it's a '96 LS Integra

It still has a tape deck in it, and I'm trying to replace it with a factory CD player, but I can't figure out how to get the damned deck out. Does the factory deck need those flat little "keys" to come out? Or am I just not seeing something?

 

two bolts holding it up from the back.

hope this helps.

 

those screws are a pain , goodluck

 

you are taking the center console out right?

theres a good article in team-integra

 

go to a drag strip/ lonely country road and induce large amounts of wheel hop.

works like a charm

or, do what everyone else is saying and take out the center console. there are 2 screw/bolts holding it it. just watch ur nuckles, blood may or may not result from trying to get the damn thing out

 

yeah, like they said, you first must take out the center console. Then you have to take out the ashtray, then take the screwed out of the back of the cd player

 

1. remove shift ****
2. remove 4 screws holding in the armrest
3. remove bracket cover under handbrake
4. remove the 2 phillip head screws
5. remove armrest piece
6. remove ashtray from holder
7. remove the two screws on the left and right side, leave the middle one
8. pull that bracket that holds the ashtray and cig lighter, should be two clips holding that in

9. remove two phillip head screws on left and right side that is exposed after you remove the ashtray/cig lighter bracket

10. remove two phillip head screws, one on the lower left by your foot in the driver side, and the other on the passenger side

11. remove this lower piece
12. reach underneath and LOOSEN the two phillip head screws holding the stereo in
13. after screws are loosened pull the stereo out

hope this helps, let me know if you have any problems.. this is off the top of my head, since I remove the trim pieces regularly to vacumm, etc.

 

2 screws on the bottom of the radio in the very back.

You need a angle nut driver to remove them.

 

or to contort your body enough if you dont have one

i installed my own cd player and it was 3 days before i had it in cause i couldn't find the right wiring harness but i found one at wal-mart for $5 and then it finally worked

 

are u sure u have to take out the entire center console?

i mean, all i did was take one screw out from behind the stock deck.. which was screwed to some metal plate.

and that thing came out.

lol unfortunatley this actually works hehe

 

i'm try'n to take mine out too, but it's also got the phone system on top of the stero deck, and when i try pulling it out, both deck sticks together, and it just won't come out right even after losing the 2 screws at the back, but the whole thing was lose, but seems like there's also something securing the deck besides those 2 screws...anyone kno how???

 

i had a huge problem with these two screws when i took my factory stereo out. You don't need to remove the console to get at them though, but it might make it 800% easier if you do.
Lay down on the passenger side floor and look up into the console area, you may need a flashlite to see the screws. There they are, grinnin right back at you, almost whipering, "were not goin anywhere"


good luck

 

remove the center console... that's the trick

Damn you guys are all over the place! Do I have to actually remove interior trim pieces just to see these two screws? I am actually pretty limber, and I have an assortment of wobble sockets, angle drivers, etc. My other car is a '76 Corvette, so I'm used to dealing with badly located fasteners.

 

u dont have to remove the center console and trim around the shifter all the way, u just have to take out the screws so it u can move it a little. i dont remember what trim pieces u have to take out around the radio, but it isnt that hard. just getting to the 2 screws in the back can be a pain, definetly need a wobble attachment.

 

yea once the center console is removed, you will be able to look under the radio and see 2 silver screw/bolts(i dont remember which), unfasten those two, then the radio will pull out along with teh little tray under it, and then its just the 2 screws on the side that connect the tray to the radio.
