Thinking of changing car stereo... is it easy??

[jooulez]

I'm thinking of changing the factory built in stereo in my Fusion for a more up to date unfactory fitted one.  I know I'll need a harness adaptor (Halfords words not mine!) & was wondering can this be done by a complete novice like me??  I have knowledge of household electrics, & not sure if this will be a help or hinderence? LOL  The 1 I am thinking of getting doesn't have a CD player or DAB but does have an AUX in & USB port, which is the main reason for wanting to change over, as I've been told that these 2005 fusions have something missing so that you can't add a AUX port to the existing factory fitted stereo.

Hopefully someone out there can help!

Thanks!!!

On my Fusion (07 plate) I bought an aux adapter for the factory stereo which is the Ford 6000 CD model. 

Easy to install; just need special keys to remove the stereo then simply plug the adapter / wire in at the rear of it and route it through the glove box.
