Finally had enough with the stock AM/FM/Cassette radio...so I got a Scion CD/MP3/WMA/Sat radio T1807 made by Pioneer (Model DEH-M8057ZT) fer cheap on eBay ($41 shipped). I will have to git some extra adapters to make the SAT/Aux work. It's double DIN so I end up losing the extra tray under the radio but I think I can deal with that fer now.
Removal of the stock radio is pretty simple.
Pull out the drink tray a little bit.
Work the bezel out starting from the bottom. This is held in place with 4 spring clips. Work bezel around the drink tray.
Push the drink tray back in so you don't break it.
Unscrew the 4 screws that holds the radio in.
Remove antenna cable and wiring harness from the rear of the radio.
Remove the 4 screws that holds the brackets to the radio. I would recommend a 10mm nut driver to take these off since they are in pretty tight and a phillips screwdriver isn't gonna cut it without stripping.
You will have to remove some material from the front edge of the bracket because it will hit the front panel of the new radio. I did this by just scraping the offending corner on the driveway a few times until there was enough clearance...about 10 times. Repeat on the other bracket.
Bolt the bracket to the sides of the new radio. Since you only have 2 screws per side, you could go to the store and git 4 more screws or just screw the existing screws to the front part of the bracket. Yer choice...
You will have to modify the bezel to clear the new radio. I got mine with a modified bezel done so I just compared it to the original bezel. Looks like it was just trimmed on the sides with a dremel tool to make the clearance.
I had to disconnect the plugs from the external amp to connect to the new radio. Not sure how I'm gonna hook up the factory subwoofer now. Guess that's something I'll have to work on later.
Connect up the wiring harness and antenna cable to the new radio. Make sure the harness isn't rubbing up against anything and push the radio in place. Starting with the upper right screw, install the radio.
Pull out the drink tray and install the bezel. Push the drink tray in. Presto! Only about 30 minutes from start to finish if you trim the bezel before hand. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
