Done a few, realllllyyy depends on the car.
If it's got a standard DIN/double-DIN head unit then it's usually fairly straightforward, but these are becoming more rare.
If it's fully integrated with the car and not a 'standalone-style' unit stuck in there, then it gets more complex. There are sometimes third party units that get buried in the dash or replace part of the dash (I know this is an option for Falcon/Territory) that also take over the HVAC and other controls, but your mileage may vary and install can get pretty tricky.
Mines got an info system in the dash above the radio which is why I loathe to touch it. Such a pain cause as I said I'd just do it myself, but I'd rather not end up costing myself more money by accidentally crossing my wires.
