I have an '01 maxima and I installed a Pioneer Deh-P7800 with the ipod adapter. I installed and wired everything, and I would say it wasn't that difficult. I ordered mine from Crutch_ield, so the install instructions came with it along with the DASH KIT and the WIRING HARNESS which you will need also. I did have some problems with the flat head metric screws that held the radio to the mount bracket, as they were so tight they wouldn't break loose and I ended up having to slot them with a dremel cutoff wheel to get enough torque on them to get them out. They weren't needed for the new installation. The wiring kit enables you to wire everything outside of your car where it is much easier to work and then simply plug it into the car. Get a good set of wire strippers and a good set of crimpers. Use butt connectors and make sure you crimp them good. Nothing to be afraid of, just leave yourself ample time to work on it so you can take your time and do it right. Nothing quite as satifying to me as finishing an install myself.
