How to Install a JVC CD Player in Your Car
JVC makes a wide range of consumer audio and video equipment for your car or truck. The CD players available are separated into two categories: single and double-DIN stereo units. The single-DIN sizing (2" x 7") is most commonly used in cars and trucks that have single-disc CD players as well as MP3 units. Besides some common tools found around the home, all you will need to install a JVC CD player is a wiring harness adapter and the kit itself.
