How to remove a radio
Your car radio is on the fritz and you want to get it repaired. Sure you could go to a big box store and pay them to put in a replacement. But if you like your factory radio and want another one just like it, it’ll have to come out—which is easier said, than done.
The issue is that dash trim has to come off first, and there’s usually a “key” piece of trim that has to come off first. In addition, you might want to invest in a set of “dash tools.” Harbor Freight sells a set of nylon pry bars for less than $10.
Where do you get directions? These guys: www.carstereoremoval.com. They charge less than $4 for a complete set of instructions with photos. They also show you how to remove door panels to replace speakers. They sell accessories and offer a factory radio repair service. I’ve used their site and found their instructions to be worth every penny.
