Car Radio Installation Part 1 – Removing Your Existing Radio

October 28th, 2009 No comments

Remove your in-dash car radio is generally quick and easy. Removal and installation are carried out most of the passenger seat if you are right. Some, but only a small number of cars, will require the dash around the radio as the radio can be removed instead of screws.

Your first step is to give you remove the original radio. Pay special attention to the individual steps, such conversion is simply a reversal of removal.

There are several radio assemblyMethods between the various car manufacturers. However, the majority of factory radios will have either secured in a metal sleeve (also known as cage) of two or four securing clips that you push inward on the radio to release it, or the same method, without sleeves.

For radio equipment which have either one or two small round holes on both sides of the radio, you can find the standard (DIN) Radio Removal Keys for use in all car accessory shops or websites.

DINRadio-tools release most of the radios, and of pre-2004 Fiat, Ford, Land Rover, MG, Peugeot, Rover models and many brands of radios. Simply insert the key into the holes until it clicks into place (for radios with only two holes, you can simply turn) key. Some radios will be amended to remove four small Allen screws (with a 2 mm or 5 / 64 allen wrench) before you can insert the removal keys. I believe these are simply a safety measure.

Now press the buttons slightly outward, awayon the radio this will push the retaining spring clips inwards. Now pull on the removal key to remove the radio. Some radios are a bit stubborn, but a little perseverance paid off.

Some factory-installed radios are available by securing the screws on the sides of the radio is kept. This type of assembly concept is primarily on Japanese cars and these radios can be installed behind the dash that surrounds the radio. Most radios have to support some kind of backwards, but that isMore often than not, only a push fit.

If you disconnect the radio away from the sleeve, the air and factory wiring harness connector.

If you try to be problems with the removal of radios, mounted behind the dashboard encounter ring your local dealer. Ask for the service department and ask to speak with a technician, as they tend to advise you. On the other hand, you can always have a Haynes manual.
