    Change of stereo

    The first question to clarify is what type of hi-fi system your car has as standard. 6 speakers (the easiest to replace), 10 speakers, without DSP (can be replaced at home with a little expertise), with DSP, 10 speakers (the most difficult to replace/requires a lot of things to replace it).
