Need some help in choosing a new head unit for my 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser. Stock system in the truck now. Speakers have been replaced/upgraded a few years ago with some alpines no idea what model. The options I think I need are, cd. mp3, IPod w/usb, radio station push button, the ability to change the head unit color to green to match the rest of the dash. I'll also need a dash kit and wiring harness they tell me. I have not idea where to start. I would like to find all the parts and pieces and then have them all installed, is this realistic? If so who would I look for to do the install. Would a Audio store do something like this or do I have to buy everthing from them. I have called around town to check prices, basic unit installed with everything I outlined, in the ball park of $250.00-300.00 give or take a few bucks. Could I save any $$$'s getting the equipment on my own? Thank you all for the help and feedback, great site I will be asking a lot of question down the road on this project.

Somtimes its cheaper, sometimes not. Installs cost anywhere from Free to 70 bucks.. The biggest problem is install kits and wiring harnesses are worth maybe 50 cents a piece, but they will want to charge 20 bucks a piece for them. also make sure you go to a place that will ahve lifetime warrenties on installs and keep the recipt. Mom and pop shops dont usually do this. Added benefit is if something goes wrong with the HU then they will troubleshoot it for you, and most times fix the problem. Depending on the unit it could be cheaper could not, i would need to know what unit your looking at. Somtimes its cheaper to buy it somwhere else and drop it off somewhere you trust..
