As the title says, im having a hard time taking out the factory junk out of my 90.
Thanks in advance
(i already searched around, didnt find much at all)

 

wow, this isnt that hard.

 

Its not that its hard or anything, but i cant get the dash out, the main peice that stretches from the consol to the steering column, i was reading on 6 or so bolts that need to come out, but didnt see much more on how to get it outta there, are there clips on there that need to be pry'd out?

 

you really dont need to do all that. i just took one out the other day, besides the fact that it was broken, i popped it out in 2 seconds. There wasn't any screws or anything. I cant recall exactly how i did it but it wasn't hard at all.

BE AWARE. if you disconnect your factory stereo and decide you want to put it back in even if its when you sell the car MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR CODE. i almost had to buy a friend of mine a new cd player because i forgot about the anti-theft code.

 

Umm its a 1990, is there an antitheft code for that one? and how do i get it? (FYI - I was looking at the dash, we fond 5 screws last night, and still wont come off... maybe me telling the year will help )

 

look around if all the screws are out pry at it a little it should give way. the car is old its probably in there. dont man handle it and break it though

 

Thanks, will try and post back.
EDIT: i guess im removing it as is, cause the radio itself doesnt work, and its a 1990, i dont think it has theftlock on it.

Well i didnt find anything holding it in, and it still wont come out, i tried to carefully pry it out, and its still stuck right in there. If anyone has a diagram of what needs to come out, please post it, im sooo agrevated already with this thing!

 

dude its and old car, jjust take ur time, i am sure it will come out with a little elbow grease and some patience

 

I was hauling away on that thing for an hour, it wouldnt come out, i got the 2 screws under the head unit, and the 3 screws behind the ashtray... is there anything else?

 

The guides are in the FAQ stickies up top:

That's a true story. WTF, broken hazard buttons? Theft-code in 1990? WTF! A 90 that still has a factory stereo?!

I pull decks out of cars easier than I fart. And with about the same amount of thought involved. I need to see the car to remember enough to give instructions.

It's a Honda... hmmm, drop whatever cover is beneath the radio. There's going to be a couple 8mm bolts...
