·Removing a stereo attached to a rail system
Some vehicle manufacturers mount the factory radio to a guide rail inside the
dash. Once the spring clips or bolts are removed, you can slide the radio off of the
rail. Because this rail can sometimes interfere with the chassis of a new radio, it may
have to be removed too. Something to keep in mind: once this is done, you often
cannot reinstall the factory radio.
Unplugging the factory stereo
If your vehicle has (or once had) a factory stereo, or if it was pre-wired with a
"stereo prep" package, there should be at least one plastic wiring harness behind
the stereo opening. This plug connects the stereo to your vehicle's electrical system
and the speakers. You will need to unplug the factory stereo from the wiring
harnesses, and unplug the antenna to complete the removal process.
With the old radio out of the way, it's time to focus on the new one. That
involves connecting all the wires and then installing the stereo in the dash.
