfield.com)because my old boss reveiver eats my CDs and the lights are messed up. Anyways I have never put a receiver in a car and was wondering how hard it is to do bymyself or if I should have a professional install it.

And if i do do it bymyself what tools do I need besides a screw driver and soldering tool.
Also what do I need to take off on the dash to take out my old one. And how do I take it off?

old reciever looks like this(http://www.audioallies.com/images/Bo...o/AVA2695R.jpg

do i need a new part to hold the alpine in or should crutchfield give me one with it?

and do i need some kind of tray to put under the alpine?

Thanks for your time and help in advance!
