Anyone know anything about car radios?

So I had this sweet DVD screen radio that was stolen. Anyway, I need to get a new radio. The wires of the old radio are still all there. If I get a new radio, can I just connect those old wires to the radio, or do I need to use that specific radio's wires? (It will be a different model and brand)

Are all car radio wires equal?

Sort of. The power, ground, speaker connections, lighting, and power antenna control should be basically similar. Crutchfield Link has a lot of good information about installing radios. Good luck.

Many places included installation in the cost of the unit if you buy one over $150/$200.
