Just bought this new, to me, truck and didn't know how to pull the doors apart without breaking things, and this guide helped with that. It also told me what tools I needed. Living in an apartment, it's inconvenient to walk back and forth from the parking lot to my door to bring the correct tools.

It was exactly what I needed to get the job done. The pictures and instructions were very clear. It definitely saved me money - not having someone else do the job for me.
Pros: It describes the task very clearly, and the pictures make it that much more easy to understand.
Cons: Had to print it out myself.

Very General instructions
Lawrence Cha from Sacramento, CA on 4/15/2025
2017 Lexus IS350
The instructions were not vehicle-specific. They do not address the rear door tweeters or the 3 1/2" rear deck speakers. There are no pinouts for these, and I'm not sure of the accuracy of pinouts for any of the other speakers, as the harnesses are different for navigation-equipped vehicles, as well as, Martin Logan 12-speaker cars. I clearly noted my car was a Martin Logan vehicle when I ordered these instructions. I have a 3IS 2017 Lexus IS 350 F sport AWD with Nav and Martin Logan. For the money paid, they could at least supply the pinouts for the rear door tweeters as well as the 3 1/2" rear coaxials.
Pros: BASIC REMOVAL, OF WHICH IS AVAILABLE ELSEWHERE ON LEXUS FORUMS
Cons: Not for Martin Logan!!!

Helpful, but could have a bit more info
Marcus from Portland, OR on 3/12/2025
2011 Hyundai Santa Fe
I am trying to decide what components to purchase and thought this document might help with selecting the right items, mainly the speakers, but I'm a little disappointed the factory items that appear in the photos do not have accompanying dimensions. I know I want a Double - DIN receiver and it's pretty obvious what is there from the document, but the center, front door, rear door, trunk subwoofer and tail door speakers all are photo's but dimensions not listed. I just wanted to know the sizes I'd be replacing when making purchase decisions.

I'm not sure if the website enabled more information after the purchase or if it was always there, but that info is better than the document. On the document the pictures are small and in overly contrasty black and white. Information I was expecting is missing. If the website did enable additional content, I need a way to make that information transferable. I have not verified that yet.

Jose Byron from Arcadia, CA on 1/28/2025
2007 Saab 9-3
I must say I couldn't find anything wrong with the instructions, as much as I tried. Granted, I am not a professional installer but I believe now I learned enough about the system to attempt almost any installation. I wanted to take a star off due to the initial remark of "you cannot replace the receiver in this car or lose the safety alarms" because after 40 years of hearing that, one thinks if anyone could come up with a solution to that it would be Crutchfield. But nothing yet. In any event, I know enough now to try and improve the system in a massive way.
Pros: Pictures! I'm a visual person.
Cons: No recommended workarounds and I took the listing to mean there was going to be an additional document.

Only helpful for replacing speakers.
Rick from Palmdale, CA on 1/21/2025
2023 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
The instructions are helpful when replacing the front and rear speakers. That's about it. I wish it included instructions on how to wire a powered subwoofer and/or amp. i.e. suggestions on locations, how to run the power wire from the battery to the rear of the car, how to run the accessory wire and places you can splice into, how to access the rear speaker wires under the panel that is between the front and rear door, etc. I bought this for replacing the stock speakers and it will help with that, but I'm still on my own when I hook up the powered subwoofer.
Pros: Helps with replacing stock speakers
Cons: Not helpful when installing an amp or powered subwoofer

Generic instructions
Arthur from Mcallen, TX on 8/31/2024

The instructions are pretty basic, I was hoping something more detail.
Pros: Covers all aspects of the radio and speaker removal.
Cons: Much too basic, the A pillar has a clip that is unable to be removed. It doesn't explain on how to pinch or finesse the clip out of the pillar without breaking the A pillar plastic. The instructions assume you know how to remove it. Very dissatisfied!

Mustang Mach E disassembly instructions
Arthur from Madison, WI on 7/9/2024
2023 Ford Mustang Mach-E
These instructions are so very detailed down to the exact tools to use, wiring diagrams, method of removal for each individual part and actual pictures of the step by step procedure. I originally bought this guide to give to a professional installer in case they'd never installed in a Mach E before but after seeing the instructions I decided I could do it myself. Crutchfield saved me $450 in labor fees and made it a snap for me to do it myself! Awesome product and expert advise.
Pros: Saved me $450!

Not what I was hoping for...
Norman from San Diego, CA on 4/18/2024
2015 Toyota Tacoma
The radio shown is not what is in my vehicle. It shows door trim panels with hand crank windows which are not even offered. In order to get to the speakers, one needs to know how to remove the switches for the electric windows from the armrests in the door trim panel. I was also expecting more detail about the radio install. The small panel under the radio where the hazard light button and clock are located in the instruction photo does not match my truck either. There is no clock in my 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road in that location. The clock is a function in the radio head unit. Consequently, my confidence in the instructions is reduced.
Pros: Wire connection info is useful.
Cons: Does not match what the interior or radio of my 2015 Toyota Tacoma TRD O/R

This is the holy grail and instructions to properly remove and work on your Subaru Outback. This is a must have. There are notes and suggestions to keep you from damaging any parts while removing. I highly recommend this to anyone work8ng on their Subaru Outback!!!
Pros: Crutchfeild has gone through the process of professionally removing parts and panels the correct way with out any damage and ensuring they will go back the way they were originally installed. This was the absolute best purchase yet. Worth more than they they charge. Just make sure to print ?? it at Staples or FedEx because it will require 2 rounds of ink cartridges to print on a home printer.

Annoyed that this has to be mailed??
Jason from Vancouver, WA on 2/20/2024
2011 Ford Escape
I bought this guide while in a pinch trying to troubleshoot a friend's installation project. I assumed that, because it is 2024, I would have instant access to a .pdf of this manual e-mailed to me. It seems that my assumption was incorrect, however, as no link was emailed or provided to me. Looks like Crutchfield is actually mailing this guide to me? So this did not help me troubleshoot anything, and by the time it arrives it will be useless. We got the issue figured out on our own, so this was nothing more than money wasted. Crutchfield - if I am incorrect and I DID have access to a .pdf version of this at the time of purchase, I will revise this review, but advise that you need to make the access instructions much more clear. Everything I have ever purchased from you has been great, so this experience was definitely disappointing and unusual.
Pros: I'm sure the instructions are great.
Cons: They were not available when I needed them.

Worth every penny
William from Brownington, VT on 2/1/2024
2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Bought the instructions for a Silverado, and I can't begin to explain how helpful these audio instruction sets are. Full color pictures of each panel and screw that has to come off. Well written (and SHORT) instructions that don't leave you feeling like you're trying to pull out the necessary details. Wiring color codes, and different sub-model breakdowns (if there is a difference). If you want to work on your own audio system, I feel like these instructions are an absolute necessity.
Pros: Cheap, well written, full color pictures
Cons: None

Great product and worth the money to buy outright while just planning my car audio build. Color codes for the wiring were not accurate to the 2023 Kona with the "Primium" audio system. Pin locations were correct. Overall it helped a lot with figuring out the what I needed to do.

Super informative it told me exactly what to do for every speaker. The only thing was the radio tuner for a 10th gen. Honda Civic coupe. Other than that it was fantastic and the amount of detail and instruction.
Pros: It was like a children's picture book. It showed instructions in the form of pictures. Which was real great.
Cons: They did not know where exactly the radio tuner was in the 10th gen Honda Civic si. Sams location as the sedan but further back towards the trunk of the car.

I needed to know what color wires were the positive & negative rear door speaker wires (to tap into for a sub). The data sheet was perfect. It saved me from having to remove the rear door panels to look at the wires going to the speakers; Easily saving me an hour or two on my install. Well worth the cost. I may replace my door speakers later on and this instruction sheet will be helpful for that as well.

The installation instructions seem to be a good guideline to practically make it a plug and play when it comes to swapping out your old unit for an up to date unit. I bought the instructions first to get an idea of any difficulties that may arise. I'm satisfied that the unit will be an easy fit. Now I must decide on which unit and features I want. When deciding, so far I haven't come up with a "con", seems to be all "pros".

Valentin from San Francisco, CA on 10/18/2023

I recently embarked on a journey to enhance the audio experience in my car, and the addition of a spare tire subwoofer was a game-changer. What made this upgrade possible was the comprehensive and user-friendly car instructions provided for installing the spare tire subwoofer in the spare tire region. In this review, I'd like to share my experience and highlight how these instructions played a crucial role in the successful installation. The first thing that struck me was the clarity of the instructions. They were thoughtfully designed to guide even a novice through the process. Each step was outlined with precision, making it easy to understand the tasks involved. From the initial tools needed to the final checks and tests, the instructions covered it all. One of the most impressive aspects of these car instructions was the inclusion of detailed illustrations. The step-by-step visual aids made it even easier to comprehend the installation process. This was especially beneficial when it came to navigating the spare tire region, which can be a tricky space in many cars. The clear images ensured I knew exactly where to place the subwoofer, where to secure it, and how to connect all the necessary wires. Additionally, the instructions provided useful tips and recommendations to enhance the installation process. They addressed common challenges and suggested practical solutions. These tips came in handy, as I encountered a few minor obstacles that were promptl
Pros:
Cons: Only has a select few instructions

Vehicle Specific Instructions not quite specific
Darrell from Tucson, AZ on 7/11/2023
2023 Honda Accord Hybrid
I am thankful for Crutchfield to create tear-down instructions for my newly purchased 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Sport. After a huge internet search, I was unable to otherwise find data on a car so new. Of course, the local audio shops also do not know. This will be the first time I have tried to modify a car stereo system, so I am truly a beginner. However, the instructions are for a different level of Honda Accord with a different radio/head unit (not a Hybrid Sport, as requested by me), so I am still not sure whether there is a separate amplifier in my car, or whether "cross-over" occurs automatically in the radio/head unit. As a result, I am still uncertain of exactly what equipment to purchase and install. As I get more committed to this, I am sure I will be calling Crutchfield (as they suggest) to get even more information. Thank you Crutchfield (so far).
Pros: Great tear-down instructions and wiring information
Cons: Not quite my model specifics

Not worth 10 cents let alone this much
Derek from Long Beach, CA on 3/19/2023
2021 Toyota Corolla
Waste of $. Doesn't tell you anything important as far as installing a complete audio system. Basic information provided such as, how to remove the front and rear speakers and head unit as well as the color code for the speaker wires. How about including how to get through the firewall from the engine bay to the interior of the car for an amplifier and/or powered subwoofer? How to tap into the fuse box to get an accessory powered fuse for a dash cam or amplifier turn on? I was hoping for expert advise from someone that has actually worked on the car. I think most people with the car would be able to figure out how to remove the speakers by themselves. The head unit removal might be little more useful if you need to replace it.
Pros: If you only want to know how to remove your head unit and speakers and nothing more useful then this is for you.
Cons: No in depth information on the wiring of the vehicle, how to get constant power and accessory power for amplifiers, powered subwoofers, or dash cam installations. No info on how to deal with factory amplifiers and doesn't even cover all the speakers if you have the JBL audio system.

