Default 2012 stereo install ?

Getting ready to tackle an install on the stereo. I have a 2012 non infinity system. I am putting in the pioneer avh-p44000-bh, infinity basslink and the polk db6501s, db6501, speakers. I am pretty mechanically inclined but am a novice when it comes to wiring. I ordered everything from Crutchfield so I know the install instructions should be fine. I am worried and somewhat intimidated by doing the steering wheel control module and wiring and all the wiring in general! my question is this: is this something a novice can do in a reasonable amount of time or should I just let a pro do it. If I go the pro route how much for an install?

You can do it!

After you're done you'll wonder why you were so worried to begin with, just follow the instructions!

And you should be able to wire everything up beforehand, then do the install (if you bought the wiring harness, which I'm assuming you did because you said you bought from Crutchfield)

As long as you are comfortable with soldering and heat shrink and you aren't colorblind it should be a cake walk.
