installing a new radio

Looking to buy a new stereo for my 03 acura TL-S. My oem/original's cd player died.

Will probably get:
http://www.amazon.com/Pioneer-FHX-72...iglink20955-20

But am curious if I need to buy anything else other than the stereo. Hoping its a simple unplug my old radio and use the existing wires to plug into this new one? Or do I need to do some extra wiring?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Go to crutchfield.com and fill in your car and stereo and they will tell you the wiring harness you need. Then go to amazon and buy it for cheaper

You will have to do a little custom wiring to get the OEM sub to work but its not hard.
