dont flame me if I am reposting tried searching but nothing came up.....I am trying to install an aftermarket double din stereo......can some one guide me as to how should I go about removing the panel that holds the entire OE radio assembly. I am buying the double din radio install kit but some direction of how to rwmove the oe panel would be helpful.

BTW mine is a 08 LX

 

Gotta pry it off. It's better to do it in an inconspicuous spot, such as right beside the steering wheel, below the ignition.

You have the new panel, right?

 

yea I guess
I dont knwo the differenc between the old and the new...but since it is 2008 I guess it is the new panel

 

Take off the under dash panel below your steering shroud. Then there is a screw to the left of your steering wheel on the shroud around your tach which needs to be taken off next...

Then there is a small cover panel in the pocket below the radio housing that needs to be taken off (the top of the inside of the pocket) and there are 2 8mm screws holding the radio in from underneath. Once you take off the panel around the tach, and the 2 8mm under the radio, you are good to go.

good luck

 

I meant the panel you can pick up at the dealership, designed for an aftermarket radio to be installed in. It's exactly the same as the OEM panel, but with a cutout for the radio to go in, since it would most likely consist of more than a 3/4" by 6" orange line.

 

yes fiji I have the new panel I bought it off ebay color match to the OE that I have...

Thankx JT will try the instructions that you gave....

 

punch it til it gets out of the way.

 

Wow, that's helpful.
