Circuit City runs quite a scam online. A lot of the car stereos come with free installation. The catch is that you have to buy $64 worth of installation equipment for the store to install it. Therefore installation really isn't free. I got tricked and was forced to pay the $64 since I had already bought the equipment and needed it installed quickly. Here's what it cost:
Sony CDX-GT310 $107.99
Installation Parts $64
Shop Fee $4.99
Total Including Tax $185
I probably could have got a CD player with a USB port from Crutchfield and installed it myself.
To install the AEM short ram intake the negative battery terminal should be disconnected. I believe the reason is to reset the ECU after installing the short ram intake. The problem with disconnecting the battery is that the stock in-dash CD player for a 99 Civic EX requires a anti-theft radio code. Since the car was bought used, I didn't have the radio code. After calling the dealership the only way to get the radio code is to get the serial number from the bottom of the in-dash CD player. Getting to this serial number is not that easy since the whole console needs to be removed. After debating the issue, I decided to just get a new CD player so that I can play MP3 CDs and add an auxiliary connection to plug in an external MP3 player. That's when I ran into the Circuit City scam. Just be aware that the final cost is going to be a bit more than what the online receipt shows, if you have the store install it.
I do have a PDF file that shows how to install the stereo, so if you need it, send me a note.