Every time I buy a new car, the first thing I do I go to Crutchfield and get the master sheet for my new car. I change everything, the head unit, speakers and amps, and subs. I do it all DIY. This is the place to go if you have any questions.

Michael from Auburn, WA on 7/2/2022

Overall it's a great tool and helps tremendously. My only issue is when you first sign up and pay for the instructions, you don't get the instructions right away. It took a day to receive them, which doesn't help you at the time when you needed it the most. Now after you have paid and got your first set of instructions, maybe the next time you need or order them, you can get it right away. I don't know, I haven't tried it yet.
Pros: Tells you exactly how to take anything off that needs to come off.
Cons: You don't get your first copy for almost 24hrs after paying.

Unfortunately Disappointed
M from Glendale, AZ on 6/27/2022
2014 Chevrolet Equinox
This version of information and pictures are for the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox is for a "Base" model. For those of us that have the more luxurious model, the "LTZ", the Crutchfield support crew have it all wrong with this. They need to update the photos for the other models that have something entirely different. I am very disappointed. I followed Crutchfield since the mid 80's when I was stationed in California and participated in the car stereo competitions that they hosted and sponsored.
Pros: None at all. Nice attempt though, but no credit.
Cons: only provides information for a base model and does not reflect differences for the LTZ models

Useful if updated
Dustin from College Park, MD on 2/7/2022
2019 Volkswagen Tiguan
The guide is useful, but not great. The images are taken with an old camera at a low resolution, it looks like something from 15 years ago- It's impossible to see details on the disassembled doors, or other fine details. It would be nice to be able to view a large scale image to look at specific areas in the car. Also0- the contrast is poor so darker details are entirely hidden. Also, I entered my car's details and the instructions did not match my models' specifications. The pictures were for a premium audio package that only ~10% of my car model have installed. Finally, There is no mention of impedance or pin locations or anything like that to figure out what is needed to install an aftermarket amplifier within the existing system. These instructions would have been awesome if it did what was promised, but these instructions do not contain enough photo detail and were not comprehensive of standard factory audio packages.
Pros: Provides photos of door disassembly and connector locations.
Cons: Does not provide enough visual or written detail. Only covers information for a specific audio package offered on this model of car.

Evan from Rocklin, CA on 12/27/2021
2005 Scion xB
Pretty disappointed in the amount of information given. Didn't say the sizes of my speakers, only had a few pictures, and had super basic instructions such as "remove the panel" and "secure speaker". I'd want to know where the plastic tabs on the trim are and how to safely disengage them so that we don't break them. I didn't need to be told to unscrew the screws obviously connected to the speaker. The things it says are easily found for free elsewhere
Pros: Has good pictures
Cons: Doesn't identify what's most important

Very Helpful for DIY
Crutchfield customer from Revere, MA on 12/23/2021
2013 Cadillac CTS
These cheat sheets are great. Idk any other dealers that share as much accurate research on this many makes and models. Alot of the stuff covered is stuff most veterans would know or be able to figure out anyways. But I like how it shows you in detail the best and least destructive way to disassemble trim panels to get at the speakers etc. Another helpful part of my particular file was how they had the wiring harness color codes which made my speaker level DSP tap in go that much smoother
Pros: Very useful information. Totally worth the $10. And even better that it's free when you buy almost anything specific to your vehicle
Cons: NA

Underwhelemed with the lack of info
Roy from Hayden, ID on 12/21/2021
2011 Volkswagen Routan
After watching the video of what a master sheet was, I had figured it would tell me all the specs of the radio and speakers like size of each speaker location. Overall, for the price, I was underwhelmed but this info does help in removing the factory radio but that's about it, no specs or sizes of good replacement speakers, maybe it's my own ignorance talking but I'd rather have spent twice the price and got a product and had the sheet included instead.
Pros: Does tell you how to remove your factory radio but that's out it.
Cons: Doesn't have as much Info as I would have liked

I received the Mastersheet in a timely manner. I purchased this product for my 2002 Lincoln LS V6 . It discussed the installation of a new radio, speakers in the front doors, and speakers in the rear doors. What made me disappointed is the fact that there was no mention of the two speakers in the front console. That was the major reason that I purchased the Mastersheet in the first place!

Specific Instructions? What instructions?
Toby from Evergreen, CO on 9/20/2021
Do you guys not like 2000 Chevy Silverados? I received zero specific instructions for installing my aftermarket Boss stereo and integrated backup camera. How hard would it be to provide just a basic electrical schematic with the unit that also explains there are multiple ways to wire the backup camera? Without being aware of this fact trying to sort out the wiring is mind numbing. For a company that brags about "Specific Instructions" well, there weren't any. The poor customer service girl had to manually draw up diagrams and email them to me so I could sort out all the various options for wiring. Your"wiring guide"is not a schematic, and was basically useless. If I wasn't competent at wiring, having restored and installed numerous entire auto wiring harnesses, this would have been a disaster. You need to up your game and provide actual "specific Instructions" if you're going to make the claim. And FWIW, Boss was just as bad, with zero installation instructions. Theyfall back to "hire a professional", which is just being lazy and not acceptable.

JD from TampaBay Fl. on 9/12/2021
2006 Subaru Baja
The speakers sound great mids are very good as well as bass using a Pioneer head unit. The only reason I am giving this a 4 is because tech support was good with the wire colors of my Subaru, the colors were hard to determine which was the positive lead. The kit was to include the specific instructions which were not sent to me and the harness plug did not match the factory plug so I had to splice it and the speaker hole was a bit too big because the factory utilizes a spacer. Crutchfield failed with that observation so if you buy for a 2006 Baja Subaru beware you may have to do what I did to make this work correctly and fit properly.
Pros: It was worth the hassle because it sounds awesome and the price is competitive with other retailers
Cons: Making it fit and splicing the wires

Underwhelming
Marwood from Los Angeles, CA on 6/2/2021
2006 Volkswagen Jetta
I have to echo the review down below. This is an incredibly underwhelming product, so much so that I assumed that the PDF document I received after purchase was just the highlights and that a more in-depth document would be shipped. Not so. The document you receive is incredibly basic and focuses only on removal, nothing about installation. It is apparently designed for someone with no access to the internet because a Google search of videos, YouTube and otherwise, will give you everything you need to know, in detail, about removal and installation in pretty much any car, including tips and tricks and the nuances of your car. I was looking for exactly that, in printed form, and was willing to shell out this much for it. My mistake. Really, save your money and do a little research on the internet.
Pros: None, really
Cons: Expensive for what you get.

Maxima Rear Deck Speaker Access
Crutchfield customer from Eagan, MN on 4/29/2021
2009 Nissan Maxima
I hate to give such a low rating for anything at Crutchfield because you're so good at what you do. However, I was led down a very time consuming and frustrating road in order to remove my rear deck speakers in my Maxima. I took a picture of my car after removing the entire rear interior out of my car and posted it in my Maxima group on Facebook. I was laughed at by everyone and they all said the same thing, pop the two pillar covers along the rear glass and that's it. I literally spent hours and it could have been accessed in 15 minutes. Maybe something to revisit by the fellas who do this work for the company. I'm not angry because I have to run wires up front and now it's wide open for doing that.

first my complaint... What I thought I was ordering was the Master Sheet for my 2015 Buick Lacrosse. My understanding when I paid for it was that they were throwing in the Research Notes for free. I promptly received an email with the invoice and the Research Notes pdf. The order status on the web site said pending shipment... it still does like 2 weeks late. I finally called and had a rep tell me that the research notes was all I was getting. Then why the 5 stars? Because those notes got me through my speaker replacements perfectly and that was worth the price alone. So thanks for that... but I never got that Master Sheet as pictured above.

Deepak from Apex, NC on 11/22/2020
2010 Honda Accord
Received these "Vehicle-specific instructions" via email/download when I ordered speakers for the 2010 Accord. First of all, these instructions are very generic to series of accord ('08-'12). Don't expect it to specific be to your model/year of car. These instructions will help you to get started but soon you will find struggling to remove "Wiring harness, door lock and release cables", twitter installation, and installing speakers on the bracket. You find better detailed information on google/youtube then just one-liner. These instructions are more suggestive than actual directions. I would suggest Crutchfield invest some time and money to make it more detailed and save DIYers time. However, Crutchfield's customer is awesome - they helped me a lot. After spending an entire day (5-6 hours) installing all 4 speakers and 2 twitters, I realized the importance of detailed instructions. It's merely 2 hours job with correct detailed instructions.

