Stereo trim/front panel removal

[sirbleakers]

Newbie here,

Could someone please point me in the direction of some instructions as to how to take the front panel surrounding my stereo, a/c unit etc off, as I need to install a band expander to the back of the jap stereo, but can't work out how to get to it! Its a 96 3.0TD

Many many thanks

Hi, I went to an autoradio installer and asked how to take it out.


lol


replacing the radio was the first thing I did ...

On the 2nd gen. ( very similar to the 3rd) you need to open the drawer, take 4 screws off and the big 1 at the bottom.

remove the passenger side bottom frame. Remove the pins at the side of the bottom central frame, remove this, remove the central frame after removing the air controls; then unscrew the bottom frame / driver side.
In the centre, you should see a metal case with 4 screws holding the radio. Remove them and you can take the radio off.
