I installed a new CD player/radio in my SVX a few years ago. I had NEVER installed a car radio before, and using the information from this site I was able to do the whole job in about 3 hours. The most time consuming part was cutting and stripping all of the wires from the factory harness and matching them to the wires from the new unit. The wires on the new unit were all labeled, but I had to download and print a chart of what all the wires in the car's harness were for. Just remember: there are two antenna cables on the SVX. One is for the power antenna, the other is for the window embedded antenna. Both of these cables can easily be disconnected by pulling down the carpet on the drivers side of the center console, near the ashtray area. Disconnect both of the black antenna wires under there. Other wise you won't be able to pull the old radio out.