Wire and door panel removal issues.
Crutchfield customer from Coral Springs, FL on 10/25/2020

While it was a decent sheet, it wasn't specific enough. It didn't properly locate the reverse lights on a 2006 Mazda 3, in order to install a backup camera. The wire they suggested was only 10.5 volts in the lower passenger kick panel. The correct wire is located on the driver side. From the kick panel to the rear. Also pictures of the the door panel removal never indicated the proper way to pull and remove the door panels from the Christmas tree attachments.
Pros: 90% complete instructions
Cons: 10% not complete instructions.

Install instruction . Please read!
Crutchfield customer from Morgan Hill, CA on 10/17/2020
2017 Nissan Murano
There is no sense on going through all the instruction of removing and disconnecting the OEM stereo /info media system and leaving it at that. It is highly probable That the reason for removing the radio is because we want to replace it . An individual who has removed and miticulously , and carefully disconnected the harness and has gone far deep to the process has mostlikely decided and committed on just not removing but also replacing the OEM unit . It does not make sense to remove the stereo for nothing .Unless the car has been wrecked and the owner just want to remove and sell the stereo.( no reason to buy instructions on this) Having said you must have instructions for installing different kinds of aftermarket unit . An instruction for installing a single or double DIN and specify all the surrounding wire harnesses they need to purchase depending on the car. Because If you have a removal instruction you have to have at least an installation instruction up to aftermarket stereo . I believe it's fair to say that the basic design of an aftermarket wire harness is the one end of the harness is car specific and the other end is designed and generically terminated so it can be connected to a vast variety of brands and models of of aftermarket unit. At this point the individual just needs to refer to the wiring connections or wiring schematics of the specific aftermarket stereo their installing . Ok Amp installation is a different story . See

Crutchfield customer from Buckeye, AZ on 10/9/2020
2015 Fiat 500
It was very helpful. My only suggestion is that for the back side panel, it should recommend to take off the entire back seat so it it easier to work on (it only recommended to take off the seat, not the back too). Also, maybe recommend that you purchase some of the plastic clips cause they break when you remove them. Otherwise, it was really helpful
Pros: Step by step process.
Cons: Some parts could be a bit more detail

A Good Overview - But Incomplete For Vehicle-Specific Instructions
Crutchfield customer from Portland, OR on 10/8/2020
1993 Ford Ranger
The basics are there, but some significant oversights. For example, a 5 mm socket was listed as being required but it was the incorrect size (too small). Instructions for removing the window crank were a bit misleading (diagram didn't match text). Instructions for removing the door panel completely missed having to remove the door latch panel - and there was no mention of disconnecting any wired switches for mirrors, lock, windows, etc. So while the MasterSheet gives a broad overview of the process, for an ostensible vehicle-specific set of instructions (in my case a 1993 Ford Ranger Supercab), it leaves a bit to be desired.
Pros: A good broad overview of the process, reasonably well-written, illustrations are helpful
Cons: Illustrations are helpful - photos would be better, supposed to be vehicle-specific but missed some key steps in the process

You guys need to update your speakers listings. My 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT Crew Cab without Bose, without Ontario, without Pillar tweeter, still has tweeters. These are factory installed tweeters behind the wire mesh accessed from behind the door panel with factory wiring using the same connectors as all the other speakers in the truck. So my truck is OEM 6 speakers. Not 4, and not 7-9 with Bose.

Very helpful so you dont break anything cause missed a screw or plug in
Pros: Explains every steps clearly also has pictures that shows exactly what to remove and hidden screws and clips
Cons: No wiring diagrams for after market pig tails (plug ins) to after market head unit to factory pig tail (plug ins) since there are a few different factory head unit options.

Only covers the basic easy stuff
Crutchfield customer from Cincinnati, OH on 3/3/2020
2010 Volkswagen Tiguan
I was trying to up-grade the audio system in my 2005 VW Touareg. I has the top-of-line audio sys for that year and it sounds really good. I thought by up-grading the head unit I could include bluetooth, wifi with touchscreen and back-up camera. This master sheet only covers the basic sys, which probably is an easy plug-and -play. I talked to a tech-rep who continually told me it was possible even after I referred him to a couple of web sites that noted that a VW Touareg (2004-2009) can't be done with out gutting the whole sys and replacing it with very expensive components. If you are covering vehicle, cover all levels of audio sys. I spent this much only to find out hardly anything was covered for my 2005 VW Touareg.

The vehicle specific instructions are invaluable. The details are wonderful and take the guesswork out of disassembly and installation. Knowing where all of the fasteners are speeds the process and prevents unnecessary damage. The wiring diagrams help assure you are working with the correct circuits etc. Well worth the price!

I have been using Crutchfield products for many, many years now, having upgraded many low standard stock radio products in many types of vehicles. The install instructions for my older model Honda Pilot were spot on. Of course, having my own panel removal tools helped tremendously, but the instructions were clear and well written. Having to remove the necessary console trim panels for the first time in this vehicle, I found them to be of valuable assistance. Thanks, Crutchfield.

If you are getting this free with order this will give "Some" help.
Carol from OCALA, FL on 1/2/2020
2006 Toyota Avalon
The vehicle specific instructions are just not enough to get the job done. It it comes free when you order product you would benefit with "some" help that costs you nothing. I paid $10 for mine just to see if I wanted to even do the upgrade and replacement project on my 2006 Toyota Avalon XLS in the first place. Many important parts were left out on how to really do the replacement of the OEM speakers with better low cost aftermarket. If I had not done a TON more research on my own using the internet and watching Youtube videos it would have been a disaster for me not having any real experience with a Factory JBL premium sound system.
Pros: It does give a few answers to how to do a replacement project.
Cons: Very short and even missing steps that need to be done to do it right and finish the job.

This one did not which is a mistake and should be fixed. Knowing these locations is pretty important to make sure you know where to pry without breaking something. Figure 6 on page 8...

A good start but needs more specifics for my vehicle
Crutchfield customer from Metairie, LA on 5/1/2019
2013 Honda Pilot
I will start by saying Crutchfield Master Sheets are very helpful, and I certainly know more about disassembling my car now than I did without it. But the problem with this one (and one other one I got in the past for a different car) is that the range of years/models/trim covered is too broad. This is for 2009 and up Honda Pilots with 10 speaker systems. I have a 2013 Honda Pilot EX-L with Navigation. There are a couple little things on this Master Sheet that don't apply to my car, and there are a couple things in my car that are not on this Master Sheet. I certainly expected more detail from a pdf file for this price. I'm not a beginner at car audio installation, but I still find this information slightly lacking. The other car I once had a master sheet for was a 2006 Volkswagen Passat. Same issue - good for the basics and a start, but not nearly enough to help avoid the need for a pro installation of Crutchfield's gear. I still love Crutchfield and their customer service. These Master Sheet's need some updating to be true DIY instructions.
Pros: A good starter; Detailed at telling you what tools are needed
Cons: Not enough detail for disassembly/fabrication/re-assembly; many items and wires in my car are not covered on the Master Sheet they sent; there are other wiring options available than the 2 they mention in here;

Waited for one and half hours to be emailed a pdf. Then when I finally after a live chat and 2 phone calls, realized that only the first 4 pages were for radio install. The rest was speaker installation. I thought I was getting 17 pages of RADIO installation which would include harnesses, steering wheel controls etc. To make matters worse the instructions were wrong and/or missing info. One step failed to tell you to remove the screws PRIOR to pushing the knobs. Totally omitted the removal of hazard button. I could go on but in short I feel ripped off at this price.

Lifesaving and DASH SAVING Installation Instructions

I needed instruction on disassembling the dash to access the wiring for the factory head unit in order to connect the speaker-level inputs of a mono subwoofer amplifier. My vehicle is a brand new 2018 and I wasn't keen on the idea of poking, prodding and prying to figure out how the dash comes apart. I feared breaking trim or clips. I love that Crutchfield R&D figures this out and documents it for me! I have received the free installation instructions from Crutchfield in the past when I have purchased products from them, but this time I was installing equipment that I already had. I am glad that they make this same information available for purchase in instances such as this. It was well worth the $10 not to destroy the dash of my new car. Thanks Crutchfield R&D!!

Unfortunately I thought this master sheet was the answer to everything regarding DIY car stereos. I installed a bazooka bass tube to a factory Toyota head unit and not one of the wires from the bazooka tube harness matched the Toyota radio wires. Big disappointment I still had to take it somewhere to get it installed.

Waste of $

Complete Waste of Money. It would actually be useful if it included how to wire your radio after removal of factory stereo. Removing factory radio is probably the easiest part to do and can be found on youtube for free. Thanks for nothing.

Pros: I liked that it came as a PDF by e-mail
Cons: did not include a wire diagram

Much needed
AL from Tulsa ,ok on 9/5/2018
2017 Chevrolet Cruze
Wow. Trying to replace the factory head unit is a maze of spaghetti. These instructions, while minimal, were almost perfect and fairly complete. So happy they included them. The wiring adapter is very complex with nav/mics/audio/and camera's. Old school DIY person. The posi-twist connectors were much needed as well even though I didn't think I needed them! (have heat shrink and soldering iron) I actually wired the metra in my living room before install Thanks for the help!
Pros: Wouldn't attempt this w/o them had most of what I needed
Cons: Print is small and kind of light. I am old so yeah needed my glasses

Cons: No wiring information or color codes.

Has only Generic Instructions. I had a variant with a subwoofer and a factory amp, and this document does not have any information on them - just a bunch of generic instructions on how to remove speakers and head units with Images from a civic
Pros: The level of information in this document is for absolute newbies
Cons: Nothing about the specific issues that need to be addressed in what is supposedly a car specific document

About 98% of anything you need to do any changes or upgrades to the factory sound system. It gives you all the color codes of the wiring but falls short by not giving locations and cable routing harnesses or where the various factory components. Other than that it is great.
Pros: Clear and easy to read. All color codes. Good pictures
Cons: No component locations specidfied

The great part about these instructions is that they are easy to follow, and have clear pictures. I've purchased a few of these for different cars, and one thing I've noticed is that they've added text to the pictures and more clearly show you where and how to pry up panels. This is really helpful, so that you don't accidentally pry up the wrong spot and create a scratch or dent inadvertently.

