Once you get the old one out you can get a wiring adapter to plug into the car harness than conect that to the aftermarket stereo harness. Once done plug it together then mount it in, then if it is single DIN use a mazda dash pocket to fill the gap..

Works a treat.

Holden don't make one for a single din. (as far as I know) If you can find one by all means put it in, but I used the mazda one as it is what I have found on other threads and I couldn't find a holden one that could do the job..

Yeah I was going to say get the pocked from ebay too.

Mine wasnt hard to put it, just rip out the holden one thats in there, put the brackets for the new one in, plug it all in, push it into the brackets, then slip the pocket under it. We didnt have any problems.
