Remove Factory Radio
STEP 1: Locate and remove two (2) phillips screws that secure the top of the plastic panel that covers the radio and air conditioner controls. They should be located next to the air conditioner vent levers directly above the (2) air conditioner vents. Pull the plastic panel gently from the top to remove it from the dash.
STEP 2: The radio will be held in with two (2) 7mm bolt screws; one on each side of the radio. Remove both.
STEP 3: To remove the radio, pull firmly. Unplug all connectors (1 blue, 1 white, 1 black) from the rear of the radio. Unplug the antenna cable from the rear of the radio. The radio is now free to be removed from the dash panel.
STEP 4: Since the opening is so big in the dash, The Install Doctor recommends using the plastic mounting bracket attached to the bottom of the radio just removed.
This bracket can then be attached to the bottom of the plastic radio installation kit and assure that this kit is properly aligned and secured to the dash.
Mounting The Radio To A Kit
STEP 1:
Connect all necessary wires or the wire harness connectors together. Plug in the antenna cable into the new radio.
Slide the radio and kit into the opening in the dash. Secure the installation kit with the same two (2) 7mm bolt screws that originally held in the auto makers factory radio.
STEP 2:
Reattach the plastic dash panel that covers the radio and air conditioner controls.
The installation is now complete
Wiring Instructions:
The power and speaker wires needed to connect the new radio are attached to the connector of the wire harness located inside the vehicles dash. The Install Doctor STRONGLY recommends using an optional snap on wire harness that is specifically designed to snap into the vehicles dash wire harness connector. This will keep you from cutting the vehicles wires. This optional snap on wire harness will have wires on the opposite side of the connector that will allow you to splice these wires to the new radios wires. The only other option is to cut off the vehicles dash wire harness connector and splice the new radios wires directly to these wires. The optional snap on wire harness takes all the guess work out of trying to figure out what each wire is in the vehicles dash wire harness. The optional snap on wire harness tell you what each wire is.