Great Product Except One Thing...
John from Farmington, UT on 5/14/2018
1997 Toyota Camry LE
This should have been a 5 star review except for one thing. In the instruction for the 99 Toyota 4runner, it does not explain that you need to take out the amp located behind the stereo in order to connect your wiring harness (the wiring harness does not connect to the cables behind the stereo, it connects to the wires behind the amp). Other than that, this has been a fantastic product that I would recommend to everyone. I also purchased this sheet for a 97 camry and the instructions were very clear and helpful.
Pros: Helpful and clear Worth the cost
Cons:

Scott from Denver, CO on 5/9/2018

I found the installation instructions to be extremely helpful. The only possible way that they could be more helpful is if they showed the custom fabrication steps I ultimately had to do in order to complete my install, but that would be impossible. Overall I am very glad I could reference these as needed.

Crutchfield's Master Sheets take all the guesswork out of replacing head units and stock location speakers.

The MasterSheet was very detailed, but I wish they also had a backup camera option. I purchased the MasterSheet first to gauge the difficulty of the job. Later I purchased some accessories that came with another MasterSheet. Crutchfield was awesome in refunding me for that first MasterSheet. Without the MasterSheet I would not have attempted this and would have paid well over $100 to have a shop do the install.
Pros: Shows what is needed
Cons: No option to get a backup camera MasterSheet

Crutchfield Vehicle Instructions
Alan from Monroeville, Al on 10/24/2017
2015 Jeep Wrangler
Instructions are pretty straight forward, the pictures/diagrams are the biggest help. The step by step was right on track, however some of the screw size descriptions were not correct, but as long as you have your nut-driver or socket set close at hand you'll be fine. There is really no reason for the auto makers to use 5-6 different size and style screws to put together a bunch of plastic. So with this being said, Crutchfield has done an excellent job with their instructions. My install was a first time DIY in a 2015 Jeep Wrangler.
Pros: clear, precise pictures and great step by step
Cons: No cons for me....I had my tools readily available.

There's an easier way
Kyle from Dalton, PA on 10/9/2017
2013 Subaru Forester
Instructions tell you to file a notch in the speaker mounts so you can get the wires to the back of the speaker. However, there's hole in the inner door face right next to the lower wire guide. I poked my finger through; you could make a much smaller hole and seal it with tape if you're concerned about maintaining the vapor barrier. In any event, it's a lot easier than filing a notch in the speaker mount.
Pros: Instructions are mostly good, if succinct: "Remove x by using y." That doesn't BEGIN to tell you what it will actually be like.
Cons: Bad advice in one instruction

Crutchfield customer from Atlanta, GA on 9/26/2017

Very generic installation instructions. I did some research on youtube beforehand but purchased these instructions just to be safe, kind of regret the money I spent. It in no way goes into detail of how to wire up the new speakers in my door or A column, and is extremely vague on how to install an aftermarket tweeter in my 2012 Civic. If you need generic directions on how to remove your door panel, and various things you can find on youtube for free go ahead and purchase this.
Pros: Helpful in the most generic way possible.
Cons: Does not explain where to install crossovers, how to run wiring to tweeter, or in detail how to install aftermarket tweeter other than "Just glue it."

You won't find this information in the wiring harness instructions either, so you will need to search internet forums or vehicle service manuals or just start testing everything with a multimeter until you find the information you need.

Sheldon from CA on 6/15/2017
2006 Toyota Sienna
Do Not Pay For These Instructions, installation instructions are generic and trim removal directions are easily searchable on the web and if you are going to attempt a DIY stereo install, you probably already know how to remove the trim pieces from your car. I thought this was going to be a comprehensive installation guide which includes how to do the wiring since the site asks for a lot of specifics about your car, down to the exact stereo spec. I only bought this because this was the guide that was included with the stereo bundle with the PAC and it would be a specific installation from receiver to PAC to vehicle.
Pros: trim removal description is vehicle specific but that is easily found on the web
Cons: generic installation instructions, doesn't even show sample wiring instructions

This helped with the replacement of the factory head unit and door speakers...but not the rear speakers! The Roadster (convertible) doesn't have the same enclosure as the coupe. You only have instructions for the coupe which doesn't help me at all. I'm searching everywhere and can't find instructions for removing rear panel to get to the rear speakers in the Roadster! I have a pro audio guy from here in Pittsburgh doing the install but he's never had a convertible 350Z model.
Pros:
Cons: Doesn't cover removal of rear speakers on Roadster model!

Guest from Orem, UT on 3/4/2017
2009 Nissan Versa
This review is for the 2009 Nissan Versa MasterSheet instructions. Everything about the stereo is pretty straight forward but the speakers are a different story. The instructions say that you need to drill 1/8th inch mounting hole. After examining it with the speakers attached to the speaker brackets I couldn't find anyplace where a new mounting hole was required. The bracket lined up perfectly with the factory speaker holes. I did have to drill a new hole though to re-route the speaker wires using a 3/4th drill bit, I went this big so I could get the speaker wire plug through it. The speaker connection for the factory speaker was in the front of the speaker, the connection on the aftermarket speaker was on the back of the speaker, out of the way so there was no where for the wire to connect to the new speaker. I wish these instructions were more specific for this car. I had to do a bunch of guessing. I hope Crutchfield re-examines these instructions and makes corrections to them.

Almost perfect! Everything is accurate when trying to remove door panels and speakers. Only problem I had was trying to install tweets in the dash. Instructions were not clear enough to install them. Pictures on the MasterSheet had 2 wires showing when my toyota rav4 had 4 wires, there was also a mention of connecting the positive wires together but no color distinction was mention though I can't find any info on that in many site and forums so i guess its fine? Called support got a solution but holding off until I get the rest of my build.
Pros: Useful!
Cons: Why is it 10 dollars alone tho u get it free when u buy something

I used 2 different MasterSheets for 2 different cars and both had some information gaps that made me look online for different guides to show me the next step.
Pros: Gave a basic idea of what needed to happen.
Cons: The harder parts or harder to find screws/panels need to be described better and have additional pictures. Each car has it's challenges and when doing the install you learn each car from easy to hard. You should make sure to capture the hard ones or hard parts....

I was able to use the internet to figure out how to wire the radio. This will be helpful if I ever decide to upgrade the speakers in the door.
Pros: It is helpful for removing speakers and your stock radio. It looks like it is helpful for installing new speakers.
Cons: No help wiring the radio during installation. No schematics or wiring diagram. A waste of money. I found the information I needed on the internet.

Jim from Dallas, TX on 9/29/2016
2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
I have been using and referring others to Crutchfield for years. Perhaps I got to rely too much on the accuracy and complete nature of the Master Sheets over time but I was disappointed by my most recent version for the 2014-17 Sierra/Silverado. As expected, the directions were spot on for dash and console disassembly and even access to speaker locations in the door panels BUT there were no wire ID schedules to guide navigating the factory wiring harnesses forcing me to search on vehicle model forums for info; even more unforgivable are the door panel assembly directions which are as follows: 10. "Test speaker operation and reassemble by reversing disassembly steps." The problem here is they left out small but vital steps to re-assemble the doors without causing damage to the vehicle. I ended up having to go online and watch a YouTube video on the topic after struggling for an hour and bending locking rods and door panel clips.
Pros: Handy to have out in the driveway with half the car taken appart
Cons: Save your time and money just watch a YouTube video for your specific vehicle.

Incredible Guide
Ryan from Woodinville, WA on 9/27/2016
2006 Dodge Ram 1500
All of the information I find with Crutchfield is fantastic - and this guide is no exception. It is clear, concise, and ACCURATE! The only thing that could be added is someone here to actually turn the screwdriver. The photos are relevant and the easy step-by-step instructions gave me the confidence to do the install and know it was done correctly. Whenever I need audio installation or tutorials, I turn to Crutchfield first, and I have yet to not be able to find something to help or explain what I need. I just cant say enough how impressed I am with the level of detail and knowledge that is provided in an easy to understand format for people of all (or like me low) levels of skill and experience. Thanks Crutch!
Pros: Easy to read Excellent photos Accurate
Cons: I cannot think of any!

Jensen NAV RECEIVER
Gary J from Juneau, AK on 3/31/2016
2011 Ford F-350
The Crutchfield company built their reputation on selling to do it yourselfers. This implys that the company will supply detailed installation instructions that clearly explain how everything goes together. In this case, the detailed instructions were first of all, not detailed and second, very poor. There is no overall schematic showing how all the parts go together and some of the tools needed to do the job were not provided. I am still working on doing the install. Not a pleasant experience.
Pros: Jensen is a well known name & hopefully their unit will work well when I get it installed.
Cons: Install is a major pain when you are working with very poor instructions and don't have needed tools.

Pros: Easy to order and receive. Easy to read.
Cons: Not very detailed.

MasterSheet is a must!

I used this to replace my factory front door speakers as well as my rear deck speakers. This was essential in the completion of my installation in a timely manner. Being a little mechanically inclined always helps but rather than waster time and so what there was to take off, this sheet helped me do this in a breeze!
Pros: Very easy and simple walk through instructions for speakers
Cons: None!

If all you need to do is remove your stereo from the car, this is the set of instructions for you. Installation ? Forget it. I understand there are many ways to install an aftermarket stereo. Some tips, hints, Something would be helpful. Crutchfield recommends a stereo, and components for this car, why not show how to install it ?
Pros: Great car stereo removal instructions. Perfect for the casual stereo thief.
Cons: Worthless for installation.

