You can go to a stereo shop and buy an adaptor so that you do not have to cut any wires, it is an easy plug and play, or just have them install it and they might charge you around 30 bucks.
If you are going to do it yourself (first pull the radio fuse or disconnect the negative battery cable), just cut off the harness for the stock stereo and connect the wires from the new stereo. The usual setup is: 8 wires for the speakers (each has a positive and negative), one constant power, one power when the key is on, one ground, one remote and rca wires for amp. Some also have extra wires for dimmer and power antenna. Its not hard to do, Good luck.
