Can anyone help me on how to install an aftermarket HU. I have a NON-monsoon system right now. I wanna save me money by doing it myself but I know nothing on how to go about it.
What year is your GA?
There are some very handy threads stuck at the top of this section that describe how to do so. If the information posted confuses you I highly suggest having it professionally installed.

2000 GA with non-Monsoon is pretty easy. First you need the following:
HU with harness
Dash Kit (1.5 DIN, I recommend the 4000)
Wiring Harness
Some way to attach wires (tape is a big NO)
Antenna Adapter
Remove the radio bezel by getting your fingers underneath it (top right corner works very well) and work your way around trying not to pull up too hard in one spot. Watch out for the ignition trim ring. You may want to unhook the hazard and ETS clips from the bezel.
Remove the three screws holding the old radio in place, I tihnk it's a 10mm. Take that out and remove the harness from the back of the radio.
Get the aftermarket HU harness and the one you bought put together, wire colors should match up. Hook this to your HU and the stock harness and hook up the antenna adapter. Push these wires down the hole near the right side of the radio for space.
Get it all squared away and you're done!

PFYC may have the right one, but you might have to check with the HU maker to get the right module.
