how would you take out the radio?
(2000 civic)
the dealer wants to charge $100 for it.

 

if you are taking it out to replace the radio, buy a dash kit. you need it anyway and it has instructions on how to do it.
and im sure someone here has covered it, but im not searching for you

 

just to get at the serial lol. i've tried googling it...didn't hit anything.

 

$100?? wtf is up with that guy....

 

if you havent found it by tomorrow, i can tell you then....im not at work now. but im sure its on here somewhere......

edit: if its what i think it is....
1- open glove box, remove 2 screws on left side (they attach the lower center part of the dash)
2- remove cover below steering wheel (3 screws), remove 2 screws on right side (again, for the center part of the dash)
3- remove 2 screws from above cig. lighter (thats the center part of the dash i was talking about), and remove the lower center part of the dash
4- should be 2 8mm bolts (silver) kinda exposed below radio, remove those.
5- whole radio, a/c bezel part should unsnap and unplug now....but not very easily. be very careful if you try to pry that out of the dash, its very easy to tear the vinyl.
i think thats it.......

its easy as hell. Buy the dash kit from circuit city or best buy and it has instruction. Off the top of my head I believe you have to remove the trim around shifter. and some screws that are around there. then pull the ash tray thing out . Basically you want to under the radio where there are four screws holding radio in. When you remove screw, pull the whole dash out. Its gonna be hard cause there are still retaining clips but it will come on. then just install dash kit. haha have fun dissasembling dash and A/C buttons to install kit. Esay as hell though I've done it tons of times.

This site shows how to replace the radio but just follow the begining of the directions and you should be able to get it out. Not too hard.
