No way I’d put a junkyard stock stereo in as a replacement. Wiring a head unit is generally pretty easy. Wires are color coded and there aren’t that many. If you order from Crutchfield, you can get a wiring harness, directions, etc for very little. Cost is going to vary a lot. The thumping bass isn’t my thing, but if you want that you’ll need an amp too. I think if you intend to do a head unit, amp, and subs, you’re probably better off letting a pro install it. If you’re just doing a new head unit to start out, I’d DIY that. There are YouTube videos available that show head unit replacement on your specific vehicle, if you’d like to see exactly what you’d be getting into.