The hardest part, made easy
jdr from Oregon on 1/16/2016
1986 Toyota Tercel
Designing, selecting, wiring and installing a car audio system can be easy for someone with experience in other audio electronics hobbies - except for the part where you have to TAKE APART A CAR. That Crutchfield makes their vast expertise in dismantling dashboards etc. available to their customers has always struck me as going above and beyond for a mail-order retailer. I'm sure I've avoided a lot of costly mistakes by following the instructions on my master sheet. If I was more of a "car person" and less of an "electronics person", I might be disappointed that the master sheet doesn't include more details on wiring. I think a lot of the negative reviews are from people who don't have any problems figuring out where all 14 dashboard screws are, instinctively know that some pieces of plastic can be safely pried apart and others are best left alone, but don't know how to trace a wire from the factory plug to the left rear speaker. So, if you are OK with electronics stuff and clueless with car stuff, the Master Sheet is for you. If it's the other way around, be prepared to spend some time doing more research.
Pros: The info you need to take your car apart without destroying it in the process.
Cons: If you're expecting detailed wiring instructions, you won't find them here.

The installation
me33 from Texas on 10/26/2015
I had no idea how to install rear 6x9 speakers in my car. The guide they sent to me via email really helped. I have completed my install which saved me about $100.00 The only reason I did not give a 5 star is there was a clip that had no explanation as to how I should "unclip it" still I am unsure of the proper way to do it but It left me with a choice of using a screwdriver to pry it apart or to cut the wire and redo it. Went with the screw driver method and got it to work. anything the book does not cover can be covered via calling Crutchfield. All that being said if you do not know what to do I recommend this.
Pros: - covers main subject matter clearly - anything not covered you can call them about - tells you what tools and socket sizes you need before you start the installation process - has some good picture references - I used this product with success
Cons: - could use 1 more picture explaining a clip I could not figure out by looking at it

Mike McL from Virginia on 9/7/2015

As a first time installer, I wasn't sure I could handle the project successfully by myself. I'm a reasonably handy person, but this was uncharted territory for me. I was expecting the "Master Sheet" to guide me literally step by step, but was a bit lacking I thought. The information was correct, while not being as minutely detailed as I expected it gives the info needed. In addition any questions you may have are quickly answered by Crutchfield's oustanding techs.
Pros: Couldn't have done it without it.
Cons: None, really.

This a very useful information tool. Perhaps they detailed this point in the ordering process, but I didn't realize it was a digital copy Only It's not that big of a deal, but I would have appreciated a physical copy, so I wouldn't have had to use my own paper and ink. The product itself was useful, but maybe could have used more and clearer pictures.

master sheet honda accord
tp from gaithersburg, md on 6/22/2015
there is nothing bad about the master sheet except the process to obtain one. Given it can be sent electronically having to call someone to order it and a 24 hours or so processing time after purchase makes it less desirable. Also i noticed that almost all (if not more complete) insturctions in the master sheet are available in articles on the site....makes it a hard pill to swallow paying 10 dollars for it.... otherwise i love how much info especially related to car audio installs but also home audio is available from crutchfield...they operate out of my home town but as a company my unbiased opinion is they are awesome to work with.

Not really what I was expecting..
Joseph from Texas on 6/18/2015
This is only useful if you know absolutely Nothing about your vehicle. I thought that the MasterSheet was a full step-by-step guide through your entire install, including wiring, with plenty of pictures. They ask a lot of questions beforehand about your vehicle and what kind of install you're doing and say each MasterSheet is vehicle specific. I was disappointed to receive a mere 15 page PDF with partial information and black and white photos. Why ask so many Specific questions about my '12 Ext Cab just to send a "07 and up" with generic info. This really only shows how to prepare your vehicle for the install(remove old stereo etc), but not much on the actual install of your new stuff. Generic information like that is available on tons of other resources for free. There's a few footnotes about wiring but not near enough to really be helpful. The idea here is good, just needs work. I understand that each install is custom to a point, but a full walkthrough of a common install for the vehicle would've been much more helpful.
Pros: Good buy if you don't even know where to start.
Cons: Not an install guide. More of a removal guide with brief notes on install.

Jeremie from Chesapeake, Va. on 6/10/2015

I would have rated it lower than one star but couldn't. I thought I was buying a MasterSheet? It should include a wiring diagram in a MasterSheet not just a few pictures of how to remove dash panels! I even had an electrician say the same thing.
Pros: If your a moron and can't use the Internet to find pics and videos of what you need then this is great I guess.
Cons: Waste of money only includes a few pics and instructions. Either I already new how to do it, found it on the Internet or the instructions were included with the other products I purchased for the install.

Well had a problem with the radio install for my Ford Explorer 2000 2 dr.sport ,the U shaped wires did not pull the radio out,heard the "click" but no go ,so removed the dash and radio all in one pc,pushed clips from the side and it slide out .Metra 70-1771 Receiver Wiring Harness was easy- color to color . The plastic slide(in the dash for the radio) had a lip around the back edge,(Pioneer FHX-720BT 2-DIN CD Receiver) radio would not slide in ,had to cut the lip off ( not hard to do with a razor knife) Metra 95-5817 Double DIN Installation Dash Kit worked well ,good fit ! So all and all the Crutchfield MasterSheetT was very helpfull ,I would buy it again, my explorer was exception to the rule . Front speaker only had 3 screws ,they didn't put in 4 .I was prepared for Murphy he's family after 60 + years LOL ! Hope this helps. GOTTA LOVE FORD !
Pros: tools,clear step by step, screw location and type .Picture good

Job done correctly
The manual was ordered for replacing speakers in the doors or a 2005 Chevy Cav. Got them replaced, and I also got to replace the back speakers, and even the headunit. Because those instructions were also included. It wasn't my first time using it, I also used a manual from MasterSheet for my 2008 Liberty. For the price, you can't beat it for a job done the right way. You go into a task with confidence when you haven't messed with the task previously. Just as long as you have the MasterSheet.
Pros: Pictures, step by step instructions, how to do more than just what you originally ordered the manual for, pdf file so you don't have to have a bunch of papers to deal with, price is worth every penny, gets the job done
Cons: none

1993 Volvo 240 Install
Dave from Norheast PA on 6/6/2014
The MasterSheet for the Volvo 240 (1993) was good as far as it went. What it didn't include was details about how to access the harness and connector connected to the external amplifier. Since the stock external amplifier is bypassed with this install, access to that connector is necessary. The wire harness set included the correct connector for it, but said that it was located below the steering column. On this model, it is actually located below the HVAC controls in the center console, and is little tricky to get to and remove. Thankfully a person who reviewed the wire harness provided the necessary information in their review.
Pros: Procedure that was described was accurate.
Cons: An essential part of the installation procedure was omitted.

Mastersheet Goodness
Bryan P. from 37686 on 3/12/2014
2009 Ford Escape
This little gem helped more than I thought it would. My wife has an 09 Ford Escape XLT and it has very well hidden points of contact on the interior. Plus, I was unfamiliar with the car so I didn't really know where to begin with taking the dash out. I swear I had the head unit out inside of 4 minutes. It may seem a little pricey, but if you're at all unsure about how to go about your install, this is the ONLY way to go. It will tell you up front exactly the tools you need, as well as any tips or tricks they deem relevant. The best part is, it covers every part of the stereo, so if need to know how to pull out the door speakers later, that's included too. The only thing I could say negative about the whole process, is that it wasn't possible to buy this online, I had to call them and order. The guy I spoke to was good, and the transaction was over fast, but I was told the sheet would come in the confirmation email and it didn't. I had to call them back and get it emailed to me because I had a very limited amount of time to work with. That turned out to be a wise move, because I didn't officially even get the mastersheet until 2 days later. Something to work on guys.
Pros: Extremely comprehensive and accurate
Cons: a bit pricey difficult to purchase

Very nice to have some instructions specific to my vehicle and the photos were basically accurate. It would have been 5 stars if it included the detail about needing to ground the aftermarket head unit. Apparently the stereo in the '05 Lancer is grounded through the chassis of the stereo, so grounding the new unit was needed. Not a deal breaker, just had to get some extra connectors to get it done.
Pros: Good basic instruction set for the receiver and speaker installation. Included in the price on my purchase.

Unfortunately, like the web site re fit of my speakers in my car, expectations were not met. Only 2 of four mounting holes in the speakers line up with the tapped receivers in the rear deck, and the factory grills will not fit over the replacement speakers without non-minor modification.
Pros: Provides general instructions that give one a good sense of the depth of the job.
Cons: Doesn't accurately relay modifications needed to the car -- sets the expectation that none are needed, when in fact, they are.

erwin from Austin, TX on 2/14/2013
While this mastersheet can serve as a guide, you cannot use it as a step-by-step instruction sheet for a 2005 Santa Fe. There were several omissions, misstatements, and misguidance. For example, do not use a 90 deg screwdriver where indicated. A phillips straight screwdriver is much easier. I feel for anyone who tried to use a 90 screwdriver, especially if they went and purchased one on advice fo the mastersheet. Also, the climate control panel comes out by prying at the top edge of the top 2 corners, not by the sides of the 4 corners as the instructions state (or imply, I don't have them in front of me). There were other inaccuracies, but I can't remember the details now. In short, skim the mastersheet for a general guide to the steps involved, but don't waste time trying to follow the steps verbtim (unless your vehicle matches the photos exactly, mine did not).

easy as 123
Jeffs from cincinnati oh on 2/13/2013
The only way it couldve been easier is if I had someone install my head unit themselves. Great step by step instruction, tells you exactly what tools you WILL need and no surprises. I HAVE NEVER EVER EVER installed any kind of head unit or speakers before and really not the most mechinally sound individual but it really was that easy. I wish Crutchfield did these instructions for marriage! Thanks Crutchfield great tool
Pros: everything

Helped with part of the product install
Parrish from Monticello , Ky on 2/9/2013
Good for the install with the iPod adapter I purchased but not for the amplified sub woofer I purchased. Of course it's not advertised to help with wiring issues anyway, so it helps with the basics.
Pros: For basic install help it's invaluable, it's not much use for wiring issues but its not advertised to be.
Cons: Not much use for issues beyond basic install

Not complete
jiminkirkland from kirkland, WA on 2/8/2013
Seems like a good idea but-----. Not particularly complete for an installation of my Kenwood x596 into a Honda Element. After installation I found that I had really poor AM/FM reception and was quite dissatisfied with the radio. After I called Crutchfield Support I found that a particular blue wire was NOT supposed to be wired to a particular blue wire but to a blue/white wire. So, out came the radio again. Why couldn't that have been noted in the instructions?

