I guess I'm curious as to what I need, the car gets stored for the winter, I want to use that time to do it, it'll give me 6 months to do it and get all the things I need, I plan on doing the door speakers as well, I don't want to add any options like have orbcamera to the car but I want all current options to remain the same, if that's not possible ill stick with my ugly screen lol

If you buy the MVI harness and send the radio to be programmed then you can install everything in a couple hours.

If you program the radio yourself, I would plan on a couple hours to disassemble the radio, program the chip and reassemble it.

Building the wiring harness yourself takes a little more time, and you need experience soldering and crimping tiny connectors. But, it's not that hard.
