Hard? Well, the only hard part was figuring out the wiring.

First, I ran 1 wire from the battery to the radio. You need to take out the rear seats as well as the front passenger mats. After running the red wire from the battery through the grommet hole, and down the back seat, I used fishing wire from the front footwell to the rear seat to pull the wire through. THat took care of power.

I ordered an M-Class harness from BeckerAutoSound.com, cut it, and soldered the Alpine connector to it (as I installed an alpine unit). I have all of the info as to what goes where. Lastly, I connected the red power wire I just ran to the power wire on the alpine harness.

It is best to just bypass the factory amps. I unplugged them (right side of trunk) and and ran jumper from input to output on the harness (I have that info also).

The radio fit perfectly into the opening. You'll need an antenna adapter for the radio... got mine at circuit city.

I can get more in depth if you want to do this.
