Head Unit Bracket?

Post by WykedHellFire » Tue May 01, 2007 5:28 pm

Ive had my head unit for some time now, but when I went to walmart to get the kit thing to install it, it had alot of pieces i dunno if im just :tardbang: or something but it seemed complicated...and I might need a new kit soon because I think I broke the one I got trying to get it to work. maybe I should have it installed somewhere? or maybe somebody will know of an easier kit or maybe some directions on how to put it on right...im tired of my stereo just lying there. any help is welcomed!

take out vents, climate knobs, take off HVAC bezel , take out old radio,.. in your kit you should have the trim to fit the smaller radio, and a metal sleeve thing., put metal sleeve through the FRONT of the trim thats gonna be used to hold the radio.. bend metal tabs on sleeve so its secure and sits flush with the trim.. then you can pull your wiring through the assembly before putting it in the "hole" and screwing the new trim in place.. attach wires harness to back of radio, slide radio in, (mine had another thin trim to snap on to cover the sleeve edge/lil gap on the front around the radio)
put HVAC bezel back on, vents in, done....


someone correct me if im wrong or missed something. im pretty sure thats right, working from memory... i wrestled with it too first time i did it..

walmart prolly wont sell your kit since a 00+, its oval shaped with four screw holes, what they most likely have is the sqare kit that the 95-99's use, but if they do have it here ya go buddy:

Def dont go to wal mart for the kits, Try out a local audio shop and get the kit specified for your car.
