Hello I just bought a 01 bullitt and it has the mach 460 system in it I wanted to get nav in it but they told me that it had to be rewired?? and told me it would be 100+ dollars to do just the rewire thats no equipment, how hard is it to rewire the car myself I am just curious if anyone has some pointers or maybe a website that could help me out thank you for your time !

Are you getting the combo stereo/nav system? If so you should only need a harness and the line converter to run the amps with the new unit.

It's not super hard if you have done it before or have installed car audio equipment before. Mach 460 delete's just takes a lot of time and patience. You gonna install new amps too?

You can swap the head unit and not change the rest of the system f you want. Are you wanting to gut the whole system or just install another HU?

+1 alot of these pro-shops will want to rip out everything mach460 related and put all new wiring, speakers, etc. However, you can simply take out the HU and use a wiring harness adapter to put a new aftermarket HU in while utilizing the old wiring and amps. if you got a bit of patience and logic skills, you can save a nutload of money by installing the new HU yourself without riping everything out.
