this is my first time buying a stereo I would like to know if this will fit into a 2005 Nissan Altima and do I have to buy additional items

If they offer and adaptor plate kit, from Amazon, then yes, It will fit. Amazon had everything I needed. I am still impressed with how it looks and sounds. It sounds like a sub-woofer buit right in. If you buy one you will not be disappointed.

As far as I know you must purchase a wiring harness specific to your vehicle. I got mine at walmart. Round $15. One side wires to stereo and other plugs to your factory harness to keep you from having to cut wires. It's pretty simple. You will have to do this with any stereo you buy. This is a good one I think for the money. Not many for the price have bluetooth capability and hd radio. That is why I bought one.

The vehicle has a separate four-connector plug for speaker connections. If your new aftermarket stereo has a single plug, you can still attach both of these to it without issue, as the total number and type of wires is the same, and in some cases you may even have extra wires from the head unit you do not even need, like a power antenna control wire (use a piece of heat shrink tube to bend these back on themselves and keep them from grounding). Everything is color-coded on these and matches all new head units' color-coding so there's no guessing what goes where.

Dear Anthony, If you car is a single din, you should have any problems with installation. everything comes in the box for full installation, you might need to cut some wires but you wont need to buy anything. It should be pretty straight forward. if you have any question please feel free to ask. thank you for you interest. kelvin

It comes with some wires. It comes with the main harness that comes out of the stereo, but you may want to by a supplemental wiring harness that mates with your vehicle's harness. Otherwise you would have to clip wires in your car and match them on your own. So I recommend buying a harness that matches your vehicle. It also comes with a Bluetooth microphone, and a USB extension wire. All other wires, like wires to peripheral monitors or a rear view camera, etc., would be extra...but that's expected. They give you what you need to get started.

I would contact a local car stereo business to make sure. That's what I did before I purchased it for my son's truck. I had previously purchased one that wouldn't fit so call a professional to be sure!

I had one in my 97 Altima that pretty easily replaced the stock radio with help from a wiring harness adapter. It's a standard single DIN size, but some newer cars use 1.5 DIN or double DIN radios. (same width but 'taller' from top to bottom) On the other hand, even for a 1.5 or double DIN dash space you can either buy a larger Pioneer radio or get a mounting adapter. These are great radios especially if you have good HD radio stations nearby. Some other Pioneer rmodels have Bluetooth or Pandora streaming radio capabilities though, if you want easier and wireless connection to your Android or Iphone I enjoy Pandora now but just connect it through the headphone jack and radio faceplate input.

this is a single-din, so you will need to buy a dash kit, which fills the hole in the dash with a pocket, and it supplies the hardware needed to install the pocket. Also, you need a wire harness to connect the sony stereo to your car's factory wiring

Hello. I would recommend taking your vehicle to a local stereo shop to inquire about what is needed to completely install this unit.

Yes...you will need a mounting kit and a harness.....should be able to find both here on amazon....I found the kit and harness for my Nissan sentry and it made installation very easy....good stereo for the money.

Are you replacing a factory radio or do you already have an aftermarket stereo? If factory, you will need kit to install in dash. You will also need a factory harness adapter so you do not cut into the factory stereo harness

Hello. This stereo comes with the correct harness for the radio. It does not include the harness for the vehicle. You will have to purchase the vehicle wiring harness separate. This harness can be purchased on this site or from a local stereo shop.

The first thing to check is if you can find an installation kit for your year/model of car. This will be a plastic piece that fills in the space of your dashboard where the existing factory stereo is installed. Next you want to make sure you can get a wiring harness for your year/model car. This receiver is a common size that would fit most any car in my opinion.

No you don't. This metra wires are made for your car speakers, if your car comes from factory with 4 speakers, your original harness is already ready with the connections and this harness is just going to adapt to you new stereo.

All stereos come with their own harness to plug into itself, you need to buy a harness to attach to the radio's one. Look up on amazon "2004 Nissan Altima Stereo Wire Harness" and you'll find a few. Metra is a brand I've used before and it was well put together. I would solder them together and cover with heat shrink, but you can use solder-less connectors if you wish.

It comes with a harness that has the connector for the stereo on one end and loose wires on the other. You will need to provide the connector that mates to your car. Some older cars need an antenna adapter, too.
