Hi,
sorry for my ingnoreance if I'm asking newbie questions, but I'm at loss. I bought a new Accent GL base model, and it has no radio in it. I'm quite handy in general, but I know nothing about car radios.
1. Is it true that all common car stereos are compatible with my car? It is impossible to find compatibilty information for 2011 Accent. Besides it is very suspicious that e.g. on BestBuy's website, if I say I have a 2010 Accent, it says that 95% of the stereos are not compatible with my vehicle. It is hard to believe.
2. If I buy a radio, it seems unlikely that I can just plug it into the harness that is in the car. I really don't want to cut wires, especially because there are no wiring diagrams available for this new model year. Is it possible to buy a converter? Which one should I get?
3. Do I need a dash kit and if yes, which one?
I really don't care about great music quality or volume. I just want to be able to listen to the news in the morning, and yes, sometimes music, but the car definitely wouldn't be my #1 music listening place.
Thanks,
