do it yourself it's petty simple all you have to do is

1. prise out the pastic trim from around the radio

2.unsrcew the bolts that holds radio cage to the car

3. unsrcew bolt that hold the radio to the cage

4. pull radio out gently

5. unplug wires from the back of the radio

6. the old radio is out

note that you will prob need a new wiring loop for the radio
putting the new radio in shouldn't need explaing really

either go to best buy or cardomain.com and get the plug adn radio trim piece. all you have to do is connect the wires that have the same colors to each other ( green to green, yellow to yellow, white w/ black stripe to white w/ black stripe, etc) its a VERY easy mod. just take your time. after you have done it once you will be able to do it again in about half the time. it takes me a total of 10 minutes to change the radio on my lanos.
