It wasn't super difficult for me. But then again, I am pretty technically inclined, and I really enjoy doing this kind of work. The instructions that Crutchfield sends with this part are pretty good and, for most people, they should be all that is needed to install this part. The only hard part is securing the radio unit to the inside of the dashboard. For my 2004 Mazda 6, there are two plastic pieces behind the radio that you will need to use. This part comes with two screws, and you need to use those screws to screw in the radio unit (after you attach the black housing that comes with this part). For me, I could only get one screw to hold the unit in place because one of the plastic pieces already had a large hole in it and it was too big for the screw. The radio unit was only held loosely by that screw, but once I snapped on the new faceplate (this part), it was all pretty snug. I hope that helps. Overall I'm pretty satisfied. It may not be a factory fit but in my car it looks really nice and clean.
