Alpine 9855R

Can anyone please help me?

I bought the Alpine 9855R yesterday with the Alpine KCA-420 kit. When installing the head unit I've read some where in one of these forum posts that the stereo needs a permanent live (being an Alpine), and the one connected to the standard head unit is not good enough. Does this mean the head unit needs some special kind of installation? Or does it just fit in using the additional harness, aerial and fascia adaptor. I have MFSW on my car and want to keep this as well.

I'm going to order all the fascia adaptors and leads from Mike at NewMiniStuff tomorrow, and am considering doing the install myself, but dont want to ruin anything! If its going to be difficult then I will drive up (from Birmingham) and get Mike to fit instead.

Sorry if I haven't made any sense but I haven't carried out any car stereo installs before and am a complete beginner!

Thanks and any help will of course be greatly appreciated.