This is why I buy from Crutchfield!
Gorilla W from NC on 2/6/2013
I have never attempted to install a set of speakers of a stereo in to a car. I was sent detailed instructions on how to install 4 speakers and a stereo into my '08 Mazda 3 and I did so for the first time ever without ease. I ran into one little issue while connecting my old speaker harness to the new ones I bought. I called the Crutchfield help line on a Saturday morning and was given a very quick answer to my question. Awesome! These instructions saved me nearly $300 on doing it myself instead of paying someone else to do it. After I got everything installed I couldn't believe that people would charge this much to install a stereo and 4 speakers. Crutchfield rules!
Pros: Allows anyone with zero experience simple and clear instructions to do the work.
Cons: None

Nearly useless
Alissa from Madison, WI on 2/6/2013
I'm not sure why this is "worth" the price. The directions were nearly useless and if you had no other resources, would be completely useless. I found forum posts specific to my car that were MUCH more detailed and helpful. Getting this for free was not a perk, but a waste of paper, and pretty much just a marketing gimmick. What would be better to include would be step by step directions on how to take apart the dash and how to actually connect the wires for the wiring harness. In this day and age, there are better resources out there.
Pros: Will make great kindling when grilling season starts up again.
Cons: Nearly uselss.

Mastersheet is Awesome
JeffP from Poquoson, VA on 1/31/2013
Can't beat the Crutchfield MasterSheet. If you are at all handy or have installed a car stereo before. this document will get you through the rough parts. I did have to make a call to tech support... However Crutchfield tech support is top notch! This MasterSheet combined with Phone support saved me $350 in installation costs.
Pros: Good photos. Good instructions. Very valuable. Could not have done this install myself without it.
Cons: Could be a little more specific to the exact vehicle, but I understand the need to consolidate and not have thousands of different versions of the MasterSheet. Any cons are negated by great Crutchfield phone support.

Ford Focus Install
Guide was not clear or accurate on the guide. Could not find the location of one screw. I called for help and the tech could not see it untill he called around. We found the one screw on the inside of the dashboard on the passenger side near the air vent. A second concen was, more screws needed to be removed for the In dash receiver panel to come off. [4 screws at the base of the panel, below the duel 12v plug adapters.]
Pros: If it wasn't in the master worksheet, I could call [When I did call the Tech was very helpful!]
Cons: Missing some detailed procedures

99% Accurate
Mike from San Ramon, CA on 1/28/2013
Great job with the install sheet - a couple of minor points... if you have the "fold-down rear seats" there is no need to remove them, you can just fold them down to get them out of the way for the speaker install. Also, the wiring harness for the radio does not activate the illumation dimmer / night-time lighting that normally activates with the car headlights on the radio.
Pros: solid, easy to follow- instructions
Cons: no mention of how to deal with the fold-down rear seat

Mr. Bill from N CA on 1/26/2013
The instructions were complete and clear. However in my case there is one instruction "use a long screwdriver to remove the factory amp..." Not only can you NOT use a long screwdriver to do this, it requires a philips screwdriver no longer than 3/4 in. I resorted to buying a special screwdriver after two hours of knuckle busting and swearing.
Pros: Complete
Cons: Undoable

Accurate info, but not a requirement
Nick Danger from Southwest FL on 1/25/2013
I had a SiriusXM after-market radio installed professionally in my '06 Chrysler Sebring convertible. ( Installer did not even look at this material.) There is good info included regarding speaker installation. Just wished that more specific installation material was included for a convertible, because the first time I lowered the top, the radio stopped working, and I received a message- loss of antenna signal. (Now, I have to go back & have the installation checked out.)

Didn't really help that much
Danny T. from Oklahoma City, OK on 1/24/2013
I already knew how to get my dash fascia pulled off and how to remove and disconnect the factory stereo. I was hoping the master sheet would provide more detail on how to hook the aftermarket adapter to the new stereo unit. But instead, I had to use the instructions that came with the adapter, which were very complicated and had no diagrams or illustrations, just all text. Thankfully, between my prior electronics training in the Navy, and the help of Crutchfield's tech support folks, I was able to get everything installed and working properly.
Pros: Good for someone who has never pulled apart a GM truck dash before.
Cons: A little too generic, maybe a separate version that goes more in-depth for folks with the Bose factory system.

Master Sheet. Almost...
Jermdog from Independence, KY on 1/23/2013
The Honda Master Sheet I received with my purchase wasn't quite right. The 2005 Civic LX appears to be a combination (in the Master Sheet) of two different vehicles. It really is not an issue for me as I have 25 years of installation experience, lucky me! For the novice, take your time and read thoroughly. You will find that the sheet is accurate in that it does provide all locations correctly - maybe on different sheets, but in total, correct.
Pros: Easy to follow for Amateurs/Pros, detailed
Cons: Not to easy to follow for a Novice.

Needed More Info
JayL from San Anselmo CA on 1/22/2013
This was used to install a contemporary Kenwood speaker in a classic 1987 Toyota Supra. Removal of one of the mounting screws on each of the old speakers was virtually impossible due to the limited vertical clearance and a plastic overhand; it could not be accomplished with a stubby Phillips, as suggested, or even with a right angle socket screwdriver. Eventually, the screws were removed with a tedious process using pliers. This should have been mentioned. Also, the instructions said to substitute the new wiring harness. It gave no reason, and there was no necessity to do so-- the old wiring worked fine.
Pros: Gave a pretty good overview of what was necessary.
Cons: Needed to be more specific on when wiring should be replaced, and give reasons. Needed to provide a better solution for removing the old screws than just use of a stubby Phillips

Worthless
MattN from Cameron, NC on 1/19/2013
I've never installed a car radio or swapped out speakers. These instructions were utterly useless besides the invoice on the front. Thank goodness there's plenty of people who uploaded videos and How-To's with pictures that actually applied to my car (BMW E46). I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise. Called the "special" number on the front twice, but the technicians were always busy. The instructions showed pictures that weren't my car. It didn't talk about the adapter needed for the radio or the bracket for the speakers. I still don't know if the speakers were attached correctly, but they work.
Pros: Had an invoice.
Cons: Pictures and some instructions didn't match my car. Not enough information to install radio & speakers. Couldn't get a technician when I needed one.

Great step by step guide
Great guide with all the details.I would give it a five star rating if they fix the following: 1. Include the instillation guide for only your model vehicle. I have a '04 Ford F-150 super crew cab and was a bit confused as they had the standard and crew instructions before the super crew cab instructions. 2. Refine the wiring guide for the harness adapter. The colors of the wires are not always the same shade and they can be confusing at first.
Pros: Thorough guide with pictures.
Cons: Needs more wiring detail.

The master sheet wasn't bad, a great guide on how to remove the previous system. Not so much for installing the new one. Mainly, they left one big thing out, that the two gray connectors, needed to be attached to the current ones. We called the Tech people and within a few seconds, they were able to help and we were on our way.
Pros: Great for removing the old system.
Cons: Not so great for installing the new one.

DavidW from Atlanta, GA on 1/14/2013
I wasn't expecting the detailed build sheet but it was very helpful to have step-by-step instructions along with pictures, all specific to my model vehicle. By including instructions for other components, as well, I learned of a hidden sub that I didn't know existed (and wasn't working). All included parts made the install extremely easy!

Great instructions to keep around
DeCirce from Royal Oak, MI on 1/14/2013
Still amazed that it came with photos of a forester dash. it made everything so much easier. the nice part is it shows instructions for not only the deck but also putting speakers in the doors which is probably going to be my next purchase from crutchfield. Definitely keep it hand as its a great radio installation guide.
Pros: photo assisted guide of your make and model car
Cons: none noteworthy

Good... but be aware that it just tells you how to take stuff out, nothing about wiring. Had to figure that out on my own, not a big deal but it might take you a little longer if you were expecting ALL the instructions for installation. Just look it up on youtube.

Excellent in some ways, flawed in others
Mike L from Rochester, NY on 1/13/2013
The master sheet was excellent at describing the process of removing the radio from the dash. But like the product's (USA Spec iPod Interface) instructions it failed to describe the radio that I have and in this case left me figuring out how to connect the device. Both instruction sheets assume that everyone installing this has Nav or a CD changer - I have a single CD radio. The connector plug for the interface connects in a completely different way for this radio than for those with Nav, XM or a CD changer. It does not connect in-line with the stock wiring harness, but rather to an open plug on a different part of the radio than the instructions indicate. This caused confusion and delay for me and ended up with a much longer installation than Crutchfield suggested.
Pros: Step-by-step, clear descriptions of what you need to do to remove the radio; good illustrations
Cons: Doesn't recognize that some of us are cheap and don't buy cars with Nav, XM, CD changers, etc.

