cd player removal and installation

It is a little more complex than that. There are a few things that need to be removed if you want to do it without bending/breaking.

1. Remove the center console piece that goes around gear shifter. Should be a couple screws on either side, and a few inside the storage box/arm rest.

2. Remove the plastic cover beneath the steering wheel, the speaker should come along with it. There are a few screws along the top underneath the instrument cluster, and some on the bottom corners as well. The light reostat will have to be unplugged, and the hood release removed. Remove the glove box and the speaker on that side as well.

3. Now only the center trim remains, there are screws at the top corners and screws on the sides near the bottom. When the screws are out tilt it forward, and then disconnect the cig lighter and cruise switch if you have one there. Then lift up to clear the gear shifter and you're done.

You could avoid some of the steps if you undo just a few screws, and push things out of the way. Hope this helps.

 

try three down each side, and two in the box (you will have to move each seat full forward and full back to reach them)

you will have to remove the glovebox too (via two screws on the hinge) and then the 10mm bolt holding the bottom bar across (or you could remove the entire bar but its easy to bend out of the way by just removing the bolt on the left [/quote]

the deck itself is easy with just four screw facing straight once you get the bezel out of the way

 

It's super easy though...really...just a bunch of screws...

Better than clips that can be broken easily!

 

True that, ive takin apart my console so many times, i can take it appart in bout 15 minutes to take out tha radio

 

Do you really have to restate everything that I just said schmoot?

And all those black screws do make for an easy job - just put less back in to make it faster next time

 

That's how schmooot rolls....you'll learn

 

sorry you said it good...there were just a couple screws you were missing

 

I can do it in 5 minutes... but I have been through 3 celicas, all of which I did work behind the dash on cd players, heater motor/controller, v1 install, cluster light replacement, harness removal, etc... I spend too much time on this car.

 

Yeah...I can do it in 5 seconds!

 

Ya, evidently so could the fucker that stole my stereo! Wouldn't be so bad but he took the stereo mounting brackets! No respect, zero. Fuckin tweekers!

 

I have an extra set of bracket's if you need em! I made sure I took them from the parts gts I had because I'd need em one day, or someone would..lol

 

Never tried them but they should help the base a bit. if your going to put them under the front seats then you will be taking away any space that passengers(midgets) in the back seats may have had for foot room.

 

Man, some good 6x9's will provide the same bass as those things... don't spend $280 on two of those when you can invest in a decent 4 channel amp and some nice 6x9 speakers for your back deck.....

 

for bass , heard of bass shakers ? aka ( tactile transducers) , ive got pair of aura pro shakers just lying in my room ,
you can mount them under seats and etc ,
kinda cool im putting mine in a couch in my room once i get enough space for a couch lol ,
but yeah thats any idea and no one will know the are under your seats , if you wanna know what im look like ,
just ask and ill get up a pic, they dont make n e noise lol just thump away , best to screw them into plywood that is mounted under the seat etc
and yes you can feel the thump is playing music too loud and too much power and setup right they can be ur bum go numb lol something im gonna try once i get mine setup on a movie the room , n e wae no ones car about that soo ill just shut up
