ry92grandprixse Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 I got my new (stock) cd player and I want it in already! How do I remove the dash area so I can get the cassette player out?! Quote
digitaloutsider Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 I'm guessing this is your '92. Remove driver side kneeboard. (trim under steering column) Pull the glove box door all the way down. (wiggle the hinges until it falls all the way down) Remove 4 7mm bolts on each side of the bezel. Remove 4 10mm bolts and pull the radio out. (or remove the bottom 2, and remove the radio, removing the top two once it's out) If it's the '94, it could be just as easy as popping trim off. That's how my Bonneville is anyway. Quote
ry92grandprixse Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Posted July 31, 2005 I'm guessing this is your '92. Nono... the 92 is stock 4eva! If it's the '94, it could be just as easy as popping trim off. That's how my Bonneville is anyway. Ok I will give that a try I'm just scared of breaking that plastic trim! Quote
ry92grandprixse Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Posted July 31, 2005 Ok I got the top part loose but I can't get the bottom part of the trim down by the console to come with it. And I bent one of those damn clips so now the right side doesn't go back in :oops: Damn you GM! I knew I should have just sold the car with the non working cassette player and just let whoever buys it put in the new radio! Quote
ry92grandprixse Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Posted July 31, 2005 Am I going to have to take the console out to get this trim to come off, because everytime I keep trying it just seems to go down towards the cubby / console and won't move anymore. I'm almost ready to get a electric saw, and cut this d@mn plastic piece in half yank out the radio, put the new one in and take it to the body shop monday morning and go get me a new one of these and call me when you can install it! :oops: Me Red Devil (The 94) Quote
DiscoStudd Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Okay, first you need to remove the upper console, and that requires you to remove the shift knob first. Look in the front of the knob for a "staple" shaped clip. Pry the clip out with a small screwdriver, then pull the knob straight up and off. Open the console lid, then pry up around the upper console and remove it. Look for 2 screws on the bottom of the radio trim plate. Remove those screws and the plate pops right off. Pry it from the bottom though, cause there are 2 small tabs holding it in place at the top... Quote

ry92grandprixse Posted July 31, 2005 Author Report Posted July 31, 2005 Wuss.. Pretty much! It's my job to buy them and keep them clean... its dad's and the dealerships job to keep them running and fix anything that breaks! This emotiocon probably has more mechanical knowledge then I do! I wouldn't even know where to begin if I tried to change my own oil :oops: And sure I can jack the car up, take the tire off and put a spare on but why that's what I pay for roadside assistance for Quote
Prospeeder Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 Chiltons manual! read ho to change ur oil, and other maintnence, it will save u money when ur dads gone and ur moved away Quote
GP1138 Posted July 31, 2005 Report Posted July 31, 2005 :gone2far: I can safely say that you're a wuss if you can't change oil or a spare tire. Saying "that's what roadside assistance is for" is borderline retarded. There will eventually be a time that calling roadside assistance will be counterproductive and you'll HAVE to do it yourself. Get out there and change a tire now, as penance. Quote

ry92grandprixse Posted August 20, 2005 Author Report Posted August 20, 2005 I finally got it installed Quote
THe_DeTAiL3R Posted August 20, 2005 Report Posted August 20, 2005 Installing my Kenwood deck w/ the Walmart kit was one of the easiest things I've ever done to my car. I'd rather change another deck than do something as physical as rotate the tires. Quote