MasterSheet is a Godsend!
Shullj from Boulder City, NV on 1/12/2013
Although I am a do-it-yourself enthusiast, I hate doing anything on cars because of lack of documentation and difficulties getting into tight spots. However, the MasterSheet provided with my recent purchase of an upgraded radio for my basic Ford E150 van was a Godsend! The instructions were accurate and clear. The only time that I had any problems was when I misread or skipped over something and re-reading the directions cleared things right up. The radio and speakers are installed, sound great, nothing was broken and I didn't swear too much! I wish the instructions that came with the Sony radio were half as good. I figured it out, but id took some head scratching to make it fit. I'd definitely buy from these folks again and recommend them to my friends.
Pros: Great instructions, lots of pictures and specifically for my vehicle. Great job!
Cons: I cannot think of anything to complain about and that is unusual for me!

Mike09Ram from Elgin Il. on 1/12/2013
Very basic instruction sheet. Not complete for the radio I bought, did not explane mods needed to install radio in my vehicle, and gave no instructions on how to run mic up the A pillar. Had to use two different sheets for my dash panel.
Pros: Most things there if you look hard.
Cons: Not specific for the products I bought.

Mostly good
Hobby level installer from Idaho on 1/12/2013
Used master sheet to upgrade the factory deck and speakers in a 2008 Subaru Forester The master sheet had decent instructions, but I felt it was lacking in 3 areas: (1) Center console trim removal. The trim pieces don't pop out easily. Ended up using a wad of folded copy paper and a screwdriver wrapped in electrical tape. (2) climate control box removal. I feel greater detail was needed to remove the climate control box after removing trim pieces. If the installer removes the glove compartment(easy) first, the picture of how to disconnect the vent control wires makes much more sense. (3) Door panel removal. Popping the first clip was the hardest for each door. Each panel has at least one small gap. Slid a flat bar into each gap and gave one hard pop outward. After that, a series of short, hard pulls against the panel popped the rest of the pins. Did have to research online for clues on how to beat these issues. Once each of these roadblocks was overcome, the remaining instructions were correct and easy to follow. Total job time ended up being about 5 hours. My first install where I haven't broken any of the car's trim pieces :-)
Pros: Wiring diagrams and actual deck installation guidelines (once the factory deck sleeve is accessed) No one else does these instructions, so I appreciate that they were even available.
Cons: vehicle dis-assembly lacked detail

I love it when a plan comes together!
BJ D from Hudson Valley, NY on 1/12/2013
I was pleasantly surprised how detailed the MasterSheet is. It really made the installation of both the in-dash receiver and speakers in my doors a breeze to understand. It is an incredibly useful tool those looking for DIY solution.
Pros: Easy to read and understand, free with purchase.
Cons: None

Guest from Flagstaff, AZ on 1/11/2013
I love that the Crutchfield team sends out detailed instructions with pictures. Then, when my model of car was slightly different in a way that made it difficult to know what to do next, they emailed me a more detailed picture that helped me figure it out. They do a great job of customer service. I'd definitely buy from Crutchfield again!

Crutchfield Vehicle-specific Instructions
Crutchfield customer from Fredericksburg, VA on 1/9/2013
Master sheet did not mention anything in regards to the tweeter disconnection, had to call Tech Support to find a solution, which was resolved by disconnecting the wire to the tweeter and running the remaining wire to the speakers. Also the screws listed in the bottom panel of the door indicated it was a 1/4 inch, actually is the same as the screws in the upper door handle
Pros: Great asset in removing the door panels and installing the speakers
Cons: Need to mention the correct screw size and mentioned something about the additional wire going to the tweeter

Flip from Longwood, FL on 1/8/2013
What can I say tells you what you need to know.
Pros: Makes the job much easier
Cons: Maybe I missed the note but the emergency flasher button has a spring that can fall out when you take it apart. Without it the flashers turn on but they don't turn off. Could have been bad but found it. Would have been nice to know in advance.

Satisfactory overview but inadequate detail. You're better off calling Crutchfield Tech Rep--they are great and seem to have access to much more detail (not sure why they don't put all the wiring diagrams on line for the particular installation you purchased--the tech rep seemed to have access to all that in an instant.
Pros: Free
Cons: Not very detailed.

Great for Radio & Speakers but not A-Pillar or Headliner
Ody07 from Richmond, Va on 1/7/2013
Instructions are thorough for radio and speaker removal but did not address running a wire up the A-Pillar or headliner. Crutchfield tech support could not offer any furhter assistance either.
Pros: Radio removal instructions are great. Insludes photos which were helpful.
Cons: Had to figure out how to run the mic wire for a BT-35 HON on my own. Not too big of a deal as I was able to mount near the gear selector.

MasterSheet update
SteveK from North Hollywood CA on 1/7/2013
Your MasterSheet needs a "tweak". I have a 1992 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 (extended cab). Your directions fail to indicate that a ratchet wrench of 7/32" is needed to remove the original screws holding the speaker in place, not a phillips screwdriver as your directions state. I know mine were factory installed because I am the original owner of the vehicle and no work has ever been done to the stereo or speakers since I purchased new off the lot. I also have power windows and door locks and removing the door panels and working around them with no directions on how to deal with the wiring of these options made installation of the door speakers extremely difficult. Maybe you could indicate in your MasterSheet a way to work around or even temporarily disconnect the wiring of these features to get better access to the speaker for removal and re-installation. This request would also apply to those with the optional 4x4 and low-range features on their vehicle. There is a small panel just above the stereo component that needs to be worked around and/or temporarily disconnected. Both issues were difficult to manage without any help from the MasterSheet.
Pros:

Little Short on Details
lk from Round Rock, TX on 1/7/2013
Not bad but short on details. Not sure what I expected from the master sheet but for my 02 Explorer it seemed a little short on details. When I was replacing the stereo I had a connector with two wires that was no where on the sheet. I had to do some digging online to find out that it was related to the 6-disc changer I was replacing and therefore no longer needed. Would have been nice if there was a little section on the Master Sheet that mentioned possible variances and what they mean.
Pros: Every little bit helps on your first install
Cons:

Paul C from Alexandria, Va on 1/6/2013
The Master Instruction Sheet is good but not great. It is better than nothing but I think they can add more detail photos to the instruction. I think Crutchfield should do car specific video instruction where customers with purchase order number (I assumed they don't want the whole world to view it for free) can access the video and view the instruction.
Pros: Good instruction but not a whole lot of detail.
Cons: Too little photos.

Master sheet came free with my order.
Pros: It is free and usually has good help full hints.
Cons: This one did not give the right direction. I was suppose to put my old deck under the dash to keep it wired in so I can still use my keyless entry but there was no room. So I believe that this application was not correct for my car.

Difficult and time consuming installation due to poor MS instructions.
Ken from Marquette Heights, IL on 1/4/2013
Master Sheet instructions for my vehicle, an '06 PT Cruiser, were very general and "generic in nature." The Instructions did not make sense and I was not able to complete installation utilizing the Master Sheet. Finally had to call CS rep who agreed my MS instructions were difficult to follow. The rep was able to give me some alternate tips which allowed me to finally complete the installation. The rep was very nice and knowledgeable. Would not have been able to complete the installation without his help! The head unit and hardware are good quality and appear to be worth the cost. Overall, the installation took much to long due to the complex MS..
Pros: Quality hardware.
Cons: Difficult instructions to interpret.

Great help
The master-sheet was a great help in installing my receiver and speakers in my car. I would still recommend having a service manual for your vehicle, but really - I found the master sheet more useful as it included only what you needed to do. There was, however one flaw - the receiver install kit included a plastic "pocket" to fill the second half of the 2-Din spot where the 1-DIN receiver was going. It didn't explain how to install it - or even more importantly when you may need it or if you DO need it if you already have the OEM pocket in your car.
Pros: VERY helpful
Cons: Missing detail on part of the install kit (dashboard pocket kit).

Would like to see inset pictures of the connections so I know where to exert leverage safely. --image showed an after market assembly that I did not get, and when I called about it I was told that it is not possible to get it. So why is that the installation image?

Decent instructions
32Tudor from Skillman, NJ on 12/26/2012
Instructions were a little too generic. Could have used a little more clarity on the mute wire, which is apparently specific to the manufacturer radio.
Pros: really helped to identify the order and places to pry to remove pieces in the way of the radio screws.
Cons: Could have used a reference to a place to look-up or details on which mute wire to use. It seems to be vehicle manufacturer specific, but I had no clue how to find out which of three wires to use. Lucked out the first time by guessing.

Subaru 2005 Master Sheet
DonJ from Hellertown, PA on 12/26/2012
Overall the sheet was fairly complete. For complete removal of the HVAC Bezel, you need to both disengage the cable loops under the driver's and passenger's dash (as listed in the instructions) AND you need to remove the cable from the cable retention clip (not mentioned or pictured). The directions on how to prepare the stereo head where also a little lacking, including removing the face bezel and factory installed sleeve.

The free Master Sheets, installation adapters and wiring harnesses are worth the premium prices on purchases through Crutchfield. When I'm looking for replacement or after-market equipment for my cars, I always start with Crutchfield and more often than not, buy from them as well. The knowledge and how-tos are great!
Pros: Descriptions and accurate photos and diagrams make the job easier and give me the confidence to do it right and to do it myself.

ScottG from Brentwood, TN on 12/19/2012
Every Mastersheet I have ever used has shown me everything I have ever needed to know, from safely taking my dash apart, removal of old unit, installation of new unit, and reassembly of dash. I have never had to call for help, all pertinent information is presented in writing and graphically. The sheets include any variations in install that might be necessary due to vehicle options. I do not see how they could be made better.
Pros: Very thorough and complete descriptions and excellent graphics.
Cons: None

Shawbonez from Corona, Ca. on 12/17/2012
Even though you know what you're doing, there's always that little question you have about something in the installation proceedure that would just delay things until you got it answered right, and this guide knows your vehicle and has the answers first hand (kinda like I did forgetting one screw in the door panel and wondering why the thing wouldn't come off!). Good job with this guide.

