My 2013 Avalon's radio display has bitten the dust, so need a radio. I looked at Crutchfield and see what radio I want and all of that jazz buy I'm not even remotely mechanically inclined. How difficult is this to do even with the instructions?

Pay them the extra few dollars for the plug and play vehicle specific wire harness and it should be plug and play wires and a few bolts around the dash.

They give step by step directions to all of it. They will even sit on the phone with you and walk you through it of you want. Crutchfield is the absolute best way to go

Once I ordered a headunit and thought I was missing a pack of screws. Called them just to confirm the size so that I could go to Lowe's or somewhere and buy replacements. Found them under a flap in the box as I was on the phone and the guy said he would stay on the phone while I checked to make sure they fit. Told him it may be 30 minutes because I wasn't even to that step and he was like no problem I will just wait if you want. Changing headunits in 90% of cars is pretty freaking easy with their directions. They show where all the screws/fasteners are. Even point out the hidden spots that may be tricky

Is your factory radio a JBL system, navigation, touch screen? Dependent upon what factory radio you have it may or may not be worth the hassle or not recommended to install a aftermarket radio.

The factory radio and part of the dash is one pretty big piece but they do make a install kit for some 2013 Avalon but no all radio options.
