Hi You question is not clear. I recommend to watch a YouTube video that can guide you better

You do not have to take wires out, there is a 3-wire connector that is taped up in the harness. You only need to expose the connector so you can plug into it.

You will have to pull the head unit out and connect this into the wiring harness between the radio and where the harness plugs into your vehicles factory wiring. It's not difficult, but you may need to solder or re-crimp the connections depending on how your wiring harness adapter is installed. I would think that Best Buy or a local car stereo shop would do the install for a few $ if you don't want to mess with it.

You need a mount and a wire harness adapter to hookup the radio. You will also need an adapter if you have radio steering wheel controls and wish to keep them. All of these are vehicle specific and shouldn't run more than $75 for the three. If you plan to run an Ipod DON'T buy any of the hookups that are for sale here, just go buy a 3.5mm to 3.5mm (male to male) cable and a USB to Ipod cable from Walmart or wherever and use those. It was the only way I ever got mine to work.

No instructions you just plug it in to the back of the radio and secure the rest of the antenna somewhere

that will work if you you can find the speaker wire or you can take out the radio and splice the wires.

If you can get to the antenna plug in on the side or back of the radio you just unplug it and plug this unit in and then the antenna plugs into the rectangular part of the piece. Sometimes you might have to take the radio out but try not to...probably will cut your hands a few little places trying to do this but that is how you do it. Hope this helps.

In the back of the factory head unit, there were three outlets with wire harnesses plugged in. Two of the harnesses matched the Metra 70-7550 perfectly and the third harness had only a couple wires and it was for the CD player of the head unit. I did not use this third harness when installing the new stereo. The new stereo harness matched all the wires of the Metra 70-7550 with the exception that the Metra harness had a set of orange wires, which the new radio harness did not. The orange wires are for the dimming function for the lights of the radio display so the display of the radio would dim when you dimmed the interior lights. I wasn't about to cut into the vehicles main harness to hook this up so I didn't. Just be sure to match all wires color for color to the Metra and you will have a quick and painless install. All in all, probably about 8 to 10 sets of wires I connected if I remember correctly. Sorry for the long answer but I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Every car is going to be slightly different, but i'd suggest youtubing how to pop off your 05 hyundia Elantra dashboard so you can get to your radio's wires. Simply splice (you can pick up splices at walmart or any hardware store) the black wire to the radios black wire, and the red to red! Hopefully this made sense and helped.

You should buy a radio harness for your particular vehicle. This will make the job much easier, and will make it so you don't have to splice wires behind your dash. The radio harness will be a connector (or two) that plug into your stock radio harness, and the wires from that kit you will solder/connect to the wires on the two connectors that come with this radio. You may also need an antenna wire, which lets you connect your car's antenna to the stereo's antenna connector. And you will probably also need a "dash kit" for your particular vehicle, since most vehicles do not have normal sized car stereos. You should buy a radio harness for your particular vehicle.

Your going to need a harness no matter what, basically that harness plugs up to your original radio wire harness

I needed an adapter harness from existing wiring to radio's socket but nothing for the antenna

This plugs into vehicle wiring harness. Wires will thin match new colors on radio pig tail. Wires will need to be connected securely . I soldered mine.

Yes, this will piggy back off of your radio so it is wired in directly. I used the wire harness that you can find on parrot's website and it was plug and play. As for the box maybe you are talking about the blue box that is the brains of the system it is not a large box and I just left it behind the the radio inside the dash.

You have to take it to a CB shop and have the radio converted then aligned.This radio is actually an amateur ham .

The power source's plugs needs to be cut and you insert the wires. Your best bet is to check youtube for videos on how to wire the whole thing up. There's a few great ones on there that break it down for you.
