 Video Demonstration Radio Removal

 Here are the pictures that he sent us of his install below ( thanks William). The only problem that he had was that when we sent the kit to him we did not send the screws ( our fault ) so he used some screws that he had and he over tighten one of the screws to much that he used and it dimpled the front of the kit ( see the bottom right side of kit ).

Step 1: Remove the 2 a/c vent screws- There are two screws, one in each A/C vent. Rotate the vent until the vanes are exactly horizontal. You should be able to see a notch in the bottom center inside the vent. If you can't see it, rotate the vent around 180 degrees. The screw is a black standard Phillips head and isn't the easiest thing to see in the dark. A flashlight can help. A magnetic screwdriver helps to get them out of the vents.

  Step 2: Remove Factory bezel- There are 9 press fittings holding the bezel in place. There are two at the top (above the vents) , two on the sides (even with the vents), two on the sides of the radio (even with the radio), two on the sides below the a/c controls, and one centered at the bottom. I started at the bottom and using a slow steady force pulled the bezel loose  (at the button of the bezel there are two notches that you can use a flat head and ply back on) , then work your way all the way around the bezel. . 

Step 3: Unplug factory controls-Unplug window controls, hazard switch, Clock and unhook a/c cables- Start at the top. Remove the clock cable by pressing down on the release on the plug on the bottom side and pulling the plug out. Next is the power windows cable. There is a red plastic lock on this plug. The lock is pushed upward (not away!) from the bottom side of the plug to release it. Once unlocked, the release tab on the right side is pressed and the plug can be pulled out. The defroster-hazard cluster cable comes out the same way as the clock cable. Next remove the heater cables.

Step 4: Remove The Factory Radio- Four torx screws on the corners hold the radio in place. Use a T-15 torx head driver. The radio comes right out. There are three cables on the back: the antenna wire and the two radio harness plugs. The harness plugs each have a press release on the top while the antenna wire just pulls out. 

Step 5: Remove components from factory bezel- Remove the a/c vents and controls (a/c vents have 3 screws each and the controller has 4, save these they will be reused) from factory bezel using a Phillips head. Unsnap the window controls and defroster-hazard cluster.

Step 6: Re-install every thing that you just removed from the factory bezel to the new aftermarket bezel. 

Step 7: Mount brackets-Next secure the supplied double din brackets to the new aftermarket bezel using supplied screws. 

Step 8: Mount the aftermarket radio to the brackets ( using the supplied screws that came with your aftermarket radio) , leave the screws loose. Adjust the depth of the radio until it sits perfectly flush (or where you like it) with the front bezel face. Then tighten down the screws.

Step 9: Wire the aftermarket radio harness to the harness supplied using butt connectors or solder wiring together .

Step 10: Plug in aftermarket radio harness to aftermarket radio & install harness to factory radio plug. Plug in all factory controls and reconnect a/c cables. 

Step 11: Connect antenna adapter to factory antenna end & aftermarket radio. 

Step 12: Snap main dash bezel back into dash.

Step 13: Install screws into a/c vents that retain the dash. 

Our Double Din kits are design for use with USA Standard Double Din radio models only that are 180mm x 100mm. Some China radio models will not work with this kit. Please Double Check the size of your aftermarket radio before purchasing this kit. Boss and Eonon radios are notorious for being oversized, please be extremely careful when purchasing these radios.