Only partially correct
Jason from Gaithersburg, MD on 12/14/2012
It has been a long while since I installed a receiver in a car, but my recollection was that you bought the receiver and a special adapter from Crutchfield and you just plugged one into the other and you were done. With this purchase, I was paying $50 for something specific to the Corvette. Although nowhere was I told to solder wires or connect them, I ended up having to solder almost 20 connections. I realized afterwards that Crutchfield can't offer what I was thinking I was going to get for every receiver out there, but directions that at least mention what is required would be nice. The procedure to remove the console were comical. It did not cover complete removal of the console, which IS necessary, but did cover removing the hinged cover to the console which is absolutely NOT necessary. I have removed this section several times in the past months for various repairs of failed systems and know the GM steps quite well. Too bad that information was not shared in this mastersheet. The worst aspect was that the actual details involved in hooking the unit up are just avoided altogether, as is what you are supposed to do with the one harness/connector that isn't used once you remove the original head unit.
Pros: May help some.
Cons: Needs a whole lot of attention to make it a valuable resource.

The directions were great, until two key steps were left out. Without those two key steps (the fact that the upper door panels need to be taken off and two screws removed), the main door panel on the supercab can't be taken off.

Nerve settler.
Kevin F from Woburn, MA on 12/12/2012
For the radio install, the mastersheet was awesome. There were two 1/4" hex screws way up behind the cup holder drawer (when pulled out). The instructions did not have a photograph or a very good instruction to locate them, but at least they mentioned the existence. With a little trial and error, I found the right pair. Also had no information on routing the hands free mic cable. Fortunately, I have a shop manual for the car that told how to remove the knee bolster. A call to tech support about the window post (it just pops off) and we were up in no time. I spent more time planning and worrying about the install than actually doing it. In all, the mastersheet was a great help and gave me the confidence and information to get me 90% of the way there. With a little ingenuity, I was able to complete the job. I would not have been nearly so successful without it. Not by a long shot. I wouldn't even consider installing a new stereo into my car without the mastersheet. It is why I keep going back to Crutchfield.
Pros: Clear, concise. Saved me HOURS of looking around for what parts to remove to get the center panel bezel off. Maybe even a day.
Cons: Location of a couple of screws could have been clearer. No information for routing handsfree mic.

Pros: None
Cons: Not accurate for my car model. One of the main reasons I went with Crutchfield over competitors because they included this free info but was a big disappointment...

Build specs for Dodge Neon
Master build sheet for 2000 Dodge Neon from Pennsylvania on 12/9/2012
Honestly, it was good to have to remove the items, but did nothing to assist in the wiring removal/hook up... This was my first install and I found that some of the information was lacking... I also found that when I called into tech support - they were using a bit too much jargon for a novice like myself... Not to mention it was wiring... And I would hate to do more harm than good, just because I wanted to be pre-cautious. I knew what the man was speaking of because I have some construction work as part of my background, but it was hardly the information that gave me the ability to complete the task via their assistance. I ended up figuring it out myself... (This mainly had to do with the ground and getting it to the point where this was attached to a metal bolt... I am sure I could have (in hindsight) attached it to the factor ground, but to do It according to the information I had - it was painstaking .
Pros: Came with the stereo - helped to remove the paneling - was free
Cons: Didn't give you all the info needed for a complete novice

2010 Malibu Master Sheet
Evan Geno from New Bavaria, OH on 12/7/2012
I understand Crutchfield can not cover every detail of every model of car but it did help geting the door panels and rear deck off the car. Once my door panels were off, I had to get out the Dremel and make my own way to mount my speakers. I wouldn't say this is Crutchfields fault because how could they know. I was able to mount my speaker using the factory plastic housing. I just cut the old speaker out wiht the Dremel and mounted the new speaker over the top of it. If you don't use the factory plastic housing, the speaker's magnet will protrude too far into the door and your window will hit the magnet. Use a Dremel or Jig Saw and cut the speaker housing as well as the lip of the house. The plastic housing should have a flat surface for you to mount the new speaker. Pre drill holes and screw the new speaker onto housing. USE STOCK PLASTIC HOUSING!
Pros: Very detailed instructions.
Cons: Speaker mounting wasn't as simple as the instructions showed. Instructions followed a 2008 Malibu, I own a 2010. Unfortunately with my speaker housing, I could not remove factory speaker without modification.

Pros: great instructional
Cons: one of the bolts was so far inside the steering wheel cover on the bottom that i couldnt get it out even with an extension because it got so tight at the then. Must need some sort of special tapered tool or something....would have been nice to know that! whatever tool you need to get those out with is not listed on the sheet. I still managed to get the front cover of the head unit off though.

Installation Sheet for 2003 Grand Am
satcomranger from Mississippi on 12/4/2012
While somewhat generic, the directions were clear and accurate. I had the rear deck apart quickly. The only drawback was what I knew going in, that the Monsoon system put the bass and treble signals on separate wires. The only thing that could have made the sheet better is if they would have identified the wires. As it was, I researched it on the net and was able to cut the correct wires the first time.
Pros: Accurate instructions. The only thing to make it better would be to identify which wires had bass and which had treble.
Cons: None.

Wasn't entirely accurate, as it said I needed to file down my factory trim piece and, with the only install kit available for my '91 f150 Lariat, no filing was actually necessary. The radio, trim ring, sleeve and mounting bracket all fit behind the factory trim panel. This is partly my fault as I did not test fit everything before I began filing, but I have had good luck with Mastersheets in the past and they gained my trust.

GMC Sierra 1500, 2002
Smedley54 from Arkansas on 11/30/2012
If your truck has manual windows, the door diagrams are incomplete. Note that there is a wire spring "C" type retaining clip on the backside of the crank handle. Service manuals will show a thin scraper-like tool, notched in the middle, used to push the clip off the handle. I was able to use a hooked pick to grab the top of the clip and and pull it free. Then the crank handle will just pull off easily. The speakers I bought are a bit larger than the factory pieces, and I'm still puzzling out the best way to fit them. New mounting holes are needed, but getting the speaker on a mounting ring and setting it in the door properly, so the panel fits without modification or interference, will take some trial and error. Hopefully, this will only require one trip to the hardware store for miscellaneous nuts and bolts.
Pros: Instructions are clear and accurate as far as they go. Crutchfield technical support was very, very good.
Cons: Instructions for my vehicle were incomplete.

Crutchfield Vehicle-specific Instructions
John H from Corpus Christi, TX on 11/29/2012
Pretty good instuctions but needs some supplimental instructions in addition to those included with the custom/semi-universal stereo mount. Everything else was well explained.
Pros: Fairly well detailed instruction for the instalation.
Cons: Needed Cutchfield's own instuctions with the mount.

Master Sheet 2005 G6
DW from Houston, TX on 11/29/2012
This isn't a complete how-to, so if you don't have any idea what to do, have a professional install your stereo for you. Assuming you have enough knowledge to figure out how to install a stereo, this has good information for how to remove the factory parts, but you'll still need the instructions from the wiring adapter and the stereo to make everything work. This might be more useful for someone installing speakers than for a stereo, but it was all included in what I received. Overall, there is some valuable information for how to take out the factory parts.

The Crutchfield Difference
ChipF from Raleigh, NC on 11/29/2012
The MasterSheet was spot on! It take the guess work out of an install. You know exactly what you are getting into and how to open up the vehicle. This is one of the real pluses to buying from Crutchfield. It saves time and helps you avoid mistakes that might ruin expensive dash and trim pieces. Thank You Crutchfield!
Pros: Clear, complete, easy to follow instrictions that walk you though the whole process.
Cons: none

Not correct for all years of integras
Grant from Jacksonville on 11/27/2012
On some integras...you will have styrofoam surrounding the rear speakers. These instructions assume you don't and do not include the instructions for removing the rear seat and panel which you need to do in order to install rear speakers properly in these integras containing styrofoam. The front speaker installation instructions appear to be correct for all integras.
Pros: Front speaker installation correct for all integras
Cons: Rear speaker installation not correct for all integras. Leave out the possibility of styrofoam surrounding the rear speakers requiring additional steps to remove the rear seat and panel.

cnatatlina from Poway,Ca on 11/25/2012
Really like the fact that you gave instructions for the install. Before I just had to find my way. Ended up breaking a clip or something like that. I have not installed yet but will soon.

Terrible
Harold from Rock Island, Il on 11/24/2012
I ahve always bought car electronics from Crutchfield and my last purchase was the worst by far. It was the ONLY purchase I had trouble with. I bought a Python Remote Start and a FLCAN interface. I could not, for the life of me, follow the instructions. Even Utube couldnt help me. The technican finally told me to send it back. It was not the parts but the instructions. I will still buy items from Crutchfield but in the future, I will be sure to find out if I can handle the install.

Speaker master sheet
Paul from Minnesota on 11/23/2012
Sheet does not show how to attach speaker to adapter plate or where to use gasket.
Pros: Very basic info.
Cons: I am a mechanic and took some doing to figure out how to make this speaker and mount plate bolt down to my dash. Drilling more holes was not a option.

Great resource
Zooie from Chicagoland on 11/21/2012
The Mastersheet sure beats scouring the web for sometimes specious info on how to take your car apart. A must-have.
Pros: Great info, great pics.
Cons: For the Honda Fit, I would recommend detaching the power window switch wiring BEFORE taking off the door panel, or it can get awkward.

Simple directions
LRobb from Medford Or on 11/21/2012
When I installed a stereo in my Blazer, these instructions saved my frustration when installing the stereo unit. I also purchased new speakers for all the doors. The instructions covered the install of the speakers and removal and installation of the door panel. Separate vehicle harnesses had to be purchased for the speakers to be installed into the factory wiring. (Later to be removed off of the factory wiring and installed on another amp with separate wiring ran to each speaker.)
Pros: Easy to read. Don't need to be tech savvy. You just need to be no stranger to tools. If you know what a screw driver and a hammer is, these instructions are for you.
Cons: Umm... None!
