hey guys, i finnaly got a new cd player, and i posted about 2 days ago, about how i couldnt not take out the stock tape player, so 8 hours and 10 gatorades later, me and bud figured it out, thanks to you guys, now im having a problem putting the new unit in. First, i have all the wiring done correctly no problem there. second, here is where it really begins, the cubby area underneath the unit has 2 different sides, one with like long dull spikes, from front to near back, and the bottom is just flat, stupid me, didnt see how i took it out, maybe someone knoes? So ive been trying to stick it in with the spikes pointed up, i figure its for a space or something 3. when i removed the stock unit, there was this metal thing that came out with it, if you look at it on its side, it looks like a 5 or S, , again i didnt see how i pulled it out(doh) i thikn the stock unit sits on top of the metal thing, and at the base of the metal thing, it has 3 screws,(i only removed 2, one was not there)

i figure that the 2 screws push up against the cubby hole, which pushes up against the cd player, but the cubby whole doesnt reach all the way back, so i tried moving the whoel metal thing up, and it did reach, and it was tight and all, so i decided to go driving, then i saw there was a little space between the cuby and the cd player, so i pushed down on it, a tade bit, and woops there it pops out, and my trying to grap nock my self into neutral, scary when cars behind are going at 60 mph, anways, please help me guys..

hmm. well the metal thing as i recall does fit in there.. it bolts along the side of the inner wall.. so you have room now? is that question. it shouldnt be too hard just to get the cd player in. it will be upside down if its wrong..???? is it plugged up right. you said ??? so its working.. if it is an aftermarket cd player you might need to find a harness. one that fills in the gabs.. not sure.. reply with some answers and we'll see

 

you see the metal thing, bolts on to the bottom, you have to scew in 2 screws from under the dash, my thinking, is that the 2 screws push up against that black cubby hole, it isnt space, its an actualy cubby thing were you can place things in.

yeah, everything else is fine....

 

somebody respond pleasa, my fingers are hurting from so much screwing(not always a bad thing...) and i havent gotten anywhere since 9am, and its now 730pm

 

The 'S' bracket bolts/screws into the back your of your radio, then to a bracket behind your dash, you should see to holes for it to bolt to in there. That way no one can yank your radio out.

 

hmm, actually thats true, i didnt think about that, but i dont think are screws behind the new cd player, but it did come with a mounting braket, maybe there is a way to put the that mounting brake/sleeve into the space, although i dont see anway, but i guess you never nkow

 

i think im just gonna get a kit, how are hard are those to install?
